Taiwan's 'Pearl String Project' to Link Reservoirs, Dams for Shared Water Resources

Taiwan is moving forward with the "Pearl String Project" to link its reservoirs and dams, creating a unified water network across the island. Premier Cho Jung-tai emphasized the project's importance during a visit to Tainan, stating it will secure necessary water resources for both Taiwan's vital semiconductor industry and its agricultural sector.

President Lai Ching-te also highlighted the plan during a groundbreaking ceremony for a semiconductor supply chain zone in Pingtung. He noted that the interconnected water system will enable mutual support between the north and south of Taiwan, facilitating shared water resources. This initiative is seen as crucial for supporting key industries and ensuring agricultural stability.

The "Pearl String Project," which connects water sources in the western water corridor, is gradually being completed, allowing both agriculture and chip development to obtain the water resources they need, achieving success for the world.

The "Pearl String Project" aims to create a resilient water supply infrastructure, crucial for an island nation facing potential water scarcity. By ensuring a stable and shared water source, Taiwan seeks to bolster its economic engines, particularly its world-leading semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, and support its agricultural base.
