– Establishment of smart flood management system for national rivers and local rivers affected by drainage
– Completed construction at the end of May for a total of 522 locations by investing KRW 373 billion from the government
– Remarkably strengthened flood response capability in the era of climate change by remote control of drain gate according to water level
Gyeongsangnam-do has 11 'smart flood management systems' (16 national rivers, 373 local rivers) in 291 national rivers and 82 local rivers affected by drainage in Gyeongsangnam-do to actively respond to guerrilla-type torrential rains and typhoons caused by extreme weather. open) and announced that it will start operating in earnest from the rainy season this year.
The 'Smart Flood Management System' is a system that combines various information and communication technologies (ICT) to check the water level and sluice gate in real time and remotely control the opening and closing of the sluice gate according to the situation. It is expected.
Gyeongsangnam-do started with the leading project for the Namgang River in Jinju City in December 2020, and the Nakdong River and Hwapo Stream in Gimhae City. Won, and in May 2021, construction was completed for a total of 7 locations.
From the 18th to the 27th of last month, the self-inspection was completed, and the plan is to start full-scale operation and prepare for the rainy season this year.
It is expected to minimize flood damage and increase safety by effectively responding to natural disasters by improving the remote control and control method based on objective big data, which has been manipulated by the experience of private sluice managers.
In addition, based on the operational performance, we plan to apply the smart flood management system to floodgates that require remote automated control in all local rivers in the province in the future.
Kwak Geun-seok, head of the Gyeongnam River Safety Division, said, “With the establishment of a smart flood management system to which information and communication technology is applied, real-time monitoring and remote control of floodgates in preparation for natural disasters are expected to further strengthen flood response capabilities. He asked for active response and continuous cooperation with cities and counties in the province to prepare for this year's floods.
