Кіріспе
Оңтүстік Корея Шығыс Азияда, Азия құрлығының қашық шығысында орналасқан Корея түбегінің оңтүстік бөлігінде жатыр. Оңтүстік Кореямен құрлықтағы шекарасы бар жалғыз ел – Солтүстік Корея, ол Кореяның демилитаризацияланған аймағы бойымен өтетін шекарадан солтүстікке қарай орналасқан. Оңтүстік Корея көбінесе сумен қоршалған және үш теңіз бойында жағалауға ие: батысында Сары теңіз (Сохэ хангул=서해; Оңтүстік Кореяда, сөзбе-сөз «батыс теңізі»), оңтүстігінде Шығыс Қытай теңізі, ал шығысында Жапон теңізі (Донхэ хангул=동해; Оңтүстік Кореяда, сөзбе-сөз «шығыс теңізі»). Географиялық тұрғыдан алғанда, Оңтүстік Кореяның құрлық ауданы шамамен Оңтүстік Корея аумағының бір бөлігін су алып жатыр. Шамамен координаталары – 37° солтүстік ендік, 128° шығыс бойлық.

South Korea is located in East Asia, on the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula located out from the far east of the Asian landmass. The only country with a land border to South Korea is North Korea, lying to the north with of the border running along the Korean Demilitarized Zone. South Korea is mostly surrounded by water and has of coast line along three seas; to the west is the Yellow Sea (called Sohae hangul=서해; in South Korea, literally means west sea), to the south is the East China Sea, and to the east is the Sea of Japan (called Donghae hangul=동해; in South Korea, literally means east sea). Geographically, South Korea's landmass is approximately of South Korea are occupied by water. The approximate coordinates are 37° North, 128° East.
Жер көлемі мен шекаралары
Корея түбегі Азия құрлығының солтүстік-шығысынан оңтүстікке қарай созылып жатыр. Жапонның Хонсю және Кюсю аралдары Корея бұғазы арқылы оңтүстік-шығысқа қарай шамамен 200 км (124 миль) қашықтықта орналасқан. Қытайдың Шандун түбегі батысқа қарай 190 километр жерде жатыр. Түбектың батыс жағалауы солтүстікте Корея шығанағымен, оңтүстікте Сары теңіз және Корея бұғазымен шектеседі, ал шығыс жағалауы Жапон теңізімен шектеседі. 8640 километрлік жағалау сызығы өте икемді. Түбекке жақын 3579 арал орналасқан, олардың көпшілігі оңтүстік және батыс жағалауларында шоғырланған. Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыстан кейін және 1950 жылдың 25 маусымына дейін екі Корея мемлекетін бөліп тұрған шекара – 38-ші ендік параллель болды. Корея соғысынан кейін Кореяның демилитаризацияланған аймағы (ДМЗ) екі елдің арасындағы шекараны құрады. ДМЗ – қарулы күштерді тоқтату туралы келісімде белгіленген демаркациялық сызық бойымен шығыстан батысқа қарай 241 километрге (соның ішінде Солтүстік Кореямен құрлықтағы шекарадан 238 километрі) созылған, қатаң күзетілетін, 4000 метр ені бар жер тілкесі. Түбек пен аралдарды қоса алғандағы жалпы жер аумағы 223 170 шаршы километрді құрайды. Осы аумақтың шамамен 44,8 пайызы (100 210 шаршы километр), ДМЗ аумағын есептемегенде, Корея Республикасының аумағын құрайды. Солтүстік және Оңтүстік Кореяның аумақтарының жалпы көлемі шамамен Ұлыбритания аумағымен тең. Оңтүстік Кореяның аумағы Португалия, Венгрия немесе АҚШ-тың Индиана штаты сияқты. Ең ірі арал – Чеджу провинциясы, түбектің оңтүстік-батыс бұрышында орналасқан және 1825 шаршы километр жерді алып жатыр. Басқа маңызды аралдарға Жапон теңізіндегі Уллын және Лианкур тасты аралдары, сондай-ақ Хан өзенінің сағасындағы Канхва аралы жатады. Оңтүстік Кореяның шығыс жағалауы көбінесе тік болмаса, оңтүстік және батыс жағалаулары тіреулі және бейбіршіл. Бұл айырмашылықтың себебі – шығыс жағалаудың біртіндеп көтерілуіне, ал оңтүстік және батыс жағалаулардың төмендеуіне байланысты.
