Gyeongnam Governor Park Wan-soo issued a special directive on the 23rd to strengthen the management of tap water quality. This action comes in response to an upgraded algae alert for the Nakdong River. The governor emphasized the need for rigorous monitoring to ensure the safety of the water supply. Local authorities are now tasked with enhancing filtration and quality control processes. The move aims to prevent potential health risks associated with increased algal blooms. These measures are intended to maintain a stable and safe water supply for residents. The provincial government remains vigilant as environmental conditions in the river fluctuate.
