Kwangju and Seoul Sewerage Project

closed

The project is a logical continuation of the Bank's ongoing support of government programs to improve the water supply and sewerage sector, which includes protecting the national water courses. The project will reduce pollution in two major rivers the Yongsan and the Han, by expanding wastewater treatment facilities in Kwangju, the nation's fifth largest city. It will also support institutional development for wastewater management in the two cities and promote innovative technological and policy initiatives to conserve water. The Kwangju component also includes a pumping station and about 36 km of interceptors.
