As a huge amount of rainwater poured out this time, the garbage that was washed away with it is also a big problem.



All kinds of garbage pass through rivers and rivers and eventually flow into the sea, and reporter Kim Bo-mi followed the waterway and covered the situation.

It is the Han River Park where Anyangcheon begins.



If you come this way, there should be a bicycle path on this side, but as you can see, the road is submerged and cut off, and when you look back, you can see tree branches and garbage such as styrofoam floating on the railing in a tangled state.



You can see bicycles, road barriers, and even carpets that have not been taken out yet.



All of them are garbage that has been washed down in the Han River due to this heavy rain.



[Nearby residents: If it rains a lot, it takes a lot of garbage.

Refrigerator also floats, and so does the car.]



Incheon's Gulpocheon, where water flows into the Han River and the West Sea.



A barrier was installed by floating a floating object to prevent the garbage from being washed away together, but it was not enough.



It is a barrier made by weaving an iron cage and a drum, and if you look at it, you can see the garbage that has already passed in the direction of the Han River because it cannot bear the weight of the garbage.



[Nearby residents: Sometimes the water goes over this (barrier).

Then I'll skip it.

If you go over it, you may fall into the Ara Waterway.]



In the end, garbage that could not be stopped and flowed into the sea threatens the livelihood of fishermen.



Deum-ri village in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, suffers from a headache every year during the rainy season.



Even the garbage collected this morning (the 11th) exceeds the height of the reporters.



Side dish lids, scrubbers, glass bottles, and even pumpkins.



Because of this tangled garbage, the ship was tied up at the dock.



Fishing for a living is also difficult.



[Im Yi Lee / Fisherman in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon: All the garbage is hanging, and there is no ship without garbage hanging on each boat.

(I can't even fish?) I can't catch fish, because of the garbage.]



Even if I use an excavator to remove the garbage, it is piled up again like a mountain in less than two days.



[Im-Lee Lee / Fisherman in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon: Everything here is garbage.

I scooped it up this morning, but in the evening, the water is full again, so the tide comes and goes.

Then all the washed-out garbage will come up again and get caught again.] With the



prospect that heavy rain will continue next week, fishermen are only getting more anxious.
