Enhance water security and supply clean water for all
Strengthen water supply services by enhancing water security and integrating existing facilities (dams and reservoirs), and develop alternative water sources to expand the water quantity capacity
Reuse of water as the main source of the water supply and integrated water management from planning to construction and supply
Increase the stability and efficiency of the water supply by developing an IWRM system for each basin such as the integration of metropolitan and local water supply systems (planning, facilities, and organization, etc.)
Establish water supply facilities using existing water supply sources, and increase the investment to enhance water supply safety
Careful consideration for establishing new facilities and preparing new business models for modernization
Increase investment in vulnerable areas and reduce gaps in water quality, quantity, and price
Introduce cutting-edge technology and smart water management (SWM) to improve water quality and provide a safe water supply through indoor water supply pipe management
