<Anchor> The

waterfront park, which was created with a lot of money, has disappeared without a trace while flowing water from the Yongdam Dam. Some say that creating a waterfront park in an area that is often submerged in water is a problem.

This is CJB reporter Jin Ki-hoon.

muddy water that has filled up to the chin of the leg flows rapidly.

Trees falling above the water, like water plants, make you realize how much water has blown.


This is the site of a waterfront park with a wide rape flower field of over 80,000 square meters.

However, it is now completely buried in the river so that no trace can be found.

It is said that it is an annual event that the waterside park was flooded due to the surprise discharge of Yongdam Dam.

[Lee Gyu-tae/Dong-myeon, Okcheon-gun, Chungbuk: Even if only 100-150 mm comes, the rape field is buried.] The

Geum River basin and the waterfront park in Yeongdong-gun have also disappeared everywhere.

Residents say it was wrong to create a waterfront park in a flooded area.

[Hyunho Choi/Shenzhen-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do: It was locked in the same case last year, so even a little (rain) is a completely famous office. (No park) is better.] The

Yeongdong and Okcheon area waterfront parks were created with 13.6 billion won in national expenditure as part of the Four Rivers Project in 2011.

However, since it was installed lower than the planned flood level of the Geum River, flooding and restoration are repeated year after year.

[Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Daejeon Regional Construction Management Office official: It is built below the planned flood level. For that part, there is no decision about how we build the embankment or anything else.] Although a

wasteful budget continues to be put in, fundamental flood prevention measures are in fact difficult to find.
