This measure is notable for repurposing water spraying vehicles, originally secured for heatwave response, to provide agricultural water according to the drought situation. The aim is to quickly supply water to the agricultural sites by saving the time and cost required to secure additional equipment.

The county will continue monitoring the agricultural water shortages in each town and village and prioritize the deployment of water spraying vehicles in areas experiencing severe drought or where water supply is urgently needed, in order to minimize crop damage.

Especially with the simultaneous occurrence of the heatwave and drought, utilizing existing disaster response equipment according to on-site needs for agricultural water supply is expected to improve administrative resource efficiency and enable swift responses to water shortages in farming communities.

Im Ji-rak, County Governor of Hwasun, stated, "With the ongoing heatwave and drought, the difficulties faced in the agricultural sector are considerable. We will actively utilize every available administrative resource to reduce the burden on our farmers. We will thoroughly monitor drought conditions in all 13 towns and villages, and do our utmost to provide prompt support where agricultural water is needed."
