The Gyeonggi Provincial Government will provide emergency support to Gangneung, Gangwon Province, which is struggling with drought, by supplying 16,000 bottles of 2-liter bottled water.

On September 1, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that, in consultation with the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, it had decided to use disaster relief funds to deliver 16,000 bottles of 2-liter bottled water to areas with restricted water supply over a two-day period.

Due to a prolonged lack of rainfall, Gangneung has been unable to provide a stable supply of water for daily use, resulting in restricted water supply for residents in certain areas.

Kim Sungjung, the First Vice Governor of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "I hope that the provision of bottled water and bottled water packs will help Gangneung overcome this extreme drought, even if only a little," adding, "As drought damage caused by the climate crisis is expected to become more frequent and severe in the future, we will continue to respond quickly to minimize the impact."
