- Grand_Korean_Waterway abstract "The Grand Korean Waterway, officially known as the Pan Korea Grand Waterway, is a proposed 540-kilometer-long (340 mi) canal connecting Seoul and Busan, South Korea's two largest cities. The canal would run diagonally across the country connecting the Han River, which flows through Seoul into the Yellow Sea, to the Nakdong River, which flows through Busan into the Korea Strait. The proposed canal would traverse difficult mountainous terrain.The Pan Korea Grand Waterway is a project of Lee Myung-bak, the 17th president of South Korea. It has met with huge controversy and disapproval. Lee stated that the canal will bring clear water source by cleaning layers of sediments that formed in the rivers, create tourist infra-structure and prevent disturbance of logistics.Many Koreans are anxious about Lee's plans.[citation needed] They argue that the canal will prove disastrous to the natural environment and potentially hazardous to the freshwater sources that nearly 50 million residents of the country depend on. In addition, many researchers and interested distribution industries prospect the canal may be economically unprofitable because land transportation may be more cost-effective[citation needed].Supporters of this plan insist that the length of the construction would only be 40 km, linking the Han River with the Nakdong River. The canal would require sufficient width, depth and height of bridge decks to allow barges passage. Major portions of the Han and Nakdong are far narrower and shallower than is required, with most of the bridges on these rivers being unsuitable as their clearance is too low.The scale of construction would be enormous; a number of bridges would need to be rebuilt and both rivers would require extensive dredging along the 540-kilometer route.[citation needed]Lee proposes to fund the project almost exclusively through private funds and subsidize it through the sale of sand and gravel dredged from the rivers and streams involved in the project. This dredging will, he argues, also make the rivers cleaner.[citation needed]The proposal includes a smaller canal, planned to link Seoul and neighboring Incheon. It has been suggested that this will assist economic partnerships between the two cities, lessen traffic congestion and stimulate tourism,[citation needed] beyond providing Seoul access to the Yellow Sea (West Sea). The mouth of the Han River is in an area between North Korea and South Korea, which limits economic activity in the region for security reasons.".
