For over a year, Korean environmental activists have been successfully campaigning to protect the Tong River from destruction. Through their efforts, construction of the 98m Yongwol Dam was suspended for the last year. But, they still need your help. Please send an email to Korean officials voicing your opposition to this project.
More detailed information follows.
Thanks for your help. The Tong River is a 51 km stretch of river that runs through a unique limestone karst region before flowing into the South Han River, source of drinking water for the 20 million people of Greater Seoul. The Tong River's small size belies its international, ecological, and cultural significance. The Tong River runs through Yongwol in northeast South Korea, with an annual waterflow of 1,337,300,000 tons. The watershed encompasses an area of 2,267 square km.
