70% of the drinking water in Hsinchu County depends on the Touqian River Basin, but along the coast there are not only landfills, but also wafers and packaging factories. Industrial waste water is discharged into the stream, making people's health a hidden concern. Even though the Hsinchu county government claimed that the discharge water was qualified, the independent inspection of the ring regiment found that the electrical conductivity exceeded the standard value, "it is not water that people can drink at all." The candidates for mayor of Hsinchu County are required to put forward specific measures to implement the separation of irrigation and drainage and drinking and drainage within four years.

The ring regiment actually went to nine locations to test, the EC was only 122.9 μ S / cm in the places not contaminated by the factory. After factory pollution, the conductivity increased to 150 μ S / cm, and the standard of irrigation water conductivity was 750 μ S / cm. However, the measured conductivity of the silicon lattice factory reached 1166 μ S / cm, that of Taiwan Star 821 μ S / cm, and that of Mingxing Optoelectronics exceeded 1000 μ S / cm each time.

Chen Cuiqin, convener of the "We want to drink clean water," said that these water quality may contain heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium, arsenic, and lead, leading to excessive electrical conductivity. "waste water, which is not even suitable for irrigation water, is the source of drinking water and irrigation water for Hsinchu people. This kind of water flows into the Touqian River and becomes the water we soak milk for our children to drink and the water we use to irrigate rice. "
