[사회]”To prevent water conflicts in Seoul” … First episode of “Great Depth” at Gangnam Station, Gwanghwamun and Dorimcheon

[앵커]

Last month’s record heavy rains flooded downtown Seoul, killing eight people.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to install a “deep” rainwater drainage system, first in Gangnam Station, Gwanghwamun and Dorimcheon, which are vulnerable to flooding, to prevent rain damage.

This was reported by the journalist Hwang Bo Hye-kyung.

The water gushed from the middle of the road and the whole road turned into a sea of ​​water.

On the 8th of last month, Gangnam Station in Seoul was flooded with record heavy rains of over 100mm per hour.

As the area around Gangnam Station is lower than the surrounding area, it is often prone to flooding when it rains.

In the Dorimcheon Stream in Sillim-dong, Seoul, there have been several incidents in which citizens have been isolated or killed due to water flooding.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to build a “Great Deep Rainwater Tunnel” to prevent rain damage in these habitually flooded areas.

Deep rainwater tunnel refers to a drainage system that creates a large tunnel 40-50m underground and stores rainwater when it rains and then dumps it into a river.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to invest 900 billion won by 2027 to install it in three locations: Gangnam Station, Dorimcheon and Gwanghwamun.

In the section from Gangnam Station to the Han River, a drainage system capable of handling more than 3.1 km in length and 110 mm of rain per hour is being promoted.

It was decided to review the installation of the Gwanghwamun area at a length of 3.2 km from Hyoja-dong to Cheonggyecheon to Jongno-gu and 5.2 km in length from Sindaebang station in Yeouido to Dongjak-gu for Dorimcheon on a scale of 100 mm or more per hour.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to promote drainage facilities in Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu, Gangdong-gu and Yongsan-gu among the six locations Mayor Oh Se-hoon has promised to install in stages.
