Paekma-Cholsan Waterway Project under way
KCNA
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The project of the Paekma-Cholsan Waterway makes headway in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is an irrigation project to ensure natural flow of water.
The preparations for over 40 water tunnel projects have been completed in a short span of time after the groundbreaking.
Signal successes are being registered in the projects of culverts and open sewers, and earth excavation for the rock bed of a reservoir dam.
The completion of the waterway project will help improve the irrigation system in the western part of the country and supply sufficient water to farmlands in Phihyon, Ryongchon, Yomju, Tongrim and Cholsan counties and some parts of Sinuiju, North Phyongan Province.
Meanwhile, over 260 water-pumping stations will be removed and tens of thousands of kilowatts saved.
Several minor power stations will be constructed along the waterway.
