Application Case
Decision Making Support System for Integrated Water Resources management
Intelligent Integrated Water Resources System has Secured and Supplied Water Efficiently while at the same time Disaster Damages have been Drastically Reduced.
Systemic water management is necessary for Korea as it experiences severe flooding as well as an increased number of droughts and large differences in water resources across regions and seasons.
In dams and reservoirs across the country, systemic and integrated water management is being realized through realtime remote monitoring based on accurate weather prediction, hydrological data processing, and power generation integrated operation system.

-
Overview
- Real-time data acquisition from about 2,000 observation facilities across the country
- Integrated Water Resources Management in terms of water supply & flood control based on scientific analysis
- Integrated operation and management of 50 dams & weirs across the country
-
Expected Effects
- Supplying 12.4 billion ㎥/yr of water for domestic/industrial/agricultural/instream flow purposes (65% of total water usage in Korea)
- Stable flood control via dam management with a flood control capacity of 4.9 billion ㎥ (95% of the entire nation's flood control capacity in Korea)
-
Achieved Effects
- Supplied 112% of the nation’s water demand despite less rainfall (82%) compared with previous years (2014)
- No flood damage occurred in the four major river basins (the Han River, Nakdong River, Gum River and Seomjin River) two years in a row. (Annual Report of the National Emergency Management Agency, 2014)

Smart Water City
Good Tasting Water, Good place to live
A “Smart Water City” (SWC) refers to a city realizing a healthy water supply system that applies ICT to all water supply processes from water source to water faucets. In doing so, it systemically manages water volume and water quality through stabilization of water sources and the introduction of customized advanced water treatment. Supplying faucet water information (such as water quality), it provides healthy water that customers can trust. Since 2014, the SWC project has been implemented in Paju as a pilot case.

-
Overview
- Installment of facilities to optimize remaining chlorine in the tap water supply process
- ICT-based real-time water quality monitoring and information disclosure
- Flushing of pipelines in the section where water quality is expected to worsen
- Total Care Service (Water Coordinator, Water Doctor)
-
Expected Effects
- Enhancement of tap water quality stability and reduction of chlorine odor
- Prevention of water quality deterioration during transport
- Increase in tap water trust by installing electronic notice boards which show tap water quality
- Increase in tap water trust will lead to increase in the percentage of people drinking tap water
-
Achieved Effects
- The percentage of population to drink tap water has gone from 1% up to 24.5%
- City residents' satisfaction 88.2%
