Leaving
behind an era featuring the most rapid
industrialization in Korean history
and all-encompassing changes, both positive
and negative, the new millenium opens
with great optimism. In the last century,
humanity ascended into the "Age
of Affluence" thanks, in part,
to the development of science and technology,
as well as the rapid progress of industrialization.
However, "Securing Clean and Plentiful
Water" has become one of the key
problems for the continued survival
and prosperity of society in the future.
Increasing air and water pollution,
coupled with unusual weather phenomena,
are creating serious threats to human
lives.

In Korea, it has also become more difficult
to develop new water resources due to the
decline of appropriate sites for dam construction
and the increasing voice of environmentalists.
It is necessary to educate the public to create
a better understanding of water resources
and the crises we face. Now the roles and
responsibilities of KNCOLD have became more
valuable than ever before as we face this
new millenium, the "Age of Water"
with its emphasis on humanity and our coexistence
with the nature.
We'll try our best to find fundamental
solutions to water problems, to realize
"WATOPIA", focusing on both quantity
and quality of water resources while developing
water resources in a more eco-friendly way.
We will also pursue eco-friendly water policies
and new technologies; a paradigm shift towards
a new water policy of environmentally sound
and sustainable development, and an integrated
management of water resources. This may
only be reached through ceaseless research
and development, as well as by the cooperative
and dedicated efforts from all KNCOLD members,
people that are the most active specialists
in their respective fields.
KNCOLD welcomes your visit to our homepage
and encourages your active participation
in exchanging and sharing knowledge and
experience concerning dams through our homepage.
