Abstract: The study analyses the newly established river basin management system in South Korea since the 2018 Framework Act on Water Management. Several river basin organizations have been introduced in Korea. Most of the responsibilities related to water policy have been transferred to the Ministry of Environment. There has been almost no transformation in water policy supporting river basin organizations despite the enshrinement of the principle in the 2018 Act due to the apparent lack of interest by the ministry. Good awareness and measures both local and nationwide are warranted to ensure that the system is operational and successful.
