[Reporter Liao Jianing/Report from Taipei] The nine frogs at Sun Moon Lake are often used as an indicator to assess water conditions. In this regard, Lai Jianxin, director of the Water Resources Department, personally explained today that when the nine frogs appeared, the Sun Moon Lake Reservoir still had 84% of its water storage capacity.

March 22 is World Water Resources Day, and the Water Resources Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs held the "2023 Water Conservation Excellence Award Ceremony" today.

Lai Jianxin said in his speech that it is indeed not easy to establish a "water-saving society". With everyone’s hard work, we don’t have the confidence to go through 600 days without rain.” Thanks to the winners for their great support to the Water Conservancy Department during the dry season and the drought-resistance period, and also for setting a good example for the society .

He also pointed out that friends who live in areas where there is no shortage of water often question why it is necessary to save water?

Lai Jianxin also shared a piece of water information, pointing out that the total length of tap water pipelines exceeds 70,000 kilometers. When people turn on the taps, every drop of tap water that flows out must travel at least 100 kilometers to establish this water supply system.

He said that when the rainwater falls to the catchment area, and then flows from the catchment area through a long mountain forest to the reservoir, the water source received by the reservoir is sent to the water purification plant, and it will be treated by the Taiwan Water Company or the Taipei Water Works Office. Go to everyone's home, "We want to see it, it ran 100 kilometers to see us, how can we not cherish it?"

In addition, it is often reported that the nine frogs in Sun Moon Lake are used as an indicator to evaluate the water regime, and they directly say, "The nine frogs in Sun Moon Lake have all surfaced. Will water storage have any impact?"

Lai Jianxin explained that the place where the 9 frogs are standing is on the high mountain next to the Sun Moon Lake area. "When the 9 frogs are exposed, Sun Moon Lake still has 84% ​​of its water storage capacity", not to mention that Sun Moon Lake is a pumped-storage reservoir. , the water level often fluctuates.

This time, 16 excellent water-saving units stood out, including the General Management Office of Taipower Corporation and the Houli Plant of AU Optronics Corporation. The former built a smart water resource storage and reuse monitoring system to adjust water allocation in real time, while the latter set up a water management center. Through the water protection net, the water consumption of the whole plant is monitored, and the waste water is recycled and reused through the biological and membrane systems, which greatly improves the water-saving efficiency.

In addition, ASE Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Tujing No. 2 Plant B (K12) recycles waste water and renews the water-saving system, which also achieves excellent water management and water-saving recycling performance.

Taiwan Petroleum Corporation Exploration and Production Research Institute, Tainan City Guanmiao District Office, and TSMC’s Third Wafer Fab” have all invested in improving water equipment and implementing measures such as checking and repairing pipeline leaks, demonstrating the demeanor of working hard to save water.

In the commercial category, "Pacific Sogo Department Store Co., Ltd." (Tianmu Branch) and "Far Eastern Department Store Co., Ltd." (Tainan Branch) won the awards.

Lai Jianxin explained that Pacific Sogo Department Store in Tienmu also raised the temperature of the main unit of ice water by 1 degree through a small action, which can effectively save water without affecting the safety of water use or the consumption quality of customers.

The "Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology" in the school group installs rainwater storage equipment in the campus buildings, draws domestic sewage to the sewage treatment plant for treatment, and then waters the campus trees and green areas to implement the concept of environmental protection and environmental education.
