While focusing on securing water resources, Unryul, Unchon and Anak counties in South Hwanghae Province are watering a large area of fields every day by concentrating manpower and vehicles on the areas and units vulnerable to drought.

In Kangryong and Ongjin counties with a large area of wheat and barley fields are allocating sprinklers, mobile pumps and others in a rational way and timely resolving the problems, while ensuring full-capacity operation of irrigation facilities.
