With recent successive rains in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions, a long drought is gradually improving. The water storage rate of Donam Reservoir has risen from 0% to 13.3%, and the worries of farmers awaiting harvest have also been considerably eased. However, there are farmhouses that have suffered crop damage due to the prolonged drought or have abandoned harvests, so the scars of the drought still remain. Unmun Dam, the only one of the nation's 12 reservoirs for irrigation that is in the 'critical' stage, has risen slightly to 26.7%, and it is expected that rain will continue in the future.
