[YONHAP] The Ministry of Environment announced Tuesday it will dredge more bodies of water and build more dams with increased budget outlays for next year. The ministry's budget for next year rose to 12.6 trillion won ($9.5 billion), up 8.8 percent from this year. Some 2 trillion won will be used for the management of dams and bodies of water, up 70 percent from this year's 1.2 trillion won. The plan follows a summer of death and property damage due to heavy rains and a typhoon that struck the country.
