The incorruptible government and the work of farmers are positively correlated. In the early years of Taiwan history,water-conservancy projects were launched. The government trained one hundred thousand agricultural specialists, using the blooming agricultural business to raise the industrial estate, and later successfully transformed into a business society, initiating the Taiwan Economic Miracle that makes every generation of Taiwanese proud. Before long, the abnormal phenomena occurred: Water shortage before Typhoon season, flood disasters, and water restrictions after typhoon season. The public complain about it and the farmers cry over it. In fact, people ask no more than a job and the capability to feed their family. Located in sub-tropical area, Taiwan suffers from flood in summertime due to the stunning amount of rainwater brought by typhoons. This is rather trying for all the public constructions in Taiwan. This research aims at, firstly, the discussion of the correlation of flood disaster and agricultural and Taiwanese economic development;thus the independent variable is “flood disaster”, the dependent variable “agricultural development”, “Taiwanese economic development,” and secondly, the correlation of“agricultural development” and “Taiwanese economic development,.” lastly, thecorrelation of river training and agricultural and Taiwanese economic development. This study adopts regression method to analysis the model set for this research. Theresults indicate: 1. Flood disaster and agricultural development are in negative correlation. 2. Agricultural development and Taiwanese economic development are in notable positive correlation. 3. Flood disaster and Taiwanese economic development are not remarkably correlated. 4. River training and agricultural development are in positive correlation. 5. River training and Taiwanese economic development are not remarkably correlated.
