Ecological Rivers
Sustainable Coasts
The Bureau emphasizes four guidelines:
‧Water-Regulation: Pomote the integration of river basin management, reduce inundation disaster and losses.
‧Water-Utilization: Ensure steady supply of water; increase the benefits of using water resources.
‧Water-Rappvochement: Carry out improvements to the river and coastal environment, plan water recreational areas close to nature.
‧Water-Revitalization: Promote water recycling and water supply diversification.
Taiwan's water resources works must direct their efforts in two directions, after entering the twenty-one century:
"Cultivate the natural environment, managing good quality rich and renewable water resources."
"manage the rivers and seas, protect and create a diversified natural water environment."
Our bureau has devised a strategy in accordance with the integrated planning of the drainage area to train Toucian and other rivers, which accepts the importance of training and managing ecological engineering and environmental melting, n the expectation of ensuring "Ecological rivers" & "Sustainable coasts", realizing that the human and water environments depend on each other.
