Abstract
Domestic water pollution accidents and response management were analysed on the basis of collected data from the latest 5 years. Although average 66.7 number of accidents were happened every year, no damages of human life were reported yet. According to the data collected, the accidents were occurred at Han river, Nakdong river, Keum river, Youngsang river and other rivers, where the percentages were 25.4%, 20.3%, 12%, 8% and 29.7%, respectively. Main reasons were blamed for negligent management, mixed influences, natural phenomenon and traffic accident. Response activities were performed in the case of the oil leak, the fish death caused by water environment, the spill of chemicals. From the diagnosis of water pollution accidents, it is recommended that the legistration of all control centers for their roles and duties was made in case of the big accidents as well as the small/middle accidents.
