Abstract: Chang-Hwa reclamation area, constructed by filling the drawn sand from the sea, is the largest reclaimed industrial area, reaching 3600 hectares, in Taiwan. To prevent this area from human-caused environmental disasters, the related researches were conducted since 1990 and consist of oceanography, meteorology, water quality, collection of basic biological data, morphological evolution, seawall scouring, ground water monitoring, reclamation subsidence, forecast of surrounding river delivery function, storm surge in the dividing channels, variations of the shoreline as well as simulation of pollutant dispersion and so on. In addition, a monitoring system will also be set up and used to inspect the environment for under-construction (which will be started on April, 1993) and for after-implementation operation.
