Water Safety Management and Maintenance Program
 

To promote public awareness regarding water supply management and provide assistance to schools without access to tap water, the K-12 Education Administration of the Ministry of Education has commissioned NTU to carry out a water safety management and maintenance program for school campuses around the country over the years. The program includes: Preparing campus water safety maintenance and management manuals, organizing regular seminars, and implementing databases with water management information collected and compiled from various schools. For campuses without tap water and have access only to groundwater or mountain spring water sources, the program has also provided assistance by assigning advisory teams to conduct on-site surveys at these locations, including inspecting water treatment equipment, analyzing water quality, and conducting interviews with school water resource administrators, after which appropriate recommendations are made. Over the past dozen years or so, these advisory teams have paid over a thousand visits to schools in remote areas and spared no effort in helping elementary and secondary schools ensure the safety and quality of their water supply.

Te-Chi Reservoir Water Quality and Algae Monitoring Program

The Te-Chi Reservoir is a significant water source in the central region of Taiwan. NTU assists the Ministry of Economic Affairs in conducting water quality investigations in the reservoir's catchment area and monitoring algae in the Te-Chi Reservoir. This effort aims to understand the impact of climate change on water quality and eutrophication in the reservoir. In addition to ensuring that the reservoir's water quality meets drinking water source standards, it also contributes to informing the government's future improvement strategies for reservoir management.
