Nine out of Taiwan’s ten most affluent neighborhoods are located in the Eastern District of Hsinchu City and Zhubei City in neighboring Hsinchu County. All these communities get their tap water from the Shangping River, one of the upstream tributaries of the Touqian River. In 1983 roughly 92 percent of the Touqian River basin was designated a “tap water water quality and quantity protection area” . A group of activist mothers has been trekking the length of the river to call out pollution sources such as mounds of discarded trash in order to preserve the quality of the river water. (cw.com.tw).
