The water that flows in the Cheonggyecheon is a Class-2 level of water quality. Class-1 has a high environmental adaptability
for freshwater fish (Moroco oxycephalus, etc.) and Class-2 is for fish native to the Hangang(River) (minnow, crustacean, catfish, etc.).
Therefore the water of the Cheonggyecheon is safe for recreational use, and children can play in the water with no worry of contamination
from the habitat.
★ However, the water is not drinkable since it does not satisfy the standard quality of water due to
issues of E. coli and turbidity.
