Participate in TIWW 2023 to locate new Business opportunities for drought relief
In 2021, Taiwan experienced the drought of the century. To this day, people
still remember how water rationing inflicted huge loss in daily life activities,
industries, and farmland. However, as climate change intensifies, water shortage
in Taiwan may further worsen in the foreseeable future. According to statistics,
precipitation in Taiwan this spring reached the lowest point in 20 years, and no
typhoon has made landfall on this island for 3 years and 8 months. Besides, the
precipitation in the southern region has dropped to less than 40% of the
previous average rainfall with no record of heavy rain for more than 600 days.

century in 2021. Meteorologists have also warned that, drought may hit Taiwan
every two to three years in the future.

From the sea and from land: the new ways to avoid
being left without water
Three out of four people in the world have access to safely managed
drinking water. Announced by the World Bank in 2020, it's an encouraging
number given that 20 years ago only 62 percent of the world's population
had access to a safe water source free from contamination, improved by a
pipe, a drilled well or a readily available local well. Today that
number has risen to 74 percent.
