      Hi everyone! My name is Lisa Zaretskaya. I would like to draw your attention to my 7th report related to RIVER, WATER POLLUTION IN TAIWAN. Last month, with students from Tamkang University, we began our ecological marathon. The 3rd and 4th lectures were devoted to river and water pollution in Taiwan. The students, whose name were Sveta Pei Hua and Berta Chen, told us about the problems of the river and water pollution in Taiwan.Taiwan is a small and populous island with a lot of factories, factors which have placed a heavy burden on the environment. Rivers in Taiwan do not have strong self-cleaning and assimilative capacities and are therefore polluted to different degrees. To improve water quality, the EPA (Environmental Pollution Administration) has initiated various programs at different stages. For example, according to these programs, the government removes the pig farms from the basin of five rivers, compensates the farmers, and removes illegal metal processing factories at the source of Erren River. To continue the improvement of the water quality, the government created the plan which involves: (1) Strengthening pollution control (2) Improving the quality of rivers (3) Protecting the sources of drinking water (4) Cleaning the garbage in rivers (5) Educating and encouraging public participation, and so on. Thank you for your attention. Our marathon will be continued?? |
