Central Region Water Resources Branch, the Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and our Foundation jointly organized the site visit and seminar for " Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project Promotion and Implementation", which was held on 11/16 at the Lake Area Engineering Office for the Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project.
 
This event, co-hosted by the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering of NTU, the Water Resources Committee of the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, the Sustainable Development Committee of the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, BES Engineering Corp., Sinotech Engineering Consultants Inc., and Sinotech Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd., specially invited professionals from relevant industries, government officials, and academia to participate. Through mutual discussions and on-site visits, participants from various sectors gained a more in-depth understanding of the Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project.
 
The " Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project" involves the installation of water intake facilities on the left bank of the Wu River, drawing surface water from the Wu River into the artificial lake for the purpose of regulating water in abundance and alleviating water in scarcity. Upon completion, the project is expected to provide a daily total of 250,000 tons of water for domestic use in the Changhua and Nantou Caotun areas. This will help mitigate land subsidence issues in the Changhua region caused by excessive groundwater pumping, stabilize the regional water supply, boost water supply resilience in the central region, and, with a focus on water resource utilization and conservation, integrate the project with the ecological environment to achieve sustainable management goals.

After a brief lunch break, the afternoon session moved to the Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Management Center. Technical Manager Liao Zhe-Min from Sinotech Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd. and Director Yang Zhi-Yuan from BES Engineering Corp. respectively provided explanations on the "Wu River Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project - Lake Area Engineering Planning and Design" and "Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project Lake Area Engineering Construction Sharing." Following their presentations, a comprehensive discussion ensued.
 
The discussions were lively, fostering a rich exchange between academic and practical perspectives. After the seminar, all participants were led by staff members on a field visit, including the Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Management Center and the Lake Area A of Niaozueitan Artificial Lake. From the park overlooking the water intake facilities, detailed explanations during the guided tour further enhanced everyone's understanding of the significance and challenges involved in promoting the Niaozueitan Artificial Lake Project.
