The geological condition in Taiwan is complex owing to active orogeny and seismic activity.In addition, extreme hydrological events tend to increase in recent decades.These unfavorable conditions are crucial for the safety of flood-protection structures.The Water Resources Agency (WRA) has issued “The Instructions on site investigation for flood-protection project by WRA, MOEA” to specify the required geological investigation for flood-protection projects in WRA and its subordinate agencies.The objective of this project is to draft a site-investigation manual for flood-protection structures on the basis of the above-mentioned Instructions.
