Toward Integrated Water Resource Strategies in Taiwan: A Cross-Disciplinary Review of Hydrological Variability, Infrastructure Design, and Cultural-Ecological Integration
Author(s): Luo Ching-Ruey*
Taiwan faces significant water resource challenges driven by pronounced seasonal variability, regional hydrological contrasts, and growing anthropogenic pressures. To mitigate shortages and uneven distribution, this article emphasizes the urgent need for integrated water resource management that jointly considers surface water and groundwater. This research proposes an optimized Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) framework for regions with high seasonal variability. Key tech- nical contributions include spatial sediment dynamics analysis for reservoir longevity and differentiated rainwater harvesting guidelines based on regional hydro-climatic profiles in Northern and Southern Taiwan. Building on principles of sustainability and resilience, we synthesize recent advances in hydrological modeling, sediment transport analysis, and infrastructure optimi- zation—including re..
