On the last holiday of June when the news about the drought continued, we went to the Deokwu Reservoir for cleanup. It is famous for fishing, and a perfect place for a family picnic. However, when we went there, there was almost no water due to the severe drought, and the exposed bottom cracked all over.
From the positive viewpoint, it was perfect for cleaning; all the trash was exposed, which would have continued to cause the water pollution if it had not dried up.
We started the cleanup with the head of the Bongdam-eup office and many other officials who came out to help us. Although they were the hosts who asked us to do cleanup there, it was very touching to see the head of Bongdam-eup office stay with us and clean diligently until it was over despite the hot weather.
The reservoir became clean after the cleanup. Now once it rains and the reservoir is filled with water, many people will make good memories at the Deokwu Reservoir. Our mission to clean the reservoir was accomplished!
