<Anchor> In the

middle of the central region, there is a lot of rain on the upper side of the Han River, and as you can see behind me, the Paldang Dam is opening water gates all day (3 days) and draining water. For more information, I'll connect to a reporter on the field.

Reporter Jo Yun-ha, the Paldang Dam directly affects the water level of the Han River, but how many gates are open now?

<Reporter>

Yes, the Paldang Dam is still opening 10 out of 15 water gates, and the amount of discharge when rain does not normally fall below 200 tons per second, but currently releases more than 9,000 tons per second.

In the afternoon, when it was raining, 15,000 tons of water was discharged per second.

The water discharged from here arrives at the Hangang Bridge in Seoul in about 4 to 4 hours and a half.

Due to the rain pouring in the metropolitan area, the Cheongpyeong Dam, the Han River water dam, is also the first to open the floodgates and flow about 7,000 tons of water per second.

If

you continue to open the <Anchor> floodgate, the water level of the Han River and surrounding rivers will increase, so people around you may have to be careful.

<Reporter>

Yes, yes, heavy rains continue around the southern and northern parts of Gyeonggi Province, and heavy rain warnings are still maintained at the Wonmi Bridge in Yeongju, Cheongmicheon, Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.

Rain continues to rain in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, but flood warnings in Namyangju and Guri areas in Gyeonggi Province have been upgraded to flood warnings at about 10:10 am, and are still continuing.

At one point, Wang Sukcheon, which passed through this area, almost overflowed, causing Namyangju City to evacuate about 120 people living in the lowlands.

The current water level of Pocheon Yeongpyeong Bridge, where the flood warning was issued, is about 2.9m, and the Pilseung Bridge at the northernmost point of the Imjin River is about 3m, which requires attention beyond the evacuation level of 1m.

As it is raining now, it is a good idea to check the flood situation from time to time and refrain from outside activities if possible.
