追求水質水量的永續利用，水庫水域及集水區需要有完整多樣化動植物生態環境，是此條件下的最低要求。本專題針對翡翠水庫本身與周圍地域的特殊生態系設計出版物以及系列周邊，幫助人們理解翡翠水庫的生態多樣性與水源從何而來、如何立法保育，從而使民眾對於水資源更加愛護以及重視，開啟民眾對水資源利用、集水區保育治理的認知。
To ensure the sustainable use of water resources in terms of both quality and quantity, a well-preserved and diverse ecosystem within reservoirs and their surrounding catchment areas is essential. This project focuses on the unique ecological system of Feitsui Reservoir and its surrounding regions, creating publications and related materials to help people understand the reservoir’s biodiversity, the origins of its water supply, and the legal measures in place for conservation. By raising public awareness of water resource management and watershed protection, we aim to foster a greater appreciation for water conservation and encourage responsible usage.

翡翠水庫
Feitsui Reservoir
翡翠水庫為大臺北地區主要使用之水庫，與同樣供應大臺北地區的石門水庫不通，翡翠水庫以不開放觀光及立法嚴格著稱，也因此該地的水質受到的汙染最少，在臺灣水庫之中名列前茅。
翡翠水庫的大壩區視野遼闊，雄偉景觀歷年最受遊客歡迎，令人心曠神怡。大壩周遭山坡地擁有豐富的動植物相，也是觀察生態、水土保育體驗的良好場所。
與此同時，翡翠水庫也兼具水力發電之功能，與其它火力電廠等相比，無需大量煤炭、石油、天然氣等燃料，有利減少溫室氣體排放，每年的發電量可達222,700,000度，且可減少11萬噸的碳排放量，相當於300座大安森林公園的碳匯量。
Feitsui Reservoir is the primary water source for the Greater Taipei area and operates independently from Shimen Reservoir, which also supplies the region. Known for its strict conservation laws and restricted public access, Feitsui Reservoir experiences minimal pollution, making its water quality among the best in Taiwan.
The Feitsui Dam offers breathtaking panoramic views, making it a longtime favorite among visitors. Its impressive landscape provides a sense of tranquility, while the surrounding slopes are home to diverse flora and fauna, making it an ideal location for ecological observation and soil conservation education.
In addition to supplying water, Feitsui Reservoir also generates hydropower, offering a cleaner alternative to fossil fuel-based power plants. Unlike coal, oil, or natural gas power stations, it requires no fuel combustion, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The reservoir produces approximately 222.7 million kWh of electricity annually, offsetting 110,000 tons of carbon emissions—a carbon absorption equivalent to that of 300 Daan Forest Parks.

三大主題
Themes
本專題依據翡翠水庫及其周邊地區的特殊生態系，規劃「生態」、「設施」與「人文」三大主題，透過出版物與相關周邊內容，引導大眾理解翡翠水庫的生物多樣性、水源供應過程及其保育法規。藉由提升公眾對水資源管理與集水區保育的認識，進一步培養社會對水資源的珍視與永續利用意識。
This project is structured around three key themes—ecology, infrastructure, and culture—based on the unique ecosystem of Feitsui Reservoir and its surrounding areas. Through publications and related materials, it seeks to educate the public on the reservoir’s biodiversity, water supply processes, and conservation regulations. By enhancing awareness of water resource management and watershed protection, the project aims to foster a deeper appreciation for water conservation and the importance of sustainable usage.
