| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 環境工程學研究所 === 104 === The purpose of this study is to identify the differences of laws and regulations regarding the existing water quality monitoring schemes among China, European Union, United States, and Taiwan, and to understand the present capability of continuous monitoring technologies in Taiwan. To achieve these, the study first critically compares the laws and regulations currently adopted in the four jurisdictions followed by surveying 30 manufacturers and agents of continuous water quality monitoring equipment in Taiwan with a questionnaire. The SPSS software was used to analyze the responses obtained from the questionnaire. The results indicated that the differences of the laws and regulations among the four jurisdictions mostly lie in the differences in management system, monitoring purposes, the sources of funding, site selections, the monitoring factors, sampling frequencies, sampling systems, monitoring equipment, data transmission methods and data transmission frequencies. To enhance the effectiveness of water quality monitoring in Taiwan, this study suggests that Taiwan government can establish a system which is based on manual sampling and laboratory analysis methods complemented by continuous monitoring of water quality.
