This study is focused on a climate data integrity to improve water quality assessment due to the social development projects. The study is in an attempt to calculate both extreme ranges of weather data measurements and partly provide means to assess qualification of data which fall within the extremes at the 23 meteorological weather stations. Generally speaking, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature are in the range of reasonable accuracy. However, there found some outliers of the brightness sunshine hours in Cheonan station. Also some years in Gwangju, Seoul, Wonju, Busan, and Jeju never reach to their upper limit and perhaps the calibration of the equipment is doubtful. The users need to take cautions in using the brightness sunshine hour data in preparation of water resources planning and management by estimating evapotranspiration and river discharge, and/or growth rate of the algae (phytoplankton).

OECD countries are using the indicators to manage water resources. The cares about the water deficiency is more growing because of the climate change, but we have no exact indicators to know how much water to need and where to need. So, we made a national water resource indicators. We analyzed water management indicators of foreign countries and selected proper those for our countries. During the process, we asked the expert's consults to certificate it's qualification. The condition to select the indicators are as follows. First, it must be easy for every one to understand those. Second, the indicators should be able to measure. Third, the results should be able to present a comparison between nations. The last, the indicators should be set up from the view point of long-term purpose. As a result, we selected 8 core indicators. But those are not perfect because the data and information are not sufficient. So we need to cooperate and organize the indicators with government.
