The Volunteer-Training and River-Patrolling Work for Watching and Protecting the Tamshui River

Absrtact
We finished nine main work items in this project: 1. To hold a learning seminar on courses in water resource at community colleges. 2. To hold six workshops on training volunteers for river patrol of the Tamshui River, training 300 volunteers in total to protect the Tamshui River. 3. To set up the Environment Monitoring Communities Collective (EMCC;http://www2.coolloud.org.tw/user/emcc/xoops/modules/tinyd0/), routinely posting information of group patrol activities and articles related to the vision workshops held by this project; to promote this platform of free learning and experience interchange to attract more people to use it. 4. To survey the trails by the riversides of the Tamshui River and conduct river patrol. 5. To set up standard operating procedures of volunteers for river patrol. 6. To make promotional brochures of patrolling the Tamshui River. 7. To visit the river-related public and private sectors. 8. To hold exhibitions of displaying the outcomes of the river patrols on holidays and those on water quality monitoring days. 9. To report patrol results and engage in media marketing. This project integrates the outcomes of the work items mentioned above and proposes the following suggestions for similar projects of river volunteers training and river patrol in the future. To broaden the visibility of guarding the Tamshui River, they include recruiting river volunteers on a broader scale and training them, lobbying related governmental units to set up placards of the reporting hotline for river patrol, encouraging local governments to routinely disclose the information of river control, promoting non-governmental groups to exchange experiences, continuing establishing trails by the riversides of the Tamshui River and holding force-joining activities of patrols around the Tamshui River Basin, promoting fixed-time and fixed-spot interpretation by developing personnel of guiding and interpreting work by riversides, and interconnecting with media to report and distribute information of caring for the Tamshui River.
