Management of Water Resources on the Han River, Korea
The mainstream of the Han River is the second longest in Korea after the Nakdong River. This chapter introduces the Han River Flood Control Office (HRFCO), which first opened in 1974. The HRFCO provides flood forecasting, not only to the Han River basin, but also to the Imjin and Anseong river basins, and provides and shares realtime information with other relevant agencies. It provides public services by producing highquality hydrology and river information needed for stakeholders and river users. The HRFCO reviews the integrated operation plan of the dams in the entire Han River water system, reflecting the operation plan for each facility and verifying the water supply stability by analysing the water balance and adjusting the facility discharge plan. Water management technology developments have placed water and its benefits to citizens, society, business, and the environment at the centre of Korea's development.
