Taiwan has limited fresh water resources, with uneven rainfall distribution and high silt content in rivers. Only about 18% of river runoff is used. Agriculture accounts for 70% of water use. Global warming is exacerbating drought issues in southern Taiwan. Taiwanese have only 1/7 the average global per capita water availability, so Taiwan is relatively water-scarce. The document calls for establishing a sense of crisis around water shortages through education, strengthening water resource protection, promoting conservation such as showering instead of bathing, and reusing rainwater. Conservation is everyone's responsibility to ensure sufficient water resources for the future.

4. Innate Disadvantages Rivers of Taiwan flow rapidly Silt content is large. Rainfall is ok but uneven allocation of time Water Pollution Over-exploitation of land water Lack of water conservation Struggle for land and water Intrusion into the river Domestic, industrial, agricultural, garbage and other pollution Improper use of water resources

5. Sometimes arid, sometimes floods!

6. Only about 18% of the use of river runoff! The proportion of agricultural water accounts for 70% in Taiwan. Effects of Global Warming Uneven distribution of rainfall space -- d ue to climate change, drought in the south is even worse. Rainfall time and uneven distribution-- R ainfall concentrates in the central part of TW. We should build adverse water resource conservations.

7. Taiwanese per capita average distribution of rainfall is only 1/7 of the world’s average, which indicates Taiwan is relatively a water-scarce country.

10. Establish the sense of crisis in the water shortages through a variety of education Strengthen the protection of water resources - Promote water conservation actively Such as a shower to replace take bath in the tub or reuse the rainwater
