I Introduction

4 Introduction

• Before the end of June, we face a challenge of the drought problem . In the southern island, it did no rain in 60 consecutive days . The water storages in main reservoirs decreased to a lower stage fihifor operations at that time Shihmen Reservoir : 69 million tons (33%) Zengwen Reservoir : 126 million tons (21%) Nanhua Reservoir : 28 million tons (24%) . We expect Typhoon Morakot bringing rainfall to quench the dhdrought.

• The Typhoon Morakot affected northern island on Aug. 7-9, but it results the worst flood in 50 years at southern island 5 Course of Typhoon

Aug 5-6: Moved fast toward Chinese Taipei. Aug. 7 : Slowed down and out skirt touched the island. Aug. 8 : Made landfall at 00:00; Center left the island at 14:00 at very slow pace. Aug. 9 ： Gradually moved toward China.

20 Dam Safety for Reservoir

• In the Morakot, the peak inflow of Tsengwen reservoir was 11,729 m3/s which exceeded the spillway capacity of 9,470 m3/s. Fortunately, there are no severe damage in the reservoir . • We wonder that the extreme rainfall may happen in the catchment of other main reservoirs , especially in Shihman Reservoir at upstream of Taipei city.

Spillway capacity/Catchment area (mm/hr) 19.66 40.00 18. 08 Inflow of Reservoir/ Spillway capacity 1.24 0.70 21 Capacity Loss of the Reservoir

BfBefore t he Ty Tph oon M ora kot, t he tota l sedi mentati on of f40 40 reservoirs was 300 millions m3 (13.02% of effective capacity ).

At the typhoon Aere (2004), 28 million m3 deposited in Shihmen reservoir and 18 million m 3 in Tsengwen reservoir .

At the Typhoon Morakot, about 70 million m 3 deposited in Tsengwen reservoir.

The sedimentation deposited in reservoir will reduce the effective capacity of storage for water supply.

22 Off-Site Reservoir- Alternative Solution for Sediment

Dam directly constructed in a river usuall y suff er ed fr om th e sed ime nt deposited in reservoir, like most of reservoirs in the island,,p especially faced on the climate change.

The off-site reservoir, having small river catchment and water intake from other river, need to consider in the future. 23

Three S teps to Emergency R esponse

Rea-time Scientific In-time Monitoring Prediction Operation

• Provide updated data • Provide forecasting • Provide reaction based on based on gggauges based on models well-defined plan • Tool for pinpointing blind • Tool for pre-disaster • Tool for saving more time areas by forecast deppyloyment before it’s too late • Reference for revising • Reference for decision • Reference for allocating decision support support emergency support • Limited by number, • Limited by technology • Limited by determination location, transmission development of all-level administrators

26 Enhancement of Typhoon Monitoring System

1. Th ough h we h ave 406 real -tiiflld4Dlime rainfall gauges and 4 Doppler radar stations around the island, it is still insufficient to emergency response flfor large scal e weath er vari itiations. 2. A regional weather information platform is needed to improve the accuracy of rainfall forecasts . 27 River Monitoring System is an Essential Element to Flood Warning

• The Danshuei River Flood Forecasting System provides flood warning with 6-hr lead time river stage forecasting for the metropolitan Taipei area. • The system should be implemented in other major rivers ihildin the island.

3.2 Strengthening the Emergency Response and Relief at all Levels 29 Detestation After Typhoon Blocked Emer gency Relief

1.Major challenges to emergency rescue • Bad weather condition jeopardized air-lifting operation • Interruption of roads and bridges restrained access to the affected areas. • More complexity of severe weather and interrupted transportation than the 1999 Chi -Chi Earthquake 2.At initial stage right after typhoon, government takes critics and pressure from the media and the public

Because of no majj,or landslide before, villagers decided to stay •Spot: Siaolin Village, Jiasian Township •Damage and causality: the landslide cased 350 damaged houses and 453 people dead

With Pre-disaster Evacuation

Villagers followed the red alert of debris flow • Spot: Yushan Village, Nanhua Township • No causality reported • If no evacuation in time, the 50 damaged hldthbfhouses could cause the number of causality to 71

32 Strengthening disaster preparedness measures and rescue resources in local governments

• Community residents are the executors . • Through various activities to encourages participation • Provide needed knowledge and resources. discussion
