They didn’t know it is just a vivid description for a type of geographic environment. Fenci Lake is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north sides, so it makes the place look like a dustpan. It is surrounded by clouds and looks like the shape of a lake, so people called it the “Dustpan Lake”. “Fenci Lake is really a lake of forests. You not only can experience the beauty of the forests here but also can feel truly healthy,” saidChen Rueihua, the chairman of the Fenci Lake Community Development Association, This is the opening remark when he talks about the Fenci Lake. It explains clearly why there is no lake on the map. Alishan Alishan Mountain range, which is part of the Central Mountain range, is the collective name of 18 peaks including Dadong Mountain. Overlapping peaks, cliffs, and valleys are the make up the typical view and landscape.Since the high mountains and broad valleys block the strong southwest wind, the valley is usually foggy and cloudy like a vast, tumultuous sea.

However, Jiji is one of the hottest tourist attractions in recent years because of the promotion of tourist train. Along the Jiji railway, there are beautiful scenery and ancient buildings. The railway is 29.7 km in length, starting from Ershui and passing Yuanchuan, Zhuoshui, Longchuan, Jiji, Sheuili and Checheng. As agricultural land is limited in Jiji, farmers here grow fruits with high value, such as guavas and grapes. Bananas are grown on the hillside and litchis are becoming more and more popular too. Jiji also produce flowers, such as the sunflower. Checheng Checheng is a rustic little village close to Mingtan Reservoir. As the terminus of the Jiji tourist railroad, the village prospered for a while in early days due to the construction of the reservoir as well as the logging industry; today, its economy relies on the railroad, logging, power generation, and winery cultures. It is now a recreation area with both leisure and educational functions. In earlier times Shueili was a transshipment point for timber, and with its large level space there were often one-hundred or more log carts parked here. Because of that. its name originally meant "car yard." In recent years, though, tourism has prospered along the Jiji Line, and Checheng, with its rich history of hydroelectric power construction and logging shipment, has received increasing attention.

  • The Study on Artificial Recharge of Groundwater for Land Subsidenceusing Existing Agricultural Ponds
    3rd World Irrigation Forum (WIF3) ST-1.1 1-7 September 2019, Bali, Indonesia W.1.1.58 THE STUDY ON ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE OF GROUNDWATER FOR LAND SUBSIDENCEUSING EXISTING AGRICULTURAL PONDS Ting Cheh-Shyh1, Chuang Chi-Hung2 ABSTRACT Taiwan is an oceanic nation with a combined area of approximately 36,000 km2. The Central Mountain Range were formed by Eurasian and Philippine Plates and stretches along the entire island from north to south, along the entire island, thus forming a natural line of demarcation for rivers on the eastern and western sides of the island. The uncontrolled development of groundwater resources has led to undesirable effects, especially in the coastal area where aquaculture is concentrated. These effects are land subsidence, saline water intrusion, lowering of water tables. The purpose of this preliminary study is to evaluate the reclaimed water reuse via aquifers. The sewage waste water discharged from the surrounding settlements closed to the pathway of the Taiwan High Speed Rail located at the land subsidence area. Purification technology using existing agricultural ponds as constructed wetland is to recharge aquifer by ponds or wells and then to mitigate the land subsidence for railway safe. From the data collection, the evaluation and analysis will be simulated by numerical model for the next stage. The constructed wetland system can be achieved the required quality for recharge from the reclaimed water reuse. Based on the well results from preliminary study of artificial recharge of groundwater using existing agricultural ponds to alleviate the land subsidence, the planned projects will be promoted by the Council of Agriculture along the pathway of the Taiwan High Speed Rail located at the land subsidence area in the future.

Johnson Received: 30 November 2016; Accepted: 25 January 2017; Published: 30 January 2017 Abstract: Recurrent flood events induced by typhoons are powerful agents to modify channel morphology in Taiwan’s rivers. Frequent channel migrations reflect highly sensitive valley floors and increase the risk to infrastructure and residents along rivers. Therefore, monitoring channel planforms is essential for analyzing channel stability as well as improving river management. This study analyzed annual channel changes along two sediment-rich rivers, the Zhuoshui River and the Gaoping River, from 2008 to 2015 based on satellite images of FORMOSAT-2. Channel areas were digitized from mid-catchment to river mouth (~90 km). Channel stability for reaches was assessed through analyzing the changes of river indices including braid index, active channel width, and channel activity.

    An Assessment on the Ministry of Education’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control： Strategies Proven to be Effective, School Children’s Health are Being Safeguarded (Courtesy of Qiu-Chan Qiu at the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Security) To envision effective and economically viable indoor and outdoor air pollution prevention and control strategies, the Ministry of Education has commissioned a team from the National Cheng Kung University to undertake a one-and-a-half-year project of "Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of Effectiveness of School Air Pollution Prevention and Control Strategies" in May 2018. In particular, the “fresh air ventilation system” can effectively restore 100 percent of the indoor carbon dioxide to its standard value; the average rate of PM2.5 pollution in the classrooms with the system installed also improved as much as 70 percent. From October 2019, in response to the incoming season of severe air pollution (the autumn and winter seasons from October to March), a post assessment on the indoor air quality at school will be performed on a trial basis, and a complete report on the effectiveness of the implementation of the air pollution prevention and control measures will be put forward in early 1 2020 to persuade the Executive Yuan and the Environmental Protection Administration to implement the measures on a larger scale. To understand the effectiveness of this pilot project, Sun-Lu Fan, Political Deputy Minister of Education and Fu-Yuan Peng, Director-General of K-12 Education Administration of the Ministry of Education, led a team to the Yunlin County Yang Ming Elementary School on the morning of September 16, 2019 to observe the effectiveness of the school air pollution prevention and control strategies.
