The modern construction of the water supply aims at both, preventing infectious diseases and supply water to developing residence areas after the industrial revolution. The watercourse system in Gangshan, established in Taisho Year 14 (Japanese Imperial Period) (1925) eliminated malaria, cholera, amoebiasis and other diseases in Gangshan. Moreover, it provides running water instead of pumping water from wells. The quality of drinking water for local residents is further enhanced. After the Japan-colonial era the completion of the watercourse system brought convenience, sanitation of water supply to the locals. What’s more, after the A-Kung-Tien Reservoir was completed, it has promoted Gangshan’s prosperity. The land development was sped-up and widespread. However, because the drainage and water discharge zones of A-Kung-Tien River were altered for the construction of new residence areas and factories, as a consequence the scale of floods has continued expanding. The construction and expansion of the watercourse system; the construction and abandonment of water towers; and the disuse of the water plant to several constructions of A-Kung-Tien Reservoir, these all reflect water-related problems in the development of Gangshan and the city planning by the relevant governmental institutions. Apparently, the problem of water control and water resource is a key problem: how mankind and nature keep on living with each other and how science keeps balanced with nature. |
