On Oct. 8, HUMAN IN LOVE conducted an underwater purifying activity of the Han River at the southern area of Jamsil Bridge. Enjoying its third anniversary, the Han River underwater purifying activity was participated by the HUMAN IN LOVE emergency rescue team and some 40 voluntary workers.

Three boats were used to collect one-ton waste in the water, including waste tires, surfboards, bicycles, waste fishing nets, steel railings and steel plates. Diving members collected waste in the water, while heavy waste that cannot be carried by the divers was pulled out by the voluntary workers outside.

If waste is left underwater, harmful substances dissolve in water and pollute the water, taking a toll on the underwater ecosystem.

Han River is the source of drinking water as well as beloved rest area for the people of the capital area. Also, it is the repository of the ecosystem, inhabited by some 1,800 species of animals and plants.
