This article promotes the controversial recall election of DPP Taoyuan City Councilor Wang Hao-yu. The CEC has announced the election date as January 16, 2021. The author mocks Wang as a self-styled 'at-large' councilor and calls for voters to take to the polls to remove him from office.
Reports indicate that over fifty years since its construction, Shimen Reservoir in Taiwan has accumulated sediment reaching one-third of its total storage capacity, with effective storage reduced to about two-thirds. The Northern Region Water Resources Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that nearly 100 million cubic meters of sediment in the reservoir would cost NT$60 billion to completely remove. Desilting efforts are far outpaced by sedimentation. The article mentions current desilting methods, costs, and future plans to construct anti-sedimentation tunnels to prolong the reservoir's lifespan, along with the author's doubts about the progress and logic of the desilting plan.
