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 Korehas 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. Korean Water Quality Monitoring Stations Currently, there are over 1,500 water quality monitoring stations operating across the nation: 697 for rivers, 474 for agricultural regions, 185 for marshes and lakes, and 120 for other places. 49 automatic monitoring stations are primarily in use. Five common factors, including dissolved oxygen (DO), total organic carbon (TOC), hydrogen potential (pH), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and optional items, are measured as part of the water quality monitoring. By testing 20 things at 2,499 locations twice a year, monitoring stations assessed the quality of the water. 299 (6.3%) of the groundwater samples examined in 2007 did not meet water quality criteria. From 3.6% in 2003 to 5.4% in 2004, 4.8% in 2005, and 6.3% in 2010, it has improved but has been increasing (2006). Clearwater management Korea is of the opinion that they intend to broaden their reach as soon as the water quality improves. Water Resources for Drinking The difficulty is almost as significant for Korea's lakes, which are primarily constructed reservoirs that provide water for irrigation, home use, and industrial use. The Juam, Mulguem, Paldang, and Daechong reservoirs are the fourmost significant drinking water sources that are the focus of the 2005 water quality study. Additionally, these issues are brought on by the eutrophication of certain sources of drinking water: 1. The 49 lakes that were graded have two hypertrophic lakes. 2. 11 are eutrophic or nutrient-rich. 3. The nutritional content of 33 is mesotrophic, or of medium quality. 4. Three of those mesotrophic organisms are nearly oligotrophic.

3. Shoreline Water Quality Coastal waters, those portions of the ocean closest to the land, are among the most organic water sources. With harbours, inlets, bays, or coves included, the measurement begins when the beach shore is struck by the breaking waves and extends outward to 100 nautical miles (about 115 miles or 185 km). 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. Aquaculture and fisheries are seriously threatened by decomposing algae or red tides brought on by agricultural runoff and other sources of nutrient pollution, which also has a negative impact on the economy. The National Marine Environment Preservation Plan was created by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries with the goal of preserving and restoring the quality of the coastal waters in five class III areas that have been badly impacted. Incheon-Sihwa, a region near Seoul, and Masan-Chinhae Bay, on the south coast, are among those recognized as "Specially Managed Seas" under the Marine Pollution Prevention Act in 2000. The next year, in order to maintain their Class I status, the ministry designated four additional 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.
