Features: Rivers transport water from the sky, accompanying erosion, deposition, and other processes that sculpt the land. River terrain is diverse: with exposed rock beds, flat sandy beds, straight channels, meandering channels, and even hairpin bends. Rapids, waterfalls, sinkholes, and unique stones are scattered across Taiwan's streams. Follow the river upstream and discover its roots. Taiwan's Rivers introduces the main streams of Taiwan Island. Beyond the knowledge, your care and conservation actions are equally important—Professor Wang Xin of the Department of Geography and Environmental Resources at National Taiwan University. Taiwan's Rivers consists of three parts:
〈River Characteristics〉 introduces the natural functions and roles of rivers, such as river terrain processes, river ecosystems, and the relationship between reservoirs and rivers.
〈Beautiful Green Belts〉 introduces twenty important rivers across Taiwan, meticulously (drawn), offering an aerial view of each river and its related cultural and geographical landscapes, presenting her complete appearance.
〈The Severity of River Pollution〉 summarizes and reflects on the pollution levels of Taiwan's rivers.
