"For now, besides raising the dikes and adding offshore breakwaters, the Water Conservancy Bureau is actively seeking alternative water sources," Hung Ping-lin says. It is hoped that weirs may someday be built on Linpien Stream and a reservoir constructed on Lili Creek to supply water downstream.
「為今之計，除了加高海堤、興建離岸堤以治標外，水利局也正積極尋找替代水源以治本」，洪炳麟說。由於台灣省的河川多屬荒溪型，只在雨後有較充沛的水量，所以希望在林邊溪建攔河堰，同時在林邊溪上游的力力溪建水庫，把雨水儲存起來，再導到下游利用。