The Korean Peninsula extends southward from the northeast part of the Asian continental landmass. The Japanese islands of Honshū and Kyūshū are located some 200 km (124 mi) to the southeast across the Korea Strait; the Shandong Peninsula of China lies 190 kilometers to the west. The west coast of the peninsula is bordered by the Korea Bay to the north and the Yellow Sea and Korea Strait to the south; the east coast is bordered by the Sea of Japan. The 8,640 kilometer coastline is highly indented. Some 3,579 islands lie adjacent to the peninsula. Most of them are found along the south and west coasts. After World War II and before June 25, 1950, the line between the two Korean states was the thirty eighth parallel of latitude. After the Korean War, the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) formed the boundary between the two. The DMZ is a heavily guarded, 4,000 meter wide strip of land that runs along the demarcation line established by the Korean Armistice Agreement from the east to the west coasts for a distance of 241 kilometers (238 kilometers of that line from the land boundary with North Korea). The total land area of the peninsula, including the islands, is 223,170 square kilometers. Some 44.8 percent (100 210 square kilometers) of this total, excluding the area within the DMZ, constitutes the territory of the Republic of Korea. The combined territories of North Korea and South Korea are about the same size as the United Kingdom. South Korea alone is about the size of Portugal or Hungary, or the U. S. state of Indiana. The largest island, Jeju Province, lies off the southwest corner of the peninsula and has a land area of 1,825 square kilometers. Other important islands include Ulleung and Liancourt Rocks in the Sea of Japan and Ganghwa Island at the mouth of the Han River. Although the eastern coastline of South Korea is generally unindented, the southern and western coasts are jagged and irregular. The difference is caused by the fact that the eastern coast is gradually rising, while the southern and western coasts are subsiding.
Топография және дренаж
Кореяға келген алғашқы еуропалық саяхатшылар елдің "қатты дауылдағы теңіздей" көрінетінін айтты, себебі мұнда көптеген тау тізбектерінің қатарынан келуіне байланысты. Оңтүстік Кореядағы ең биік тау шыңы – Халласан, ол Жеджу аралын құрайтын жанартаулық құрылымның конусы болып табылады. Оңтүстік Кореяда екі ірі тау жотасы бар: Тэбэк таулары және Собэк таулары. Жапония және Қытайдың солтүстік провинцияларынан өзгеше, Корея түбегі геологиялық тұрғыдан тұрақты. Белсенді жанартаулар жоқ (Солтүстік Корея мен Қытай шекарасындағы Бэкду тауынан басқа, ол соңғы рет 1903 жылы белсенді болған), және күшті жер сілкіністері де болған емес. Дегенмен, тарихи жазбаларда Горео дәуірінде Халла тауындағы жанартаулық әрекеттер сипатталған. Кореяның шамамен 30 пайызы жазықтардан тұрады, ал қалғаны – жоталар мен таулардан. Жазықтардың көп бөлігі жағалау бойында, әсіресе батыс жағалауда және ірі өзендердің жанында орналасқан. Ең маңызды жазықтар: Сеул маңындағы Хан өзені жазығы, Сеулдің оңтүстік-батысындағы Пхёнтхэк жағалау жазығы, Гым өзенінің алабы, Нактон өзенінің алабы, оңтүстік-батыстағы Йонгсан өзені мен Хонам жазығы. Шығыс жағалау бойында тар жағалау жазығы созылып жатыр. Жақында жасалған жаһандық қашықтан сезіктіру талдауы Оңтүстік Кореяда 1833 км² су тасқыны бар екенін көрсетті, бұл елді осы көрсеткіш бойынша 17-орынға қойды. Нактон – Оңтүстік Кореяның ең ұзын өзені. Сеул қаласынан өтетін Хан өзенінің ұзындығы алты жүз шақырымға жуық, ал Гым өзенінің ұзындығы да шамалы. Басқа ірі өзендерге Солтүстік және Оңтүстік Корея арқылы ағып, Хан өзенімен бірге құятын Имджин өзені, Хан өзенінің саласы болып табылатын және Солтүстік Кореядан бастау алатын Бухан өзені, сондай-ақ Сомджин өзені жатады. Негізгі өзендер солтүстіктен оңтүстікке немесе шығыстан батысқа қарай ағып, Сары теңізге немесе Корея бұғазына құяды. Олар көбінесе кең және терең емес, су деңгейі маусымға қарай өзгереді. 20 ғасырдың басында, әсіресе Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыс және Корея соғысы кезінде және одан кейін Кореяның көптеген ормандық алқаптары кесілді, бұл су тасқыны мен топырақ эрозиясына әкелді. Орманды қайта жаңарту жөніндегі күш-жігер (мысалы, 1949 жылдан бастап Арбор күні ұлттық мереке ретінде тойланды) және отынды энергия көзі ретінде пайдалануды азайтуға бағытталған шаралар (мысалы, 1958 жылдан бастап Сеул және басқа да ірі қалаларға отын әкелуге шектеу қойылды) 1950 жылдары орманды қалпына келтіруге көмектесті. 1970 жылдары басталған және 1990 жылдардың соңына дейін жалғасқан кең ауқымды орманды қайта жаңарту бағдарламалары орман көлемін арттыруды жеделдетті, ал орман жамылғысы 1955 жылы 35% болғаннан кейін 1980 жылы елдің жер аумағының 65% -ына жетті.
Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s. Comprehensive reforestation programs starting in the 1970s and continuing into the late 1990s aided in an acceleration of forest volume increase, and the forest cover reached a peak of 65% of national land area in 1980 as opposed to a low of 35% in 1955.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s. Comprehensive reforestation programs starting in the 1970s and continuing into the late 1990s aided in an acceleration of forest volume increase, and the forest cover reached a peak of 65% of national land area in 1980 as opposed to a low of 35% in 1955.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion.

Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s. Comprehensive reforestation programs starting in the 1970s and continuing into the late 1990s aided in an acceleration of forest volume increase, and the forest cover reached a peak of 65% of national land area in 1980 as opposed to a low of 35% in 1955.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes. Historical records, however, describe volcanic activity on Mount Halla during the Goryeo Dynasty (no having kissits lowlands are the product of mountain erosion. Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers. The most important lowlands are the Han River plain around Seoul, the Pyeongtaek coastal plain southwest of Seoul, the Geum River basin, the Nakdong River basin, and the Yeongsan River and the Honam plains in the southwest. A narrow littoral plain extends along the east coast. A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 1,833 km2 of tidal flats in South Korea, making it the 17th ranking country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. The Nakdong is South Korea's longest river The Han River, which flows through Seoul, is long, and the Geum River is long. Other major rivers include the Imjin, which flows through both North Korea and South Korea and forms an estuary with the Han River; the Bukhan, a tributary of the Han that also flows out of North Korea; and the Somjin. The major rivers flow north to south or east to west and empty into the Yellow Sea or the Korea Strait. They tend to be broad and shallow and to have wide seasonal variations in water flow. In the early part of the 20th century and especially the period during and after World War II and the Korean War, much of the existing Korean forests were cut down, which led to problems with flooding and soil erosion. Combination of reforestation efforts (e. g. Arbor day was celebrated as a national holiday starting in 1949) and policies designed to reduce the use of firewood as a source of energy (e. g. restriction of inflow of firewood into Seoul and other major cities starting in 1958) helped to spark a recovery in the 1950s.

Approximately 30 percent of the area of South Korea consists of lowlands, with the rest consisting of uplands and mountains. The great majority of the lowland area lies along the coasts, particularly the west coast, and along the major rivers.

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the land resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the large number of successive mountain ranges. The highest mountain peak in South Korea is Hallasan , which is the cone of a volcanic formation constituting Jeju Island. There are two major mountain ranges within South Korea: the Taebaek Mountains, and the Sobaek Mountains. Unlike Japan or the northern provinces of China, the Korean Peninsula is geologically stable. There are no active volcanoes (aside from Baekdu Mountain on the border between North Korea and China, most recently active in 1903), and there have been no strong earthquakes.

