Water Source and Purification in Gwanak-gu, Seoul: The water supply in Seoul, including Gwanak-gu (where my university is), primarily comes from the Han River and other local sources. This water is treated and purified through various processes, including filtration, disinfection, and quality testing to ensure it meets drinking water standards. The purification methods can vary a lot due to some places in Gwanak being rebuilt, new, or fairly old.

Energy Sources at Seoul National University Dormitory: The specific energy sources used at Seoul National University dormitories vary depending on the facility (many different dorm buildings) and its energy infrastructure. In South Korea, the energy mix often includes a combination of nuclear, coal, natural gas, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind), and more. The sustainability of these sources depends on several factors:

• Renewable Energy: many Universities are increasingly adopting renewable energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint. This can include solar panels or wind turbines on campus. My university is one of these!
• Efficiency Measures: Energy-efficient systems and practices can enhance sustainability.
• South Koreas strict recycling also helps with sustainability and carbon emissions.

Extra: The more I connect with my sit spot, the more I find myself enjoying the outdoors. It’s also nice to see the mosquitoes start to diminish little by little.
