Anseong Yulgokcheon 'Flood Damage Wetland Improvement'... 15.9 Billion Won Invested

Yulgokcheon

Gyeonggi Province recently completed the Yulgokcheon "Flood-Prone Wetland Improvement Project" in the area from Yulgok-ri, Samjuk-myeon, Anseong City to Seokcheon-ri, Baekam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin City.

The flood-prone wetland improvement project is implemented for flood control purposes such as embankment reinforcement and riverbed improvement in areas urgently needing flood damage prevention.

Gyeonggi Province invested a total project cost of 15.9 billion KRW and began construction in December 2019, renovating a river section with a width of 25 meters and a length of 2.07 km.

In Anseong City, despite receiving 216 mm of rain in one day due to the impact of Typhoon Khanun, Yulgokcheon, which had secured floodgate and embankment maintenance and cross-sectional flow area, was able to avoid damage.

Gyeonggi Province created an eco-friendly river by applying environmental ecological blocks and stone nets to Yulgokcheon to allow plants to grow naturally. Additionally, embankment roads and buoy roads were maintained to facilitate the access of agricultural machinery for surrounding farms.

Park Seong-sik, head of the River Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We will focus on maintaining areas expected to suffer flood damage and do our best to prevent major damage from heavy rains during the rainy season."