Жаңбырлы маусым
Оңтүстік Кореяның жаңбырлы маусымы – жазда немесе жаңбырлы маусымда бірнеше күн бойы үзіліссіз жаңбыр жауатын құбылыс, ауа райы немесе жаңбырдың өзі. Орташа есеппен жаңбырлы маусым 30-35 күнге созылады, бірақ бұл кезеңде үздіксіз жаңбыр жаумайды. Шындығында, шамамен 15-20 күн жаңбыр жауады, ал оның ішінде тұрақтанған фронттың салдарынан 12-16 күн ғана жауады. Дегенмен, жаңбырлы маусым жылдан жылға өзгереді. Жаңбырлы маусым – Корея Республикасының ішінде Шығыс Азия елдерінің жазғы ауа райының типік белгісі. Корея түбегіндегі жауын-шашынның 30%-дан астамын осы маусым құрайды. Сондықтан кейбір адамдар жаңбырлы маусымды «бесінші маусым» деп атайды. Әдетте, бұл кенеттен басталып, содан кейін тоқтап қалатын құйылыс жаңбыр түрінде болады. Әсіресе, соңғы жаңбырлы маусым «түндегі жаңбырлы маусым» деп аталады, ол көбінесе күндіз тынығумен, ал түнде жергілікті қатты жаңбырмен сипатталады. Бұлтты күндері күндіз жердің орнына жоғарғы қабат қызуы мүмкін, ал түнде бұлттар төменгі қабаттың жылуын ұстап, жоғарғы қабатты салқындатады, нәтижесінде конвекция пайда болады. Шындығында, жауын-шашынның көп бөлігі, 55%-ы түнде жауады. Орыстың солтүстік жағалауындағы Охот теңізінің суық және ылғалды ауа массасы мен Огасавара аралдары маңындағы Солтүстік Тынық мұхитының ыстық және ылғалды ауа массасы арасында айқын фронт қалыптасады, осының нәтижесінде жаңбырлы маусым пайда болады. Алайда, Корея түбегінде жаңбырлы маусымды Охот теңізінің ауа массасы ғана емес, сонымен қатар суық және құрғақ Сібір ауа массасы да қамтамасыз етеді. Жаңбырлы маусымның тағы бір себебі – Беринг теңізі мен Тибет жотасы. Нақтырақ айтқанда, жоғары қысымның қалыптасу жылдамдығы Беринг теңізіндегі мұздың мөлшеріне және Тибет жотасында жиналған қардың мөлшеріне байланысты өзгереді, себебі жаңбырлы маусым Корея түбегінің солтүстігіндегі және оңтүстігіндегі әрбір жоғары қысымның қозғалу жылдамдығымен басталады. Осы себепті жаңбырлы маусымдар шетелде Шығыс Азияның маусымдық жел климатының бір түрі ретінде қарастырылады. Үндістандағы жаһандық жылынудың салдарынан климаттың күрт өзгеруіне байланысты сәуірдің ортасынан бастап күндізгі температура 32 градусқа, ал сәуірдің соңында 39 градусқа дейін көтерілді, нәтижесінде жаздың ортасындағы қатты ыстық толқын осы жылдың маусым айының басында Кореяға да келді. 2022 жылы Корея метеорологиялық басқармасының басшысы соңғы қатты жаңбырды болжау мүмкін емес екенін және «жаңбырлы маусым» терминінің қазіргі уақытта қолданылмайтын сияқты екенін атап өтті.
The rainy season of South Korea refers to a phenomenon in which it rains continuously for several days in summer or rainy season, or the weather, or the rain itself. On average, the rainy season is 30 to 35 days, but it does not continue to rain during this period. In fact, it rains for about 15 to 20 days, and among them, it falls only for about 12 to 16 days due to the stagnant front. However, the rainy season varies greatly from year to year. The rainy season is a representative summer weather in East Asian countries, including the Republic of Korea, and accounts for more than 30% of the precipitation on the Korean Peninsula. For this reason, some call the rainy season the "fifth season." It is usually a form of torrential rain that pours suddenly and then stops. In particular, the recent rainy season is referred to as a "nocturnal rainy season," and it is often in the form of a lull during the day, and local heavy rain pouring down at night. In the case of cloudy days, the upper layer may be heated rather than the ground during the day, and at night, the clouds trap the heat of the lower layer while the upper layer cools, so convection develops. In fact, considering that showers come during the day, nights account for a high percentage of 55%. A distinct congestion front is created between the cold and humid Okhotsk Sea air mass located on the northern Russian coast and the hot and humid North Pacific air mass near the Ogasawara Islands, resulting in a rainy season. However, in the case of the Korean Peninsula, not only the Okhotsk Sea air mass but also the cold and dry Siberian air mass contributes to the rainy season. Another cause of the rainy season is said to be the Bering Sea and the Tibetan Plateau. To be exact, the speed of high pressure formation varies depending on the amount of ice in the Bering Sea and the amount of snow accumulated in the Tibetan Plateau, as the rainy season begins with the speed at which each high pressure in the north and south of the Korean Peninsula moves. For this reason, rainy seasons are regarded as a kind of East Asian seasonal wind climate abroad. Due to severe climate change caused by global warming in India, daytime temperatures have risen to 32 degrees Celsius since mid April and 39 degrees in late April, resulting in a strong heat wave in mid summer, which also hit Korea in early June this year. The head of the Korea Meteorological Administration pointed out in 2022 that it was impossible to predict the recent heavy rain, and that the traditional expression of "rainy season" now seems to have expired.
