Impact and Adaptation Strategies in Response to Climate Change on Taiwan’s Water Resources

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to the impact of global climate change on land use, water resources and environment in Taiwan, the utmost essential move to do now is to refer to the experience and practices of advanced countries that help guiding the development of land and water resources conservation orderly. Secondly, the purpose of this paper is to discuss Taiwan’s flooding and water resources management issues. Finally, the paper would review the impact and adaptation strategies in response to climate change on Taiwan’s water resources to serve as a reference for relevant decision-making units of government. This paper believes that only if all residents jointly participate in reducing and adapting to the impacts caused by climate change can we avoid the possible survival crisis in the future.
