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 whole area is subdivided into seven water resources regions Each region is considered as an integral portion to provide optimum economic utilization of water resources through effective control and distribution in commensurate with social and economic development.

Hydrologic data is the basic requirement for water resources management and development. Hydrometric stations on the rivers in Taiwan were subsequently established by agencies concerned during past years. However, the records are diversive due to various reasons. Therefore this commission has consolidated and analyzed data of the primary hydrologic stations covering whole observation period for publication. The first volume of “Hydrological Year Book of Taiwan” covering data up to 1970 was published in 1972. The Year Books of 1971 through 1976 were also published annually. This volume for the Year 1977 is ready for distribution and it is hoped that the agencies as well as interested planners will take advantage of the data.
