Introduction of Gyeong-in Ara Waterway for Multiple Purposes

K-water, the only water-related solution provider in Korea, constructed the Gyeong-in Ara Waterway, the first in-land canal operating in Korea.

The Gyeong-in canal was originally designed to prevent the chronic flooding problem around the Gulpo River region, but was redesigned to serve as a flood prevention facility as well as a transport route. The goals of the project now include large vessel navigation to Seoul, flood damage protection in the Gulpo River basin, and contribution to the local economy through tourism, culture, and leisure.
