Tatu Estuary is an ecological area where economical, cultural, leisure and academic research potentials are enormous. Recent researches indicated that the water quality of the upper streams remained at safety conditions. However, the water body of the downstream sections starting from the outfall of the Taiwan Chemical Fabric Company (TCFC) effluent has been seriously polluted. Due to the effect of tidal flow in this area of the river, it has been very difficult for the accumulated pollutants to dispel and the situation has reached a severe level. This study proposed that legislation should be established in order to reduce and to control the industrial wastes entering the river. To cope with the effort in environmental conservation, it is hoped that water resources of Tatu Chi (River) can be used more effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
