Water resources

Taipei area is rich rainfall, but high population density, the average quantity of water is not enough, a high degree of water shortage areas.In fact, solely on the rainfall conditions in Taipei, the frequency and intensity, a damp subtropical monsoonal "rainfall produced water due to topographical

constraints, and higher Xucun able to express ease the shortage of water resources.The used water of the daily necessities of life, the highest proportion of dependent on reservoir water supply. Industrial water, the overall proportion is lower. We

must take effective and reasonable water resources allocation, to make up for water resources is not an average.Taipei area, high water consumption, leading to the problem of water resources. Government and the competent authority, from the "water" and "Recycling and

reuse" levels to strengthen advocacy, but the effectiveness is still limited. On Water Resources Management Review, can no lo nger be the rate ofimprovement is limited. Some reasons:

(A) the increase of demand for water from the natural increase in population and industrial development, water-saving measures to streamline the amount ofwater is less than half of the increased demand.

(B) water resources development more difficult, has been developed in part by the unusual weather as usual; undeveloped part, due to delays in land acquisition

and other reasons, the availability of water is relatively reduced.(C) high-tech industries increased amount of water needed, a large number of high-quality water has become the upstart of used water, the water caused the

urgency of the subject of other water.

The leakage rate of the Taipei water supply system, refrain from the very contamination ofwater in the pipeline, reducing the good water quality.

The main cause of high water pipeline leakage rate of the Taiwan region, is that thepipeline laid ill and poor construction quality; followed by the impact of pipelinesurrounding environment.

Water quality standards relevant to the potable water quality and water users of the healthand safety, water engineering technology, theoretical research and practical innovationto rigorous and focused, in recent years many of the results

Taipei is a severe water shortage areas, in the face of water shortages, waterconsumption is the increasing number of conditions to be able to water resourcesmanagement into sustainable concept. To develop a reasonable water price is the

most fundamental considerations. 29

Carbon dioxide emissions

CO2: 2006 Taiwan's per capita carbon dioxide emissions by up to 13.19 tonnes, nearly three times the per capita emissions in the world, in addition to theoil exported to foreign countries, the highest in seventh place in the world. After the international trade and forest carbon accumulation adjustment, the netper capita carbon dioxide emissions are still up to 11.01 tonnes. Urgent need to try to reduce as soon as possible. In order to avoid future internationalconventions set to the high per capita net emitter of carbon dioxide charge carbon dioxide emissions and time-consuming, result in an extremely negativeimpact on Taiwan's economic development.

"International Energy Agency (IEA), clarified that the average carbon dioxide emissions in 2004 to 11.26 tons, ranking the world's first 18, not 4, but compared tothe first in Asia.

Shaw Chen Liu, director of the Center of Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica, raised in the Legislative Yuan warned that the energy consumption of theTaiwan region, the degree of carbon dioxide emissions, more serious; from 1990 to 2005, annual per capita carbon dioxide emissions significantly from5.73 t increased to 11.25 tons, the highest in the world's No. 4, after the United States, Australia, Canada. IEA Energy Statistics in reply to CNA inquiries,according to the 2006 study, Taiwan's per capita carbon dioxide emissions of 11.26 tons, ranked 18th in the world, rather than 4.

Carter ranks first in the world up to 49.64 tons, followed by Kuwait, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, the United States, Australia and Canada areranked 6, 7, 8, instead of Taiwan reported 1,2,3. IEA data show that the average carbon dioxide emissions in Asia in first pl ace, followed by ranking theworld's first 25 in South Korea, Japan, 26, highlighting Taiwan's carbon dioxide emissions really high.

Student Stress

Taiwan's average high school students addicted to a network of about 1.96, while the weekly average of about 12.5 hours. The use of the Internet,mainly with social functioning activities such as: E-mail, Facebook, the use of time, life stress, "depression" a great impact on Internet addiction.Students face the pressure of life, to escape the life of frustration and cumulative stress likely to cause Internet addiction. Due to the pressure of living,emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal disorders, by the use of the Internet, the greatest satisfaction is to express the emotions. Thus the networkvirtual interpersonal relationships and a warm emotional support, and high school students to indulge in this kind of network interactive activities.However, by this interaction, trying to evade a deeper self -esteem and personality types of defects is limited.

Taiwan junior high school students an average of 7.5 hours of sleep, high school students slept an average of 6.8 hours. The number of young peoplein Taiwan is the average daily sleep about 0.5 hours less than the international average. Lack of sleep may affect growth, bu t also affect braindevelopment. In addition, lack of sleep of youth in behavior during the day, hyperactivity and irritability, anxiety and irri tability. However, many studentsthroughout the week, Monday to five often because the tutorial with the huge academic pressure, not very easy to want to go to bed early.

Taiwanese students pressure in the end how much can be seen from the news ofstudent suicide. At the top of the founding of secondary schools in Taiwan over thepast four years, it has three students choose to commit suicide to end their livesbecause of academic pressure. 72.57% that the pressure of learning in the school,18 percent of normal, and only 9.3% in school fairly easily, there are many studentsin an interview to recognize because of academic pressure to commit suicide idea.
