Introduction of Taiwan Sediment Quality Information System
Since 2010, the Taiwan Ministry of Environment (MOENV) has incorporated sediment quality management into the "Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act", and has formulated the supporting legal systems, administrative rules, and guidelines for sediment quality management year by year. Starting from 2014, authorities in charge of water bodies such as rivers, reservoirs, irrigation canals, etc. should regularly analyze the sediment quality at least once every five years, and publicly announce the state of sediment quality.
The Taiwan Sediment Quality Information System has integrated sediment quality analysis data reported over the years and has a perfect function to inquire and display the information. users can learn about what is the sediment, the sediment quality reporting process and investigation methods, sediment quality indicators, limits, analyzing methods, and other related information. The Sediment quality spatial / data query tool may display the sediment quality of numerous water bodies on the geographic information system map. The original data may be downloaded as a reference for the water environment management, effectively understanding the historical patterns of the sediment quality changes in Taiwan.
