Oncheon-cheon (also known as the Oncheon Stream or Oncheon River) is a tributary of the Suyeong River in Busan, South Korea.[1] It was previously known as the Seocheon or Dongnaecheon.[citation needed] The source of the river is on Geumjeongsan.[1] It then flows through the built-up area of Busan, passing between Allak-dong (Dongnae District) and Yeonsan-dong (Yeonje District) along the way.[2]
In 2003, the Busan municipal government began redevelopment in order to address the stream's environmental issues and provide recreation facilities on its banks.[1] The Oncheon Stream Park along the banks of the river is an excellent place to view the blossoming of cherry trees.[2]
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.[3] 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.[4]
