The current domestic discharge control measures to the water pollution sources mainly target at the waste water discharge concentration level from the water pollution sources. This measure is officially known as the waste water discharge standard. Therefore, to fulfill the standard, establishing the waste water treatment plant in a water pollution source is then becoming an indispensable requirement at the early stage of water pollution control program. However, the effectiveness of the waste water discharge standard for water pollution control works could not be achieved without a proper investigation measure. The purposes of the implementation of incessant investigation and heavy fines are to inhibit the lawlessness and to ensure every water pollution source has conformed with the legal standard. Seemingly, most factories nowadays have established waste water treatment facilities. Many of the factories do not operate the waste water treatment facilities due to the factor of cost saving. Hence, illicit discharges to the water bodies are often seen. The Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) consequently requires to advance the skills of the investigation personnel to be able to locate illicit discharge, to perform waste water treatment facilities functional examination, and to provide professional counseling to the proprietor. In addition, the domestic factories are various in scales, business types, and locations. Thus, pollutant types and volumes are often in vast differences. For this reason, huge human resources and administrative costs would be required for the EPA to correspond to these causes. Consequently, to successfully tackle these problems and difficulties, the environmental protection bodies would need enhanced methods and advanced scientific equipments to assist in investigation works, achieving water pollution control and reducing the environment pollution to the minimum.
