The sea of f the west coast of
Korea is very shallow, so that
land can be very easily and
economically reclaimed for multipurposes
such as cultivation of
rice, water supply and so on.
There are many dikes which
we re constructed through the
reclamation projects and because
of their scale they can be used
as attractive sites for building
and also as roads to shorten the
coast line. These dikes are
suitable as highways and they
usual ly enclose a new large
freshwater lake well suited to
boating and fishing.
