Gangneung experienced severe drought last summer, leading to water restrictions and significant hardships for residents. The water level at Obong Reservoir reached its lowest point, resulting in a shortage of agricultural water that forced some farmers to abandon their crops. This drought in Gyeongsangnam-do brings back memories of the struggles Gangneung citizens faced last year. They hope to maintain water conservation habits and empathize with the drought situation in other regions, offering support based on their experiences. The Gangneung drought highlights the need for long-term solutions such as securing stable water sources and establishing water storage facilities.
