Gangneung City is facing a critical situation, as the prolonged drought has caused a sharp decline in the water level of Obong Reservoir, the city’s main water source. The damage is so severe that the government has declared a disaster situation, making urgent support necessary to stabilize residents’ lives and restore the local economy.
An official from the association stated, “We hope that the citizens of Gangneung will overcome the difficulties caused by the drought as soon as possible,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen solidarity and cooperation among local governments in times of disaster and crisis.”
Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Province Mayors and County Governors Association is a consultative body composed of the heads of 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province, carrying out various activities to promote balanced regional development and strengthen local autonomy through mutual exchange and cooperation.
