Agenda Arc

Derived

Built live from origin, soft-law type, timeline, and sources — not a new research claim. Global vs Korean purpose are observed framings — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (GDWQ, 4th edition 2017, updated 2022) provide health-based guideline values for over 200 chemical, microbial, radiological, and physical parameters.

Korean purpose

환경부는 먹는물 수질기준 및 검사 등에 관한 고시를 통해 WHO GDWQ를 국내에 도입하여, 61개 항목의 수질기준(미생물 4항목·무기물질 13항목·유기물질 28항목·소독부산물 11항목·심미적영향물질 5항목), 항목별 최대허용농도(비소 0.01 mg/L, 납 0.01 mg/L, 질산성질소 10 mg/L, 총대장균군 불검출 등 WHO 가이드라인 값과의 정합), 수질검사 주기(수도사업자 월·분기·반기·연간 검사), 물안전계획(WSP) 도입 및 운영지침을 규정하고 있다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality → 환경부 먹는물 수질기준 고시 (ME Drinking Water Quality Notice) | arsenic guideline 10 μg/L → 비소 최대허용농도 0.01 mg/L (10 μg/L). Not a claim of coordination.

Score Guide

Confidence — Editorial A–D tier from semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.

Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
