Seoul river transformation holds lesson for Musi rejuvenation in Telangana

SEOUL :Once a heavily polluted river stream, Cheonggyecheon, which flows through downtown Seoul, the capital of South Korea, now runs with treated and crystal-clear water.

It has transformed into an eco-friendly zone, fostering biodiversity and contributing to the fight against climate change. Additionally, it serves as a flood-receding channel.

This turnaround from a polluted to a pristine river is a revolution in riverfront development and serves as an inspiration for many polluted rivers worldwide, including the Musi river in Hyderabad.
