2.Taiwan's reservoirs down to 3 months' water supply: MOA

On March 28^th, The Water Resources Agency (WRA) reported that reservoirs in Taiwan currently only have just over three months' supply of water, which prompted a call by Premier Chen Chien-jen for tighter conservation efforts. After receiving the WRA report at a Cabinet meeting, Chen said climate change research has indicated that Taiwan will experience longer periods without rain, although some downpours will be more intense. As such, the WRA should continue its efforts to improve the water distribution network and develop more water supply sources, particularly in the western half of the country. Chen also called on the Ministry of Agriculture to improve water management and conservation in the agricultural sector, as part of the effort to make Taiwan's water supply more stable and resilient.
