ABSTRACT

The lack of environmental flow of Namdae River in Gangneung causes water pollution that could decimate population of fish and is destroying the ecosystem. Only 0.056 m³/s of water flow amount was measured at the Obong Dam, substantially below a legal environmental flow (0.4 m³/s). The Korea Rural Community Corporation takes more than 2 billion won every year for supplying residental water to the Gangneung City from Obong Dam. Considering its failure to maintain the legal guideline of environmental water flow while providing residential water to Gangneung City, it makes undue profits about 290-670 million won every year. Therefore, the Gangneung City should conduct negotiations with the Korea Rural Community Corporation for re-establishment of water rights for Namdae River. It is crucial for recovery of the ecosystem in Namdae River to map out a plan that secures the supply of proper environmental flow.
