Large scale Multi-purpose Dams provide water supply. flood control and power generation to downstream areas, but they also can have a negative effect on the surrounding areas. Therefore, Dam facilities are constructed in an environment friendly manner starting with project inception and continuously during operations. As well, improvement projects are conducted that will help improve standard of living in dam area for residents and visitors. A dditionally, after completing the construction, a regular portion of the income from dam operation is used for support projects that are conducted to increase the income level of local residents and to promote social welfare improvements in the area surrounding the dam. Moreover, as KOWACO conducts many projects aiding the development of the dam area and carried out proper maintenance, effort is also made to decrease any negative effects that may be a result of dam operations. This paper introduces the scope of support and improvement projects conducted through revision of related law and regulation. As well, it considers the all aspects concerned with Korean dam areas using instances of construction of environmentally friendly design. We also examine environmental improvement projects at existing facilities and cases of improving dam operations and damage mitigation. |
