NCKU is minimizing alteration of aquatic ecosystems (plan)
Since soil and groundwater environments are the final receptors of various pollutants, and considering that soil and groundwater pollution is often non-sensory and difficult to detect, issues typically go unnoticed until the pollution worsens. This leads to significant costs and time required for remediation efforts. With the implementation of the "Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act" in 2000, soil and groundwater quality has gradually gained attention. By monitoring the quality of soil and groundwater, suspected pollution situations can be identified. Investigations into the potential sources and extent of pollution can then be conducted. Early detection and remediation can save costs and maintain sustainable living environments.
Furthermore, the Institute of Marine Affairs and Technology at NCKU has initiated the research project titled "Adsorption of Microplastics and Persistent Organic Pollutants in Various Matrices of the Marine Food Chain" this year. This research facilitates the development of more effective conservation and management strategies, ensuring the stability and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
- Waste liquid classification steps of laboratory, published by Center for Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Protection
NCKU has provided guidance and specifications for drainage quality in school dormitories and laboratories. In particular, there are clear definitions and regulated disposal methods for laboratory hazardous materials, ensuring that the disposal of solid and liquid laboratory waste does not adversely affect the water quality and avoids contaminating nearby bodies of water.
- "NCKU's 'Soil and Water Remediation and Resource Recycling International Workshop' and 'International Conference on Sustainable Water Environment' will be held on the 28th, aiming to lead the Asia-Pacific region in the sustainable utilization of soil and water resources.
NCKU has long focused on the sustainable use of soil and water resources and actively promotes interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration at the international level. At the 'International Workshop on Soil and Water Remediation and Resource Recycling' and the 'International Conference on Sustainable Water Environment,' NCKU brings together experts and scholars from the Asia-Pacific region to discuss the latest research and practical experiences in water resource management, pollution prevention, and resource recycling. Through these professional exchange platforms, NCKU not only demonstrates its leadership in environmental governance and sustainable water utilization but also further promotes knowledge sharing and international collaboration. By leveraging monitoring and data analysis, the university aims to minimize impacts on aquatic ecosystems and ensure efficiency and sustainability throughout the environmental restoration process.
- Turning Wastewater into High-Tech Water: NCKU Department of Environmental Engineering Joins Hands with Tainan City Government to Build Sustainable Water Resources.
The Department of Environmental Engineering at NCKU, in collaboration with the Tainan City Government, has launched an innovative project to 'convert wastewater into high-tech reusable water.' This initiative successfully transforms domestic wastewater, which would otherwise pose an environmental burden, into reclaimed water suitable for industrial reuse.Through this collaboration, NCKU not only demonstrates its technical research capabilities but also actively applies its research outcomes to local governance, realizing a sustainable 'industry-government-academia' partnership model. The project focuses on researching methods for wastewater recycling and reuse, and aims to utilize the daily collected wastewater through smart monitoring of water quality. By integrating AI technology to process and consolidate data, the project creates a more precise water quality monitoring system.- Research of Water Resource Environment in NCKU
The Hydraulic Laboratory of NCKU leverages environmental monitoring programs, land subsidence prevention, and water resources management initiatives to establish a robust foundation in the fields of water resources and the environment. This includes enhancing the capacity for surface water analysis and prediction, thereby creating a comprehensive research and development base for water resource applications.
- Soil and Groundwater Monitoring, Investigation, and Pollution Remediation
