About Ari-Soo

Water source management

Because Ari-Soo is supplied to all the Seoul city, it is very strictly administrated by the water treatment plant. The Seoul Metropolitan Government engages in the 24-hour real-time protection and surveillance of the water source to deliver 'clean and safe tap water'.[1] Regular assessments are made of 41 different indicators at 33 water source points and 135 indicators at the six water intake points. Seven indicators, including algae (chlorophyll-a) and phenol, are especially monitored automatically around the clock. The Guui plant operates a biological early warning system using water fleas in addition to installing barriers to block oil from flowing into the water source.[1]
