Plans Finalized for Groundwater Pollution Early Warning System in Northern Taiwan

摘要

In August the EPA finalized plans for establishing a groundwater quality early warning monitoring network in areas susceptible to serious groundwater pollution in northern Taiwan. In the beginning stage, the plan calls for setting up 87 monitoring wells around 20 industrial parks in northern Taiwan, where regular monitoring will be conducted. This will facilitate early discovery of abnormal conditions in areas susceptible to serious groundwater pollution so that polluters can be tracked down and pollution can be prevented from spreading.
