South Korea Drought Hit

On September 1, 2025, in Gangneung, South Korea, the Obong Reservoir in Gangwon Province reveals its parched bed as the region grapples with an extended drought. Once a vital source of tap water for local households, the reservoir's water level plummets to just 14.4 percent of its normal capacity, prompting emergency measures such as water deliveries by sprinkler trucks.
