1. Environmental Issues Relating to Water in South Korea, by Clearwater Management

2. A high standard must be upheld to guarantee that drinking water is free of pollutants and harsh chemicals. Water is a resource that is vital to everyone on the planet. Clearwater Management Korea has given the production of clean, suitable for human consumption water top priority following the 1990 water contamination crises. A sustainable level of water clarity in Korea has been ensured over the past few years thanks to various solutions and decisions. In addition to more accessible supplies of drinkable water, there are additional alternatives, such as water quality monitoring stations. Continue talking about these. Stations for Monitoring the Quality of Water in Korea Currently, there are over 1,500 water quality monitoring stations operating across the nation; 697 of them are for rivers, 474 are for agricultural regions, 185 are for marshes and lakes, and 120 are for other places. 49 automatically running monitoring stations make up the majority of the system. The monitoring of water quality looks at five common factors, including dissolved oxygen (DO), total organic carbon (TOC), hydrogen potential (pH), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and optional items.

3. 20 components were measured at 2,499 monitoring stations twice a year to determine the quality of the water. A groundwater quality analysis conducted in 2007 revealed that 299 samples (6.3%) did not achieve required water quality levels. From 3.6% (2003) to 5.4% (2004), 4.8% (2005), and 6.3% in the last five years, it has improved but has been increasing (2006) Administration of Clearwater As soon as the water quality improves, Korea thinks they'll move on to new regions. Water Resources for Drinking The difficulty is almost as remarkable for Korea's lakes, which are mostly artificial reservoirs that provide water for irrigation, domestic use, and industrial use. The Juam, Mulguem, Paldang, and Daechong reservoirs are the four most significant drinking water sources that are the focus of the 2005 water quality study. Additionally, these issues are brought on by the eutrophication of those sources of drinking water The 49 lakes that were graded have two hypertrophic lakes. 11 are eutrophic or nutrient-rich. The nutritional content of 33 is mesotrophic, or of medium quality. Three of those mesotrophic organisms are nearly oligotrophic. Water Quality Off the Coast Coastal water, which is found in the ocean's regions closest to the land, is one of the most natural water sources. In addition to harbours, inlets, bays, and coves, the measurement extends outward to 100 nautical miles (about 115 miles or 185 km) from the point where the breakers first touch the beach shore. Korea divided coastal water quality into the three groups below: The highest class is I. This criteria is met by 35% of the coast. Intermediate class II. This criteria is met by 55% of the coast. The lowest grade is Class III. This criteria is met by 10% of the coast.

4. Aquaculture and fisheries are seriously threatened by decomposing algae or red tides brought on by nutrient pollution from agriculture and other sources, which also has a negative impact on the economy. To maintain and improve coastal water quality in five severely impacted class III locations, the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry created the National Marine Environment Preservation Plan. The Incheon-Sihwa region near Seoul and Masan- Chinhae Bay on the south coast are among the areas that the Marine Pollution Prevention Act classified as "Specially Managed Seas" in 2000. In order to maintain their Class I status, the ministry designated four more areas as Environment Preservation Seas. Conclusion In 2022, there will be a greater emphasis on clean water because to urbanisation and climate change. Drinkable water is supplied by Clearwater Management Korea with the greatest level of adherence to the most recent and ideal safety procedures.
