With the rapid development of information technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and wireless communications, the New Taipei City Government has actively promoted the smart flood control network to promote the construction plan and rainwater and sewer water level monitoring systems, setting up a total of 120 water level monitoring stations, 35 low drainage monitoring facilities to increase disaster prevention, early warning and decision-making capabilities, and strengthen disaster resilience.

Central Taiwan Science Industrial Park is located near the Taichung Main City Area, where the industry and commerce are developing prosperously. With great geographic position, this area is the optimal choice to set up and operate distribution center as well as introduce optoelectronics, precision machineries, and semiconductor industries. People are encouraged to do research and manufacture high-tech products in order to stimulate the development of industrial technology. By utilizing IoT technique, many water monitoring stations were set up to continuously measure water level, flow, rainfall and upload data through the Internet to Cloud system for real-time monitoring and long-term observation.

Over 60 sets of intelligent monitoring equipment for rainfall, water level, and flow have been installed in more than 20 major rivers across Taiwan, including Lanyang River, Dajia River, Zhuoshui River, Bazhang River, Yanshui River, Kaoping River, Donggang River, etc. This enables rapid identification of disaster locations and integration of hydrological information, flood forecasts, water supply alerts, and flood forecasts to anticipate disaster situations and facilitate proactive deployment.
