Due to the dense population and rapid economic development of the Tamshui River, the largest estuarine system of the island, Taiwan is studying the river’s hydrodynamic and water quality. Dirty water, air, soil and mudslides pose a threat to public health, causing deaths and property losses during seasons of typhoon and heavy rain. Tele-immersion tools enable researchers to visualize and analyze the computed results.
