Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reviews the water policies and institutions for water management in the Republic of Korea over a 50-year period during which the country developed from a war-torn nation into one of the 10 largest economies in the world. The Republic of Korea's water policy commenced in the form of comprehensive water resources development projects starting with basin investigations in the 1960s after the Korean War. The comprehensive development projects included large-scale dams and water control projects in major rivers in the 1970s and 1980s. The concept of eco-friendly water resources management was born in the 1990s, and the focus on water supply and/or control moved to sustainable water management including stream environment preservation in the 2000s. Since 2010, the policy has focused on coping with climate change and advancing the water management system. The paper provides lessons for developing countries that otherwise prioritize investment in roads, transportation, communication, and electricity ahead of water. The experience of the Republic Korea shows that water should also be regarded as a necessity both for the citizens' daily lives and industrial activities.

Book excerpt: The aim of the study is to investigate how Korean water resources management policy has evolved in the last two decades of the twentieth century. Environmentally considerate and sustainable priorities emerged as a serious challenge to the development priorities of water resources policy makers. The challenge was particularly strong in the water sector where water management professionals and civil engineers have dominated and continue to dominate Korean water policy-making. The study will trace how public concern for the services provided by the environment gradually gained prominence and support. A number of active campaigns and demonstrations were mounted in Korea during the 1990s, with a view to foregrounding environmental priorities in the water sector. These campaigns have been coordinated by national environmental NGOs. Two case studies are presented to show how major infrastructure projects have provoked anti-dam campaigns in Korea. In the Yong-wol region between 1998 and 2000 evidence emerged of the influence that environmental activists were having on civil society. The nature of the civil transformation is analysed and how it impacted the government's dam construction policy-making processes. Secondly, the impact of typhoon Rusa in August 2002 is reviewed, to provide evidence of the new directions adopted on flood control. It will be shown that the engineering-oriented approach shifted to take into account non-structural and environmental priorities. The ideas of environmental activists moved the public discourse in the media and in civil society more generally. The importance of the environmental services provided by water resources was also gradually reflected in the discourse amongst water professionals in government institutions.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report, building on a policy dialogue with a range of stakeholders in Korea, analyses how economic policy instruments under the responsibility of the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport can be adjusted to contribute to water policy objectives. It also investigates how Smart Water Management Korea, an initiative by K-water that combines information and communication technology with water technology, can be harnessed to better contribute to water management in the country. Finally, it identifies some of the limitations of prevalent water allocation regimes which need to be addressed to make the best use of available water resources. Since 1965, the Korean Government has invested heavily in quantitative development strategies to meet water needs, and despite highly variable water availability, this has allowed for and facilitated rapid urbanisation and economic growth. However, several long-term trends are expected to affect the capacity of the current water management system to adequately respond to current and future water risks, such as rapid ageing of the population, fiscal consolidation and climate change. These call for a renewed emphasis on water use efficiency.

Book Synopsis Comparative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Decisional Change by : Jinsuhk Suh
Download or read book Comparative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Decisional Change written by Jinsuhk Suh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some scholars contend that Korean water policy processes are shifting from a highly centralized manner to a more locally devolved one. Over the decades observers have cited major drivers of South Korea's national water policy reform: 1) Economic growth, 2) Political change, 3) Social change, 4) Environmental change, 5) Technological advance, and 6) International pressure. However, these influences may not be fully sufficient to explain demands for further decisional change in local communities because most policy decisions and processes are still controlled and managed by central government organizations. We still have limited understanding of what specific factors are most influential in the process of decisional change, how they are related to drivers of water policy conflicts in the context of South Korea, and how this decisional change may affect national water policy decisions. Studies of decisional change and its major causes have been underexplored in the recent large water projects. This study looks at the process of agenda-setting to explore to answer the research question. The dataset includes archival documents, participant observations, and interviews with 36 key informants and 5 local ENGOs and CBOs. This study analyzes these data within cases and across cases to answer the question. A comparative case study research design is employed to analyze three large water projects which have been changed from their original plans. This study found that five potentially influential factors were evident in the process of decisional change; 1) stakeholder groups, especially competing pro- and anti-development groups, 2) professional experts, 3) mass media coverage, 4) politicians' self-interest, and 5) resource dependence. This study informs policy scholars, social scientists, practitioners, and policy-makers who seek to establish sustainable environmental policies and understand the factors that lead the government to change policies toward sustainable use of water resource. Also, it helps understand the progress of South Korea's water governance by suggesting a more collaborative process that promotes global sustainability. Therefore, this study is relevant to environmental policy processes that other newly democratized and developing countries go through in deciding to modify their original development policies related to their resources in response to environmental NGOs' actions.
Book Synopsis OECD Studies on Water Water Financing and Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia Highlights of a National Dialogue on Water by : OECD
Download or read book OECD Studies on Water Water Financing and Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia Highlights of a National Dialogue on Water written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the policy recommendations resulting from the National Dialogue on Water in Indonesia, which took place between June 2022 and March 2023. Getting water resources management right, underpinned with appropriate financing mechanisms, is a prerequisite for realising Indonesia’s ambitious national economic growth agenda to become one of the top five global economies by 2045. The Dialogue, therefore, centred around two priority areas: 1) financing water infrastructure and 2) non-structural measures for flood disaster risk reduction. The report explores several instruments to enhance the financing of water services in Indonesia, such as the advantages and disadvantages of uniform water tariffs, independent economic regulation, pollution charges and demand management instruments. The report recommends the utilisation of land value capture as an additional source of financing. It also explores how water information systems for disaster response, flood forecasting and early warning can reduce flood disaster risk. The National Dialogue on Water in Indonesia is part of a regional initiative with the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea, the Asia Water Council and the OECD.

Download or read book Water written by Giulio Boccaletti and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning millennia and continents, a revealing history that “tackles the most important story of our time: our relationship with water in a world of looming scarcity” (Kelly McEvers, NPR Host). "Far more than a biography of its nominal subject ... The book stands as a compelling history of civilization itself." —The Wall Street Journal Book Review Writing with authority and brio, Giulio Boccaletti—honorary research associate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford—shrewdly combines environmental and social history, beginning with the earliest civilizations of sedentary farmers on the banks of the Nile, the Tigris, and the Euphrates Rivers. Even as he describes how these societies were made possible by sea-level changes from the last glacial melt, he incisively examines how this type of farming led to irrigation and multiple cropping, which, in turn, led to a population explosion and labor specialization. We see with clarity how irrigation’s structure informed social structure (inventions such as the calendar sprung from agricultural necessity); how in ancient Greece, the communal ownership of wells laid the groundwork for democracy; how the Greek and Roman experiences with water security resulted in systems of taxation; and how the modern world as we know it began with a legal framework for the development of water infrastructure. Extraordinary for its monumental scope and piercing insightfulness, Water: A Biography richly enlarges our understanding of our relationship to—and fundamental reliance on—the most elemental substance on earth.
