The results of water quality monitoring are the preliminary information for understanding water quality status as well as spatial and temporal variation trends. They also play an important role when it comes to the policies relating to the formulation of river basin protection tactics and river remediation scheme, prevention of reservoir eutrophication, groundwater pollution control and protection of maritime space water quality. Therefore, Taiwan government spends huge amounts of money with massive manpower on water quality monitoring and data collection every year. EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) presented water quality data on “Environmental Water Quality Information” website and update monitoring results regularly. Governments, scholars, and the public, etc. are welcomed to inquiry water quality information through this website.

Except maintaining the existing system function, continuous acquisition and development of new features are necessary to enhance the integrity and diversity of water environment data. The project goals of this year include furthering cross-departmental water quality information exchanging, setting up a platform of water quality data interchanging, establishing English website of “Environmental Water Quality Information”, enhancing of statistics analysis and assistance tools of quality assurance and quality control, improving instant transmission system (water quality monitoring tool), and meliorating the ongoing system function.
