Problems

For the last couple of decades Taiwan has been hit by several typhoons and heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. Thereby landslides from up in the mountains will occur and destroy everything on it’s path down to the rivers. All this material will flow in the river, leaving the rivers with a large supply of sediment combined with the extra waterflow from the rain. This leads in overflowing banks, peak water level and flow rate at the lowest point in Taipei.   Furthermore, over the rest of the year it barely rains in Taiwan, which leads to drought and water shortage. Also, because of the sediment the drink water basins will be too turbid for clean water supply.

Feicui Dam

The Feicui Dam is a double curvature concrete forming the Feicui Reservoir. Public access is heavily restricted in order to protect water quality, which is among the highest of Taiwan's reservoirs.
