A Case Study on the Sustainable Development Indicators of Water Resources in Taiwan
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2008: Ahupua'A
Abstract
This study establishes a sustainable development indicators (SDIs) system of water resources in Taiwan. The SDIs of water resources are based on Driving Force-State-Response framework, which was developed by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. This framework is categorized into four dimensions: environmental, economical, social, and institutional. A total of twenty-two SDIs of water resources in Taiwan from 1991 to 2004 are computed and evaluated. The results of study reveal the indicator scores for intensity of groundwater use, agricultural water use, and leakage rate of water supply pipelines are against the sustainability. To reduce groundwater use, agricultural water use and leakage rate of water supply is greatly needed to improve the sustainability of water resources in Taiwan.
