Greetings and thank you for visiting our homepage.

If the 20th century was the era of black gold, oil, the 21st century is the era of blue gold, water. Water is becoming increasingly scarce due to population growth, urbanization, and environmental pollution. In particular, global climate change has made it more important to secure and manage water reliably.

Water has become a key resource that determines national happiness and competitiveness. It is also a clean energy that protects the environment, an essential material for cutting-edge industries such as ultrapure water and a future growth engine that will replace semiconductors. As the water environment is rapidly changing, K-water feels a greater sense of responsibility than ever before.

Since its establishment in 1967, K-water has completed all the tasks assigned to it in each era. But we will not rest on our laurels. With its new vision as a “Global top tier water company overcoming climate crisis,” we aim to become a company that resolves the climate risks faced by humanity and protects our daily lives.

Super-gap technologies are at the heart of these challenges.
To carry out the tasks of the new era, K-water has secured Three Super-Gap Technologies in water management: the Digital Twin (DT) Water Management Platform, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Water Treatment Plant, and a Smart Water Network Management (SWNM) technology. These super-gap technologies are unprecedented worldwide, and are the key to overcoming the limitations of existing water management. In addition, we are opening a new era of green infrastructure by fostering original inn technologies – such as ultrapure water, hydrothermal energy and seawater desalination technologies – to the global leading level.

Climate change is both a crisis and an opportunity for us. Since there is yet to be a “right” answer, future success or failure will depend on who can present a solution first. Accordingly, huge amounts of capital and technology are pouring into the green market, and the global competition to dominate climate tech is intensifying. As such, K-water will turn crises into opportunities. Through close cooperation between the government and businesses, we will secure the world's most advanced climate technology and present our own super-gap solutions to climate problems to take the lead in the global green market.

The world is taking notice of our innovations. Water authorities in the United Nations, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and even the African continent, including Botswana, are fascinated by our water management solutions, which combine our super-gap and climate technologies. The biggest change of all is that while we used to search the world for clients, the world is now coming to us in this new era. South Korea's waterways are expanding beyond its borders and into the world. We will wisely utilize this trend to elevate Korea’s status as a global pivotal country and secure global leadership in the water sector.

We will also faithfully carry out our essential tasks.
We will protect the lives and safety of our people by responding to future climate disasters whose scope exceeds the imagination and improving our water management capabilities so that our companies can compete globally without worrying about water. Furthermore, we will discover a new model for the era of regional balance in which each region prospers by using water as an asset.

We will become “One Team” and a partner for the mutual growth of the people, businesses, regions, and the nation and vigorously open a new era of water in which the Republic of Korea will become abundant in water resources.
