Abstract
Annual average precipitation in Taiwan is 2,500 mm which is about three times the world average. However, because of its high population density (23 million), the average annual precipitation per capita is 4,500 m 3 which is only sixth of the world average. Due to other natural factors, such as uneven temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation and steep slope of rivers, which make water resources management in Taiwan more difficult. Taiwan also is facing other problems, such as people’s opposition of building new large dams. This paper reports the stages of water resources development in Taiwan, discusses the important issues of water resources management and suggests some solutions.
