In the system maintenance and upgraded operations, the project team not only maintained “National Drinking Water Source Protection Area Geographic Information System”, but also improved the system user friendliness. In addition, to conform the demands of the managers of the drinking water source protection area, the project team also upgraded the corresponding functions in the maintenance management system and the exploring mobile system. In the spatial information integrated maintenance and upgrade operations, in order to integrate spatial information of drinking water source protection area and tap water quality protection area, and to provide powerful geographic information systems, the project team used Google Maps APIs and ESRI ArcIMS collectively to process geographical data to supply spatial results on these two mapping systems. In the status analysis and reviews operations of drinking water source protection area, the project team first analyzed the status on the thirty biggest drinking water source protection areas; and then reviewed these areas by seven different aspects which included policies, laws, organization, funds, management, reward and participation. Then, the results could also provide EPA with reference for drinking water source protection area’s planning and management in the future. In the geographic data collection and integrated operations, the project team collected nine water supply geographic data from Taipei Water Department and approximately fourteen millions cadastral geographic data from EPA this year. Meanwhile, the project team also located and digitized twenty simple water supply facilities. The results could raise the accuracy on land use permit and operations. In the business assistance and operation instructions operations, there were many types of training programs or meetings held this year, which were national drinking water business meetings, EPB business requirement meetings, system operation training programs, land use permit operations and post-flooding areas analysis. In the information securities operations, the project team not only provided monthly information security reports, but also carried out simulated attacks on information security for maintain functioning.