Сары шаң
Азия шаңы, Кореяда сары шаң деп аталады, бұл Қытайдың шөлді аймақтары арқылы төмен қысым жүргенде, күшті жел мен жер бедеріне байланысты көп мөлшердегі сары шаң ауада таралып, немесе қозғалыс кезінде Кореяға әсер етеді. Сары шаң Қытай мен Моңғолияның шөлді аймақтарында пайда болады, ал мұндағы құм бөлшектеріне қосымша жағдайлардың әсері Оңтүстік Кореяға таралады. Сары шаң көбінесе Такла-Макан, Ордос және Гоби шөлдерінде кездеседі. Оңтүстік Кореяда сары шаң әдетте көктемде, әсіресе сәуір айында болады. Сары шаң туралы жазбалар ежелгі заманнан белгілі, бірақ бұл кезде ол тек құмды дауыл ретінде қабылданғандықтан, зияны көп болған жоқ. Дегенмен, қазіргі кезде Қытайдың қарқынды индустриялануы мен шөлдеуі салдарынан зиян артты. Жаз және күз айларында жаңбырдың тамырлары мен өсімдіктер құмды ұстап тұруға көмектеседі. Бірақ көктемде қыс бойы мұздаған құрғақ топырақ еріп, ұсақ бөлшектерге ыдырайды, нәтижесінде 20 мкм-ден кіші құм шаңы пайда болады. Төмен қысым осы құм шаңын басып өткенде, күшті көтерілетін ауа ағыны арқылы 3000-5000 метр биіктікке көтеріліп, секундына 30 метр жылдамдықпен батыс желдерімен және қанатты ағындармен жылжиды. Содан кейін желдің жылдамдығы төмендеген Корея мен Жапонияға түсіп, кейде тіпті АҚШ-қа дейін жетеді (1998 жылдың сәуір айы). Осы шаңның Корея түбегіне жетуіне екі-үш күн уақыт кетеді. Оңтүстік Кореяда сары шаң жыл сайын наурыз бен мамыр аралығында 3-6 күнге дейін байқалады. Ел бойынша жалпы байқау саны бойынша ең көп тіркелген аймақ – Чолла-до (Кванчжу). Оқиғаның жиілігі бойынша Сеул, Кёнги және батыс жағалау аймақтарында көбірек тіркелген. Сирек жағдайларда, 1991 жылғы қыста Сеулде (30 қарашадан 3 желтоқсанға дейін) байқалған. Алғашқы сары шаң 1999 жылдың 25 қаңтарында тіркелді, ал қатты сары шаң 2001 жылдың 2 қаңтарында сағат 13:00-де болды. Дегенмен, 2022 жылдың желтоқсанында қыста сары шаңның пайда болуы сияқты ерекше жағдайлар да тіркелді.
Asian Dust, known in Korea as the Yellow Dust, refers to a phenomenon in which when low pressure passes through the desert area of China, a large amount of yellow dust floats in the air or lands on the move due to strong winds and topography, affecting Korea. Yellow Dust occurs in desert areas in China and Mongolia, and the addition of several conditions to the sand particles generated here affects South Korea. Deserts where Yellow dust usually occurs include Taklamakan, Ordos, and Gobi. In South Korea, Yellow Dust usually occurs in spring, especially in April. Yellow dust has been recorded since ancient times, and the damage was not so severe because it was only a sandstorm in ancient times, but in modern times, the damage is getting worse due to China's rapid industrialization and desertification. In summer or autumn, the roots of rain and plants play a role in holding onto the sand. However, in spring, the dry soil, which had been frozen throughout the winter, melts and breaks down into small pieces, resulting in small sand dust of less than 20 μm in size. When low pressure passes over the generated sand dust, it rises to a high sky of 3,000 5,000m by a strong ascending air current and then travels in westerlies and jets of about 30m per second. Since then, it has descended from Korea and Japan, where wind speed has slowed, and sometimes even moved to the United States (April 1998). It takes about two to three days to get to the Korean Peninsula from the origin. In South Korea, Yellow Dust is observed for 3 to 6 days mainly from March to May every year. In terms of the total number of observations nationwide, Jeolla do (Gwangju, the region with the largest number of occurrences) has been observed. In terms of the number of days of occurrence, Seoul, Gyeonggi and the west coast are long. In rare cases, it was observed in Seoul in the winter of 1991 (November 30, 1991 to December 3). Early yellow dust occurred on January 25, 1999, and severe yellow dust occurred around 1 p. m. on January 2, 2001. However, there is also a strange tendency, such as yellow dust in December 2022 in winter.
