K-water has developed national industrial complexes in Yeosu,
Onsan, Gumi and Changweon to foster heavy and chemical
industries since 1970s, including the nation’s first planned city
in Ansan, which indicates that it has significantly contributed
to the development of the national economy.
With its own water-related technologies, K-water has also
developed lots of waterfronts around dams, rivers, lakes and the
sea, including eco-friendly, people-oriented waterfront cities
where water, nature, culture, and human beings can coexist
with one another.
