Water Quality Improvement Management Project for Local Government

Absrtact
Completion of 2005 annual water quality improvement assessment at all counties, including establishing assessment procedures, conducting seminars for the assessors’ and county government, and holding 3 on-site assessments. A showcasing event was held on 2005/10/18 at I-Lan County, and was used as a reference for the second and final on-site assessment. 12 engineering audits were completed in 2005. Among them, 10 were graded as “good”, 2 were graded as “normal”. Common non-compliances included inappropriate documentation and engineering quality. A showcasing event for engineering auditing has been held on 2005/12/02 at the Kaohsiung County. Assessments on local government by other parallel departments have been completed, and action plans for improvement have been proposed and included in the assessment in the following year. The data build function and query system expansion have been completed, and 2,500 photos have been uploaded following the development of the photo upload feature. Additionally, “water quality maintenance and improvement plan – data upload and discussion forum website” has been developed, and training has been conducted to facilitate idea exchanges between the central and local governments. Assistance to reviewing the 2006 outsourcing and funding projects has been provided, which included developing funding guidelines, running seminars at different counties and cities, and 11 regional assessment meetings. Overall 54 projects have been assessed. Water quality indicator selection procedures have been completed, and survey by questionnaire conducted. The outcome indicated that symbols and maps were the preferred indicators. Estimations of the 2004 Green GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for point source pollutant loading were determined to be 121,965 tons/yr-BOD, 277,165 tons/yr-COD, 117,573 tons/yr-SS, and 21,954 tons/yr-NH3-N. The operating and maintenance cost of pig farming was between 10,197 and 62,231 dollars/ton-BOD, and the cost reduced as scale of farming increased. A reduction of 10,400 kg/day-BOD and 4,984 kg/day-NH3-N at Kaoping river, and a reduction of 302 kg/day-NH3-N at the upper reaches of Putzi river would be needed if the water quality compliances were to be achieved.
