Ecological engineering, as an emerging
engineering discipline, provides new opportunities
in both ecology and engineering.
Introduction
Ecological engineering has been developed and showed
a very important position in river construction in
Taiwan.
For the river construction did not care about the
ecology as usual, and focused only on the safety and
utility, the environment was ignorantly destroyed.
This situation brings many ecological engineering
missing problems.
Introduction
Therefore, planting trees took the place of ecological
engineering; rock river bank took the place of multi-
habitat,key point and real value of ecological
engineering were disregarded.
What was the goal of construction?
How could we make it in correct method?
What were the target bios of this protection or
preserve construction?
Introduction
In fact, the truly value of ecological
engineering is protecting the niches of each
species within the constructive environment.
This value is based on the realization of
physical environment of niche, ecological
relationship between species and corridor
requirement in landscape scale.
Introduction
Introduction
For this reason, ecological research is necessary to develop ecological engineering.
At present , the researches about bio-indicators in Taiwan were mostly focus on the indicate the variety of environment-benthic algae,fish, aquatic insect

Sampling Sampling Using GPS record and make sure the sampling area locate.
Water sampling
Survey water temperature, transparency , pH, conductivity , salinity directly in stream.
Collect 2 bottles of 1000 ML stream water. After taking the sampling. Put it in 4 ºC or lower to preserve ,in order to analysis (NO3) , (PO4) and (NH3) concentration by the
Color meter in 24 hours.
Collect 1 bottle of 100 ML water .Fixed of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) make sampling. Analysis.

ConclusionConclusion
Finding out the organism on upriver is less than on downriver and infer maybe velocity.From this study, we find seasons are influential to organism. As temperature rose and tourists came,
Chiroromus not only reveal on polluted site or nearby downstream but distribute widely. Therefore, Chiroromus is not absolute polluted index.
ConclusionConclusion Another index species Tubifex is obvious seen on grave polluted area such as downstream with highly population density and developing industry.
The PO4 value of downstream is higher obviously. It’
s might due to substance deposit and industrial chemical fertilizer or home liquid waste drainage run to river.
DO on upriver is higher than on downriver. The conclusion shown high conductivity on downstream and it might be influenced by tide.
Conclusions:Conclusions: Ecological engineering offers new opportunities for the
protection and enhancement of the environment.Ecological engineering: recognizes environmental value, develops an appreciation of the integration of
engineering design and ecosystem services, and, seeks ecologically relevant design options that are
appropriate to the project and sustainable over time.
Further ResearchFurther Research Monitoring river organism can reflect not
only the water quality directly, but the changing of water environment more then River Pollution Index (RPI)
To ecological engineering, monitoring river organism is unexpendable.
Thus, this study needs longer monitoring to provide complete data.
Ecological engineering also benefits from the practices of traditional disciplines,
which can provide a core of acceptability as this field reaches to the state-of-theart.