Тайфундар
Оңтүстік Корея Жапония, Тайвань, Қытайдың шығыс жағалауы немесе Филиппинге қарағанда тайфундарға аз бейім. Жыл сайын бірден үш тайфун болуы мүмкін. Тайфундар әдетте Оңтүстік Кореяны жаздың соңында, әсіресе тамыз айында кесіп өтеді және кұйылған жаңбыр әкеледі. Су тасқыны, кейде көшкін қаупі бар, себебі елдің географиясы көбінесе таулы. Тайфундар көбінесе жаздың ортасынан күзге дейін, шілде, тамыз және қыркүйек айларында болады. Корей түбегіне келетін тайфундардың көпшілігі осы кезеңде шоғырланады, ал маусым және қазан айларында жанама әсерлері де болуы мүмкін. Тіпті қазан айында да тікелей әсер етеді және құрлыққа түседі. Жазда мұхит бетіндегі ыстық су буланып, конвекция арқылы көтеріліп, конденсацияға ұшырайды, содан кейін бөлінетін жасырын жылу тропосфераға дейін айналадағы су буын қыздырады. Кореяға қарай бет алған тайфундардың көпшілігі Жапонияға немесе Чеджу аралына, Ғысаннам және Чолланам провинцияларына тікелей зардап келтіреді. Дегенмен, 1984 жылдың қыркүйек айында рекордтық су тасқыны 190 адамның қаза болуына және 200 мың адамның баспанасыз қалуына себеп болды. Бұл апат Солтүстік Корея үкіметін күріш, дәрі-дәрмек, киім-кешек және құрылыс материалдары түрінде бұрын-соңды болмаған гуманитарлық көмек көрсетуге итермеледі. Оңтүстік Корея бұл көмекті қабылдап, су тасқынынан зардап шеккендерге таратып берді.
South Korea is less vulnerable to typhoons than Japan, Taiwan, the east coast of China, or the Philippines. From one to three typhoons can be expected per year. Typhoons usually pass over South Korea in late summer, especially in August, and bring torrential rains. Flooding occasionally causes considerable damage, as do landslides, given the country's generally mountainous terrain. Typhoons often occur from midsummer to early autumn, July, August, and September. Most of the typhoons invading the Korean Peninsula are concentrated during this period, and sometimes indirect effects occur in June and October. Even October has a direct impact and lands. In the summer, the water on the surface of the ocean, which received hot heat, evaporates and rises by convection and condenses, and the latent heat released heats up the surrounding water vapor again to the troposphere interface. In the case of typhoons heading to Korea, most of them fall into Japan, or Jeju Island, Gyeongsangnam do, and Jeollanam do are often directly damaged. However, In September 1984, record floods caused the deaths of 190 people and left 200,000 homeless. This disaster prompted the North Korean government to make an unprecedented offer of humanitarian aid in the form of rice, medicine, clothes, and building materials. South Korea accepted these items and distributed them to flood victims.

Мекендеу орындарының жоғалуы және нашарлауы, әсіресе жағалауды мелиорациялау арқылы (мысалы, Саэманьгум, Шива, Сонг До, Намянг шығанағы, Асан шығанағы, оңтүстік-батыста, Гванянг шығанағы және Накдон сағасы) балық шаруашылығының және биологиялық әртүрліліктің қатты азаюына себеп болды. Кореядағы өзендердегі батпақты жерлердің көп бөлігі қазір ұсынылып отырған Ұлы Корея су жолы жобасымен қоршаланған. Ірі қалалардағы ауаның ластануымен қатар, канализация және өнеркәсіптік қалдықтардың құйылуынан судың ластануы да проблема болып табылады. Сондай-ақ, жүзу торлары да мәселе тудырады.
Habitat loss and degradation, especially of wetlands, through coastal reclamation (e. g. Saemangeum, Shiwa, Song Do, Namyang Bay, Asan Bay, in the south west, Gwangyang Bay and the Nakdong Estuary) have caused huge declines in fisheries and of biodiversity. Most riverine wetland in Korea is now threatened by the proposed Grand Korean Waterway project. There are also some problems with air pollution in large cities; as well as water pollution from the discharge of sewage and industrial effluents. Drift netting is another issue.
