well things like this but no sign of improving the quality (quantity and safety) of the water… Guess most is anyhow about leakage and inefficient usage of water, plus no real plan on what to do except cutting water supply for 2 days.
The main thing with cutting the water supply is likely that people think about how much water they use - and try to reduce it in general for a couple of weeks…
Seems like this year it’s worse than in 2015, isn’t it? I’ll go to Carrefour now and see if I can still get some big buckets and some more 6l water canisters before things get sold out…
yeah - only thing with that plan is that it’s more of the same mainly…
It has loads of rain here so really shouldn’t be a problem in first place… I mean there are quite a few things I don’t understand.
Having diesel powered ships with tourist on a main water reservoir (sun moon lake) is not gonna make sure the water quality does well… Leaking pipes and so on. Then people need to install tanks on their roofs because water supply is shaky, buying water or installing equipment to make sure the water is safe to drink, and so on. Lot’s of money wasted instead of a proper management. Feels a bit 3rd worldly… While in general I feel Taiwan is quite efficiently managed.
Nuclear power plants are the best way to dump money in a country with abundant sunshine (except in the North)… Solar power should be way way more common here. Prices for kw from solar power have become so cheap even in countries far further North than Taiwan they are much cheaper than any other source…
No room for all of it and it would require huge battery facilities to store power. Solar as the primary energy source is a pipe dream. Plus it doesn’t provide the heat needed for industrial use.
It seems no water shortage in Taipei, Tainan and Pingtung and few other cities . Worst is central Taiwan. “Tainan’s Wushantou and Nanhua reservoirs are currently 49 and 47 percent full.”
