The recent Korea Water and Wastewater Association (KWWA) report provides a very interesting narrative on how Korea was able to develop the water sector during the period 1960-2012 . With international support including that from the World Bank, Korea galvanized its water sector by investing in water and wastewater infrastructure.
The history of wastewater treatment in Korea began in 1976 with construction of Chongke sewage treatment plant in the city of Seoul. At present, there are 48 large municipal sewage treatment plants for 42 cities with a total treatment capacity of 7,841,000 m 3 /d. This indicates that the population receiving sewage treatment is 42% of the total national population.
