Seoul City Water Project

Recent debates in relation to the quality of Seoul city water, have stemmed out of - what can only be described as; {the rapid development of a post-war East Asian economy}. Most Seoul residents choose to drink bottled mineral water, however, it has been reported that Oh Se-hoon, not only vouches for but drinks the city tap water [1] English teachers from the likes of his hometown Mokdong, have quickly taken to his good example and now use tap water for not only cooking, but drinking as well. These kinds of initiatives are the first steps towards reducing the Seoul city dependancy on bottled mineral water.
