早安～是不是對台灣缺水越來越有感了呢？
來看看各行各業怎麼平衡用水吧！
乾旱危機中的台灣：保晶片廠供水，停農田灌溉
Drought in Taiwan Pits Chip Makers Against Farmers
#今天來讀紐約時報
💣Officials are calling the drought Taiwan’s worst in more than half a century. And it is exposing the enormous challenges involved in hosting the island’s semiconductor industry, which is an increasingly indispensable node in the global supply chains for smartphones, cars and other keystones of modern life.
官員們表示，這是半個多世紀以來台灣最嚴重的一次乾旱，它同時也暴露了承載該島半導體產業所面臨的巨大挑戰。該產業是智慧型手機、汽車和其他組成現代生活的主要基石的全球供應鏈中越來越不可或缺的節點。
🚿In 2019, TSMC’s facilities in Hsinchu consumed 63,000 tons of water a day, according to the company, or more than 10 percent of the supply from two local reservoirs, Baoshan and Baoshan Second Reservoir. TSMC recycled more than 86 percent of the water from its manufacturing processes that year, it said, and conserved 3.6 million tons more than it did the year before by increasing recycling and adopting other new measures. But that amount is still small next to the 63 million tons it consumed in 2019 across its Taiwan facilities.
據台積電稱，2019年，該公司在新竹的廠房每天要消耗6.3萬噸水，佔當地兩座水庫——寶山水庫和寶山第二水庫蓄水量的10%以上。台積電表示，當年在生產過程中循環利用了86%以上的用水，藉由增加循環利用和採取其他新措施，比前一年多節約了360萬噸水。但與其2019年全部台灣工廠消耗的6300萬噸水相比，這數字依然很小。
🛀 The “biggest problem” behind Taiwan’s water woes is that the government keeps water tariffs too low, said Wang Hsiao-wen, a professor of hydraulic engineering at National Cheng Kung University. This encourages waste. Households in Taiwan use around 75 gallons of water per person each day, government figures show. Most Western Europeans use less than that, though Americans use more, according to World Bank data.
國立成功大學的水利工程學系教授王筱雯表示，台灣用水危機背後「最大的問題」是政府定下的水價太低了，這等於是鼓勵浪費。政府數據顯示，台灣家庭平均每人每天使用大約75加侖的水（約284公升）。根據世界銀行的數據，大多數西歐人的用水量低於此數字，不過美國人的用水量比這更高。
