1. Stabilize the water supply in the park
Manufacturers in CTSP Park use water from Taiwan Water Corporation, and the water sources in each park are different due to the scheduling of Taiwan Water Corporation, namely:
In recent years, due to the influence of climate change, the rainfall in our country has been uneven, and the frequency of droughts and floods is high, which not only has a potential impact on the production and operation of the park, but also on people are more concerned about the issue that industrial water may affect people's livelihood. In order to alleviate the pressure on regional water resources, the bureau actively communicates and coordinates with government units, and the BOT case of the Shuinan water recycling center subsidized by the central government is under construction and is expected to be completed in 2024. In the future, it can supply 10,000 tons of recycled water every day, provide stable industrial water for CTSP Taichung Park, and promote the overall industrial development. In addition, in response to the change of water conditions, CTSP Bureau takes the following drought-resistant measures to face the severe water conditions and stabilize the water demand of the park.
2. Water-saving counseling in the park
CTSP Bureau carries out statistics, management and dispatching of water and electricity consumption for users in NSTC Science Park in accordance with the Measures for the Control of Water and Electricity Counseling. In order to alleviate the potential impact of water resources on the production of the park, the bureau continues to provide counseling and publicity on water saving and water recovery. The water consumption data of the park in recent three years are as follows:
Since 2007, CTSP has conducted water-saving counseling for 48 times so far, with a cumulative water-saving potential of 11.98 million M3/year, which can equate to save 7.54 water of Shigangba Reservoir every year (the effective capacity of Shigangba is 1.605 million M3) and reduce the emission of 1,870 metric tons of CO2e/ year. In 2023, CTSP conducted water-saving counseling for 3 times, with a total water-saving potential of 153,333. In addition, according to the CO2e of 1-degree water announced by Taiwan Water Corporation in 2023, the benefits of 'energy saving and carbon reduction' measures can be converted. For every M3 of tap water saved, the CO2e emission can equate to be reduced by about 0.156 kg, and the CO2e can be reduced by 23.92 metric tons per year.
