It sustains all living things. Absent water, life ceases. Water is not only one of the most precious but also the most necessary sustainable resources on earth. Taiwan is an island country. Although the annual rainfall in Taiwan reaches 2,500mm which is 2.5 times the world average, because3/4 of annual rainfall concentrates in the wet season, yet people in Taiwan face water shortages regularly, especially in the dry season. As the nation’s economic activities keep increasing, so does the population. As a result, Taiwan can not sustain an ever-increasing use of water. It has reached the limits of available water resources. Taiwan now is considered as a country with severe problem encountered with the shortage of water resources. As individuals in Taiwan, people are encouraged to help protecting and conserving their precious water resources. World water monitoring day is a global educational and outreach event designed to promoted personal care and individual involvement in the protection of our world water resources. The event wants to deliver a simple message that it is not only the responsibility of governments to assure clean and safe water for every single adult and child. It is up to us, the citizens of the world, and all the users of water, to get involved and stay involved in the protection of the waters of the world. The efforts for Water Monitoring Day fit Taiwan’s current needs in protecting our precious water sources. As a community on earth, Taiwan EPA broadly inviting school teachers and kits, NGOs and general public to join the WWMD event since 2003. For these efforts, Taiwan ranked second (only next to U.S.) within the world for number of registered monitoring sites and number of participants for WWMD in 2003, and 2004. Taiwan is well recognized for its outstanding success in joining the international educational outreach.水質監測水質世界水質監測日水污染World Water Monitoring Daywater qualitywater pollution94年參與第三屆世界水質監測日活動計畫
