Short description │
Engineering Study - Yeongam River
Korea Yeongsan river Estuary Embankment, development section 3. It concerns flood prevention by
means of distributing flood discharge from Yeongsan Lake to Yeongam Lake.
A new navigable channel is being built between the lower reaches of the Yeongsan and Yeongam
rivers in South Korea as part of an extensive regeneration scheme. The northern lake (Yeongsan Lake)
contains fresh water and the southern lake (Yeongam Lake) contains brackish (slightly salty) water.
Water from Yeongam Lake is being used for irrigation purposes. To control the water flow a number of
weirs are built in this new channel.
