Control Aid System of Barrages on Taedong River
Pyongyang, October 13 (KCNA) -- The Earth Environmental Science Faculty of Kim Il Sung University has developed a control aid system of barrages on the Taedong River, thus opening a prospect to place the control of barrages and reservoirs on a scientific and IT basis.

It has been made possible to take prompt and accurate measures against floods according to forecast by getting hourly information about the management of the barrages and reservoirs on the basis of a geographical information system.

In other words, it has become possible to adjust the amount of water of the barrage reservoirs in case of floods and rationally supply water to the industrial and agricultural sectors and to living quarters under normal conditions by receiving data about the water level, the amount of the discharge of water and precipitation, etc. from each watch station and analyzing them comprehensively.

Possessed of data for meeting hydrological requirements, the data center helps make a scientific decision when a dangerous situation is created.

The barrages of the Taedong River and reservoirs on its reaches can be managed on a new scientific basis with the introduction of the new system.

The system was highly appreciated at scientific and technological exhibitions including the National Exhibition of Young People's Scientific and Technological Achievements held this year.
