South Korea’s Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the complete opening of the Goesan Dam’s spillways starting August 21st, continuing until September 20th. This action is a preventative measure to mitigate potential flood damage downstream. Consequently, power generation at the dam will be entirely suspended during this period. KHNP is urging residents living near the Goesan Dam to exercise extreme caution and prioritize their safety. The decision follows concerns about rising water levels and potential heavy rainfall. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as needed to ensure public safety and minimize disruption. This full spillway release aims to manage water flow and reduce the risk of flooding in downstream areas.
