JRRN secretariat was asked by JRRN members to assist the Taiwanese government staff with the inspections of case studies of improved water environments (water treatment and water reuse) in Japan. The JRRN Secretariat supported preparatory coordination with inspection sites and two-day site visits.
They visited the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, Kogasaki Purification Facilities (for the rock bed-contact purification of the Sakagawa River), and Tokyo Metropolitan Ochiai Water Reclamation Center. The inspections were meaningful thanks to briefing by facility staff and an exchange of opinions.
