This proceedings contains the papers presented at the Third
International Conference on Watershed Management, which was held on
December 11 through 14, 2001 at National Taiwan University in
Taipei, Taiwan. The conference was successful in meeting its
objective of gathering water management experts from the United
States, Japan, and Taiwan to discuss water supply and water
pollution issues in a sustainable context. The issues are of
critical importance not only to Taiwan, but countries throughout
the Pacific Rim. More than twenty-five papers were presented by
invited speakers on subjects such as new technologies for erosion
and sediment control, non-point source and urban stormwater
pollution reduction, and hazard mitigation. Facilitated round table
discussions focused on sustainable watershed management strategies,
debris flow, and river restoration. The conference concluded with a
technical tour of Taiwan's Feitsui Reservoir and the surrounding
watershed. The day-long tour focused on illustrating existing
problems, highlighting successful solutions, and fostering dialogue
among the participants. Both the round table discussions and
technical tour included invited participants from academia, local
and federal government, and the private sector. Although the
conference was located in Taiwan, many papers focused on the
commonality of problems and solutions between the United States and
Taiwan and other papers focused on how to apply lessons learned in
United States to problems elsewhere.
