PREFACE

With rapid economic growth in recent years, the demand for additional agricultural, industrial and public water supplies in Taiwan increase drastically each year. In compliance with comprehensive development program for Taiwan, the Commission is dividing the island into seven water resources regions, each as an integral unit to provide optimum economic use of the water resources by coordinated control and distribution in commensurate with social and economic development.

Hydrologic data is the basic information for water resources management and development. However, the existing hydrologic stations on the rivers in Taiwan were established by various agencies for different purposes and their measuring methods are diversive. The Commission, therefore collected data of the main hydrologic stations on the major rivers, the original records covering period from the establishment of the said stations to 1970. These data were analyzed and consolidated into “Hydrological Year Book of Taiwan, 1970” in 1972. The year books for 1971 and 1972 were also published subsequently since then. This is one of the series for 1973 published annually as references for agencies related to water resources planning and development.
