UNKRA's Irrigation Program in Korea
Caption Description
The specialists who came to Korea, after the war, with the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), were faced with many problems. Among them was that of restoring the irrigation systems and devising new and speed methods of land reclamation. After a comprehensive survey by a combined Food and Agriculture and UNKRA team in 1952, UNKRA allocated 1.5 million dollars to buy materials to start an irrigation program. In the following year some $780,000 were allocated for building dams and weirs and pumping stations and $700,000 for flood control. To date, some 12 to 15 weirs have been built and building materials provided for some 36 pumping stations. Some one hundred UNKRA irrigation projects have already been completed, representing 60,000 more acres of rice yielding land.
This photograph shows a dam in process of construction. It divides the valley into two sections. One section will be flooded to provide a water storage point for irrigating the other half of the valley. [No exact date]
