Water Resources

1.Water Resources

The Earth is surrounded by water, yet less than 1% of the planet's total water is available for human use, highlighting the limited nature of this resource.

2.The Earth and Water

- The Earth appears green because about 71% of its surface is covered by oceans.
- The water on Earth's surface exists in three forms: solid ice, gaseous water vapor, and most importantly, liquid water.
- The total amount of water on Earth's surface is approximately 1.38 billion cubic kilometers.

3.Limited Water Resources

- When considering the total amount of water on Earth's surface as 100%, 97.4% is seawater, and the remaining 2.6% is distributed between land and the atmosphere.
- Of that 2.6%, two-thirds is locked in ice or glaciers, and the remaining one-third is mostly contained in underground aquifers covered by rock layers, making it difficult to access.

The Water Cycle

Introducing the Earth's major water cycle and the smaller water cycle,
which include processes such as evaporation, condensation (cloud formation),
precipitation (snow, rain), and infiltration into the Earth's surface.

1.The Global Water Cycle

- On a global scale, the water cycle involves water continuously circulating between liquid, gas, and solid states.
- Water that evaporates from the Earth's surface moves into the atmosphere as water vapor, which then condenses or sublimates to form clouds.
- Within the clouds, small water droplets or ice crystals grow and eventually fall back to the surface as rain or snow.
- The amount of precipitation moving from the atmosphere to the surface is nearly equal to the amount of water evaporating from the surface back into the atmosphere.

2.The Local Water Cycle

- In urban areas or small watersheds, the water cycle involves water that evaporates and then falls as precipitation back to the same region.
- In cities, the absence of trees and grass, replaced by concrete, prevents rainwater from being absorbed by the land, disrupting the local water cycle.
- The acceleration of the urban heat island effect and soil sealing reduce the evaporation of rainwater, making it impossible to naturally lower temperatures. This leads to a vicious cycle, as the reduction in moisture supply diminishes the formation of local clouds.

Safe Water Resources

Introducing the Ministry of Environment's watershed protection policy,
which is the fundamental measure for ensuring the supply of clean tap water,
as well as the characteristics of water resources in Korea.

1. Efforts for Clean Source Water

- Water intake refers to the process of drawing water from sources such as groundwater, rivers, lakes, and seawater for various uses, including drinking water, industrial, and agricultural purposes.
- The methods of water intake vary depending on the type and location of the water source. Generally, intake facilities such as intake gates, pipes, and towers are installed in rivers.
- The most fundamental measure for ensuring the supply of clean tap water is the preservation of the water quality of the source.
- Currently, the water quality of the Daegu water source meets Class 2 water standards, with a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 3 mg/L or lower.
- The Ministry of Environment designates and manages watershed protection zones and restricted areas for factory construction to secure clean and safe source water.

2.Characteristics of Korea's Water Resources

- The total amount of water resources in Korea is 129.7 billion cubic meters per year.
- After accounting for losses such as evaporation, the available water resources amount to 75.3 billion cubic meters, which is approximately 58% of the total.
- About 70% of Korea's land area has a slope of 20% or more, causing rainfall to quickly flow into rivers and be lost.
- There is a large seasonal variation in precipitation, with 43% (56 billion cubic meters) of water runoff occurring from June to August, when floods are most frequent, and 15% (19.3 billion cubic meters) of runoff during normal periods.
- Of this, 33.3 billion cubic meters of water is supplied through rivers, dams, and groundwater, excluding water lost to the sea, and is utilized as a resource.
- In Korea, where there is significant seasonal variation in rainfall, water resources are mainly managed by constructing embankments (dam) to store water.
