2. C learw ater K orea M anagem ent Overview of K orea's W ater Resources A crucial resource on every continent is clean w ater, particularly in nations w ith high tem peratures. W ater is essential to the body's num erous crucial processes, including m aintaining cell viability and m aintaining body tem perature. G enerally speaking, a typical individual can go three days w ithout w ater. The am ount of w ater that a particular body requires and how it utilises w ater, for exam ple, can have an im pact on this. The am ount of w ater a person's body uses depends on their surroundings, according to clearw ater m anagem ent K orea. A person w ho lives in a hot clim ate sw eats, w hich causes them to lose m ore w ater, w hereas a person w ho lives in a clim ate-controlled environm ent w on't sw eat since their bodies don't need as m uch w ater clearw ater m anagem ent korea. The clim ate of South K orea has a chilly, largely dry w inter and a hot, m uggy sum m er. W ith the exception of the southern coast, the m ost arctic average m onthly tem peratures in w inter are below zero. The adm inistration of integrated w ater resources The governm ent's goal, according to C learw ater M anagem ent K orea, is to preserve pure w ater in lakes, rivers, and across the entire nation w hile ensuring a reliable and secure w ater supply. In 2018, K orea redesigned its national w ater m anagem ent system , consolidating form erly disparate m inistry functions into a single fram ew ork under the exclusive control of the M inistry of E nvironm ent. 2

3. To guarantee fair, sustainable, and econom ical use of the nation's fixed w ater resources, the m inistry's reform goal is to increase adm inistrative efficiency in w ater m anagem ent. The new W ater M anagem ent Fram ew ork A ct m andates that K orea create a N ational W ater M anagem ent Plan every ten years that outlines policy objectives and concrete steps to address a w ide range of w ater-related issues, including the w ater industry, w ater resources, w ater quality, natural disasters, and conflicts. D isaster A voidance The effects of clim ate change are causing rainfall patterns in K orea to becom e m ore erratic, concentrated, and intense. The nation hopes to im prove the national system by utilising cutting-edge inform ation netw orks and technology to save lives during w ater-related em ergencies. For instance, the four m ain river flood control offices m ake predictions, gather hydrological and m eteorological data, assess flood threats, and send out real-tim e flood alerts from 60 locations around the country. C onflict Resolution K orea's w ater policy have focused heavily on the dow nstream and upstream stretches betw een rural and urban regions. The nation has to develop new legislative tools to address the disparity, such w ater consum ption fees that dow nstream tap w ater custom ers am ass and then distribute to upstream com m unities to enhance w ater quality. 3

4. W ater A vailability 99.1% of the population can now efficiently use K orean w ater supply services after decades of m aintaining netw orks and enlarging w aterw orks facilities. B ut they m ust address the difference betw een urban and rural areas. The extension of w ater supply services and investm ents in rural com m unities and vulnerable regions are now K orea's m ain priorities. W ater supplies w ill eventually be enough for the entire nation. C onclusion 2020 saw the creation of K orea's first N ational W ater M anagem ent Plan, and the nation is anticipating im proved w ater progress in the ensuing years thanks to C learw ater M anagem ent K orea. The service delivery of drinking w ater in large cities w ill be m uch im proved by K orea's sm art w ater efforts. E very province and m unicipality w ill eventually have access to w ater during em ergencies. 4
