Published
The Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) received an innovation award at the Smart City Expo held in Spain. The event is an international gathering that showcases ways to solve urban problems through technology, with companies and institutions from many countries taking part.
K-water is a public institution in Korea that operates and manages water-related facilities such as dams, waterworks, and sewage systems. Recently, it has devoted considerable effort to smart water management, which uses information and communication technology to manage water more efficiently. This award is also being regarded as a result of such technological development.
A smart city refers to a city that uses information and technology to make various aspects of urban life, such as transportation, energy, and the environment, more convenient. Because water is an essential resource for city life, technology that manages water without waste plays an important role in smart cities. Experts believe that the need for such technology is growing as water problems increase due to climate change.
K-water has said that, following this award, it plans to expand cooperation with cities overseas. Drawing on its water management experience in Korea, it intends to help address water problems in other countries as well. Attention is growing on how smart water management technology will be used at home and abroad in the future.
