South Korea’s government spent 20 billion dollar to restore 4 major rivers in order to protect, and the government try to secure fresh water and protect the flood problem. The protecting 4 rivers are the Nakdong River in the southeast; the Yeongsan River in the southwest, the Geum River in the west, and the Han River in the northwest. They planned to build 20 more dams and make the river longer than usual about 700 kilometer without any benefits. President Lee Myung-bak's determination is showed by Sunday's Cabinet reshuffle to finish the controversial project as Environment Minister Lee Maa-nee and Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs Minister Chung Jong-hwan kept their posts. According to the controversial project, there are many people argue and disagree on it. Jang Soon jae, a spokesman for the Prime Minister's office told ENS want everyone to calm down because there are a lot of misinformation out there, he warned people to not believe the rumor
I think government should decide to do something to stop the argument because the argument will slow down the project. I think it is a good idea to build more dams and refresh the river because it will make people feel safe.
