The city is actively applying forecast data on major water pollutants such as algae, odor-causing substances, and manganese?provided by K-water's AI-based water quality prediction system "Pre-water"?to the operation of its purification plants, thereby managing the Daecheong water system, the main source of drinking water for citizens, in a scientific manner.

The participating organizations share water quality prediction information in real time twice a month and hold an annual technology exchange workshop to maintain their cooperative system.

Park Dohyun, head of the Daejeon Waterworks Headquarters, stated, "With this agreement as an opportunity, we will make every effort to more actively utilize the AI-based water quality management system, respond proactively to abnormal water quality and harmful factors in Daecheong Lake, and ensure a stable supply of clean and safe tap water."
