1 SHARING THE EXPERIENCES IN MODERNIZATION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN KOREA KOREA RURAL COMMUNITY CORPORATION Korea Rural Community Corporation(KRC) Is A Public Enterprise Under The Korean Government ESTABLISHED IN 1908 ESTABLISHED IN 1971 ESTABLISHED IN 1935 POPULATION IN THE WORLD Today Year BILLION 9.1 BILLION POPULATION GROWTH RATE 23% Food consumption to be much increased KRC has 110 years of history Securing additional agricultural water resource is more essential than ever. 1

2 WATER SHORTAGE Due to the climate change LACK OF MAN POWER Due to the rural population decrease It makes modernized water resources development, utilization and management even more important. THE NECESSITY of MODERNIZATION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS national economic growth quality of lives in rural communities The water loss rate of lined irrigation canal is 11.5% lower than earthen canal. * source : KREI (Korea Rural Economy Institute) 2

3 SHARING EXPERIENCES of KOREA THREE KEY TOPICS 1. Cooperative relationship between the Korean government and KRC 2. Harmonization between Irrigation technology development and field application 1. Cooperative relationship between the Korean government and KRC 3. Securing stable funds for O&M and modernization of irrigation systems 3

4 Continuous negotiation and cooperation in a comprehensive way between the Korean Government and KRC Agricultural and rural water resources development Irrigation facilities rehabilitation and modernization Farmland consolidation Before Drainage Canal Drainage Pump After Drainage Pumping Station 4

5 Large-scale tidal land reclamation KRC structurized 48% of the irrigation and drainage canals from 1960 to present. KRC UNIT : Thousand km LOCAL GOVERNMENT SAE MAN GEUM SEA DIKE SOURCE : Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural affairs 2. Harmonization between Irrigation technology development and field application TECHNOLOGE DEVELOPEMENT KRC has been investing a lot of budget in Research and Development through Rural Research Institute, affiliation of KRC (Yearly 30 million USD) 5

6 MAIN FIELDS of irrigation modernization project 2. ICT based smart water management 1. Irrigation facilities rehabilitation Total budget : 414 million USD Automation-equipped area Total budget : 12.9 Billion USD No of Facilities BY '17 AFTER '18 SOURCE : KRC BUSINESS REORGANIZATION T/F REPORT BY '17 AFTER '18 SOURCE : KRC BUSINESS REORGANIZATION T/F REPORT 3. Flood control to cope with climate change Budget : 199 million USD No. of projects BY '17 AFTER '18 YE-DANG RESERVOIR SPILLWAY EXPANSION PROJECT 6

7 4. Integrated irrigation systems through river basin inter-link for complementary irrigation (Total budget : 302 million USD, Beneficial area : 6,300ha) DAM 1 DAM 2 RIVER CONNECTING PUMPING CANAL Supply Decreased Supply Increased 3. Securing stable funds for O&M and modernization of irrigation systems Beneficial area Decreased area by civilization Beneficial area Additional Supply area Serious drought Caused by climate change Operation of temporary pumping stations Increasing maintenance costs Financial burden for KRC 3,394 reservoirs under KRC s management recorded only 48% of total storage capacity 7

8 O&M BUDGET OF KRC : 304 million USD O&M Budget of KRC (million USD) KRC (56%) 304 Gov. (44%) Korea "renewable energy 3020 policy RENEWABLE ENERGY RATIO RENEWABLE ENERGY CAPACITY SOURCE : KRC BUSINESS REORGANIZATION T/F REPORT MORE THAN 96% OF NEW FACILITIES WILL BE GENERATING GREEN ENERGY INCLUDING SOLAR AND WIND POWER IN YEAR Large-scale solar power generation plants on idle land, water surface of reclaimed lakes and reservoirs Renewable energy development Master plan of KRC (total 40 GW) R/E Development Plan of KRC (GW) SOURCE : 2018 KRC RENEWABLE ENERGY MASTER PLAN 8
