Jhuoshuei River is one of the most important rivers in the central Taiwan. It nourishes the plentiful agricultural productions and magnificent culture of Changhua and Yunlin County.
However, with human development along the river, the ecological environment has changed. Every year from November to March, the northeast monsoon brings dust from the sandbank to the nearby area causing damage. The hard embankment and the waste water from livestock industries have also damaged the environment of Jhuoshuei River region. In order to improve the environment of the Changhua and Yunlin area and create a productive, lively ecological corridor, a master plan is proposed including the Sand-Binding Forest,constructed wetlands, and bike/pedestrian trails.
1. Sand-Binding Forest:
A ground survey of area plants species, land ownership, and agricultural productions along the Jhuoshuei River was generated and used as a reference for the connection of the Sand-Binding Forest, green embankment, fugitive dust control and watermelon field management.
2. Constructed Wetland:
The water quality of the Dayilun and Bajiaoting drainages were monitored and analyzed providing the foundation for the later Shuitang, Dayilun and Bajiaoting wetland project. A 200 m2 wetland model was also built. In the future, the un-leased public land will become ponds and wetlands, gradually reducing the dust from the uncovered-land.
3. Bike and Pedestrian Trails:
The green embankment is proposed to replace the existing hard embankment. A bike and pedestrian trail loop is planned on the top of the green embankment and will connect to the rural trails along the Jhuoshuei River. Green transportation and the low-carbon in-depth trip is also suggested in the plan.
In this report, this ecological plan is proposed to create an environmental protective forest to control the dust, to build ponds and wetlands to reduce the uncovered-land, and to encourage the in-depth trip via green bike trail.
