Oncheon-cheon (also known as the Oncheon Stream or Oncheon River) is a tributary of the Suyeong River in Busan, South Korea. It was previously known as the Seocheon or Dongnaecheon. The source of the river is at Geumjeongsan.[citation needed] It then flows through Busan, between Allak-dong (Dongnae District) and Yeonsan-dong (Yeonje District).[1]
The Oncheon Stream Park along the banks of the river is an excellent place to view the blossoming of cherry trees.[1]
Ecosystem
The river's ecosystem suffered due to urban development and industrialisation. A 1984 study found that the water contained more than ten times the safe level of synthetic organic compounds, attributable to the dumping of industrial waste in the river.[2] In April 2000, eight social & environmental volunteer groups began efforts to restore the river's ecosystem.[citation needed] However by 2008, there was still far greater plant diversity at the upper reaches of the river than in the urban area.[3]
