KOREA’S
ENVIRONMENT:
  Problems and Solutions
HOW THEY USE THEIR
  ENVIRONMENT:
  They use rivers and
   waterways to make
   dams for water and
  electricity. The three
     major dams are
   Hwanggang Dam,
   Imnam Dam, and
     Nampho Dam


   Republic of Korea lost   Rice is the most important
   an average of 7,100      crop in South Korea. Rice
   hectares of forest per   represented about 90
   year. That amounts to    percent of total grain
   an average yearly        production and over 40
   deforestation rate of    percent of farm income;
   0.11%.                   the 1988 rice crop was 6.5
                            million tons.
KOREA’S ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:


  Korea's inhabitants have
 cut down most of the
ancient Korean forests. This
 has been a major cause of
  soil erosion and flooding.

                             Air pollution is a serious concern,
                           particularly in major cities, because
                          more than 80 percent of all South
                         Koreans live in urban areas. Other issues
                         include water pollution from sewer
                          discharge and industrial effluents, acid
                           rain, drift net fishing, and wasteful
                             packaging of consumer goods.
