6.5.1) Water management educational opportunities
Provide educational opportunities for local communities to learn about good water management.

To help promote water resources management, the school actively provides relevant educational opportunities, both free and paid, for local communities or people outside the school, including:

1. Free activities and lectures
● Experience sharing by "Shui Shui Rice Warehouse": The General Affairs Office held a series of lectures on environmental sustainability at the Hsu Shou-Chlien International Conference Center in 2021. The former principal of Mi Cang Elementary School in Bali District, Lin Ailing, was invited to share the experiences of "Shui Shui Rice Warehouse" and to introduce how Micang Elementary School properly preserves and utilizes its campus water resources. The lecture was open to the faculty, staff, students, and community residents, free of admission, and a total of 42 people participated. 水水米倉
● Chemistry tour activity: The Science Education Center and the Department of Chemistry jointly promote the popular science education activity "Chemistry on the Go." The trucks are refitted to travel to elementary schools, middle schools, and communities nationwide to conduct experiments and activities to popularize science, combination lectures, sample collection and analysis, experiments, etc., to discuss water-related issues. In 2021, a total of 42 “Chemistry on the Go” was held across Taiwan, serving nearly 10,000 teachers and students. 化學遊樂趣
● Water Resources Forum: On July 29, 2021, the "SIG Water Resources Forum" was held to discuss sustainability issues in the Tamsui area. It united several universities, primary and secondary schools, village offices in the Tamsui area, and the Cambodian NGO ECC School. With the theme being water resources, it discusses four topics: coastal pollution, the relationship between mountains and seas, the water cycle, and the international field. Nine lectures were arranged to share experiences and report on results. 2021SIG水資源論壇
● Water patrol tasks and local ecological observation: The Department of Economics held a water patrol on ancient pathways on December 10, 2021, and conducted water patrol tasks regarding local water resources, assisting local water patrol team members.

2. Paid Degree Programs
The school provides the local community with educational opportunities to learn about water management. The Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering is divided into two groups--a water resources engineering group and an environmental engineering group--to provide education on how to use engineering and scientific means to achieve purposes of benefiting society. The characteristics of the two groups are briefed as follows:
● Water Resources Engineering Group: The courses provided are based on hydrology and water science, with water conservancy engineering as the axis, as well as being supplemented by the field of information computing technology. The subjects covered include fluid mechanics, hydrology, open channel hydraulics, flood prevention, coastal engineering, etc. The main goal of the courses is sustainable utilization of water resources, along with the aim of water beneficiation and the elimination of water harm acts.
● Environmental Engineering Group: The courses provided are based on water supply and sewage engineering and water quality treatment engineering, combined with scientific fields such as waste treatment and recycling and air quality monitoring. The subjects cover environmental chemistry, solid waste, water supply, sewage engineering, microbiology, Water quality management, etc., to achieve the vision of safe, quality water resources, and a sustainable ecological environment. Professional courses related to clean water and sanitation, water quality testing, sewage treatment, waste treatment, etc. are provided by the group.
