NTU assists in watershed management
The National Taiwan University Hydrotech Research Institute boasts a strong research team dedicated to watershed management, ecological assessments in water conservation areas, lake function investigations, and water quality and algae monitoring in numerous reservoirs and catchments to ensure a stable water supply. Through collaborations with all levels of government and communities, we are committed to sustainable water resource utilization. We have successfully implemented a sustainable water resource management plan in southern Taiwan and provide long-term monitoring and ecological surveys for national park lakes to protect Taiwan's precious endemic plants.
Hydrotech Research Institute (HRI)
The Hydrotech Research Institute (HRI) at NTU was founded in 1950. HRI is missioned to (1) provide teaching support for lab experiments of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, (2) conduct research activities & technical development in the fields of hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources engineering, and (3) provide consulting and project services, technical extension, and workshop training relevant to water resources engineering.

Management and Maintenance Plan for Jinlong Lake, Xizhi
NTU researchers have conducted a thorough assessment of Jinlong Lake to understand its overall function. Through radar detection, we have evaluated sedimentation and assessed the lake's hydraulic structures and flood control capabilities. Based on our findings, we have developed a comprehensive management and maintenance plan to address issues such as wastewater discharge and low dissolved oxygen levels.

Water Quality and Algae Monitoring Project for Deji Reservoir
NTU assists in the management of the catchment area of Deji Reservoir, a crucial water resource in central Taiwan. By conducting regular water quality and algae monitoring from the upstream watershed to the reservoir, we ensure water quality, reduce sedimentation, and regulate water flow. Furthermore, we promote ecological conservation through the implementation of natural ecological engineering techniques.

Baseline Survey and Long-Term Monitoring Management for the Ecological Reserve of Dream Lake National Park
Dream Lake National Important Wetland is the sole natural habitat of Taiwan's endemic plant, Isoetes taiwanensis. To develop suitable conservation and management strategies for Isoetes taiwanensis, our university assists the national park in conducting long-term ecological surveys and habitat monitoring. The collected data will serve as a reference for wetland management.
