The four major river regions will be transformed into areas showing our history of challenge, victory, and freedom. People will visit the areas to take a rest, and the rivers will be much safer. Moreover, people will learn to co-exist with the nature for future growth, and the renewed areas will provide new opportunities for our future generations.
- Restoration of the four major rivers

- Early implementation of the Kyungin (Seoul-Incheon) Canal project
- MLTM will connect the existing 14.2 km of Gulpo Stream floodway with a new 3.8 km of waterway toward the Han River and create a 18 km-long main canal.
- The floodway will be utilized as a canal to prevent repeated flooding of the Gulpo Stream area. The river and the ocean will be connected to create diverse synergy effects in culture, tourism, and leisure industries.
- Resolving the water problem of Gyeongnam Province and Busan area
- MLTM will prevent floods near Nam River and secure water resources.
- Gyeongnam Province, Busan, and Ulsan areas will be provided with clean water.
- Securing stable supply of water
- We will secure new water sources and improve water management systems to respond to global warming and water scarcity in the future.
- New dams will be built and old agricultural reservoirs will be strengthened to secure adequate supply of water. Water management systems will become more efficient by establishing the water supply system by zones that will divert excess metropolitan water supply to areas facing water shortage.
