North Korea Notifies South Korea of Starting Water Discharge from Border Dam

The problem about a high levels of water in dams isn't a small problem because many countries face a problem. Some countries they got only a high levels of water in dams but some countries they got a big problem such as flood. Those countries try to find the way to solve this problem, so in South Korea they got a high levels of water in dams but it not came from nature but they got it from their neighbor

According to the news, North Korea announced that they will open the floodgates and start discharge water about 1000 tons per second from a dam into the river in South Korea. A ministry official in charge of water control said that " There wasn't uncontrollable rise in the level of water overnight and our dam built along the border can contain any intentional or accidental flash flood. " Moreover, a fews day pass the torrential rain fall and it cause of raising the levels of major rivers. An unannounced dam discharged on last September into the river cause of killed six South Korean camper because a flash flood. This time South Korea has fears about water attack from North Korea again. However, North Korea said that they promise to warn it again if they will discharge water into South Korea in the future.

In my opinion, I think If I were South Korea people I must worry about this thing so much because if North Korea was not announce about their action to South Korea. Their people must worry every time because they don't know when the water come again. If They know before they will prepare to do something for this.
