The state-run Korea Water Resources Corp. (K-Water), which successfully completed an ambitious restoration project of the country\u2019s four major rivers from 2010 to 2011, is now seeking to share its water management know-how with Thailand, China and Morocco. The company has formed a consortium with six construction firms, including Hyundai and GS, to win an $11 billion contract from Thailand for refurbishing the latter\u2019s 25 river systems. It also wants to become a consultant for Morocco to help it more effectively manage its scarce water resources, while advising China\u2019s Yinchuan City, an agricultural hub which often suffers flooding as a result of the overflowing Yellow River, on how to design and build various flood prevention infrastructures.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is there even any credible independent monitoring of the effects of the korean four rivers project to reference, before they agree to such massive and expensive projects?<\/p>\n
