The trend is paying attention to how the 11th typhoon 'Hinnamno', which rained heavily, will affect the drought conditions in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do.
According to the Yeong-Textile Station Headquarters of the Korea Water Resources Corporation on the 6th, the water storage rate of the multi-purpose dams supplying water to Gwangju and Jeonnam was 34.8% at 7 am today, 34.8% for Juam Dam, 23.7% for Seomjingang Dam, 43.7% for Jangheung Dam, and 36.7% for Pyeongnim Dam. , Dongbok Dam 31.9%, etc.
The water storage rate of the dam was 32.1% at Juam Dam, 23% at Seomjingang Dam, 40.7% at Jangheung Dam, 35.6% at Pyeongnim Dam and 28.3% at Dongbok Dam on the 4th, before rain.
The Korea Water Resources Corporation predicted that the water level of each multi-purpose dam will continue to rise for the next two days, as it takes time for rainwater to flow in.
For two days from yesterday, the cumulative precipitation in Gwangju and Jeonnam was 234.5 mm in Gwangyang Baegunsan, 233.5 mm in Wando Cheongsan Island, 215.7 mm in intensity, 202 mm in Haenam Hyeonsan, 180.7 mm in strong earthquake, 180.1 mm in Goheung, 177 mm in Jangheung Gwansan, 174.5 mm in Yeosu Baekya, and 168 mm in Boseong. ㎜, Gurye Seongsamjae 166㎜, Gwangju Mudeungsan 140.5㎜, Gwangju 87㎜, etc.
However, the Korea Water Resources Corporation expects that rain caused by the typhoon will not be sufficient to lift the drought response stage that has been applied to Juam Dam and Pyeongnim Dam.
Juam Dam and Pyeongnim Dam have been issued a 'severe' stage, the highest drought response stage.
The water supply adjustment standards for multi-purpose dams in preparation for drought are managed in four stages: concern, caution, alert, and serious.
