Gyeongsan City and Korea Water Resources Corporation Sign MOU for Namcheon Stream Maintenance Water Supply, Pledging to Create a Healthy Aquatic Ecosystem

On November 19, the city of Gyeongsan (Mayor Cho Hyunil) announced that it had signed a work agreement with the Unmun Branch of Korea Water Resources Corporation at the Clean Water Business Headquarters for the supply of maintenance water (environmental improvement water) to the Namcheon Stream.

This agreement was established as part of the "Namcheon Natural Ecological Stream Creation Project," which aims to transform urban streams in Gyeongsan into distinctive waterfront environments.

The purpose of this agreement is to fundamentally resolve the causes of concerns about odor generated by pumping and supplying reclaimed wastewater to address the severe drying of Namcheon Stream (a local stream) that flows through the center of Gyeongsan due to insufficient flow during normal periods.

Through this agreement, Gyeongsan will be able to utilize the existing raw water intake and supply facilities of Korea Water Resources Corporation located in Daejeong-dong, thereby securing a stable and abundant water source. This is expected to resolve the drying of Namcheon Stream and create a healthy aquatic ecosystem and waterfront space.

In addition, both organizations plan to establish a concrete cooperation system for stable water supply and work together to manage water resources reliably in preparation for natural disasters such as droughts and floods.

Cho Hyunil, Mayor of Gyeongsan, stated, "With the additional supply of maintenance water for the stream, a healthy aquatic ecosystem will be restored, and Namcheon will be developed into a nature-friendly stream where people and nature coexist. We will continue to do our best so that citizens can enjoy a pleasant waterfront environment through close cooperation between the two organizations."
