Water Safety Services
In Korea, over two-thirds of precipitation occurs during the flooding season. Along with this, rapidly changing river water flow makes it important to hold and release water through dams. To create the value of water, even in changing water management conditions such as abnormal climate in recent years, K-water uses advanced technologies for the integrated operation of water management facilities. K-water continues to make strong efforts to improve credibility of the water supply through the establishment of a water supply system that reflects the water circulation system.
