The Imjin and North Han River are North-South shared rivers which are sharing watershed between South and North Korea. In Imjin river basin, the April 5th dam and Hwanggang dam which is already constructed or on construction, causes problems in water supply in the downstream area of the Imjin river basin. At the same time, in the North Han River basin, the Imnam dam is being operated for diversion to Anbyeon Youngman Hydrepower Plant and it gives rise to conflict between South and North. Therefore, a cooperative system needs to be built for settling the pending issues. In this study, based on the theory of conflict resolution in the intermational shared river basin, the practical alternatives are suggested. These approaches are expected to help in preparing reasonable resolution ahead of seeking political decision. Also, in order to preparing consistent and reasonable river management measures, the South-North shared river management commission was suggested. |
