The first phase of bioengineering work took place from February 1 to May 31 of this year, when teams carried out the urgent work of finding erosion gullies and dealing with them before the season of typhoon rains. Over these four months, government-sponsored bioengineering projects employed a total of 2,500 people and spent more than NT $ 370 million.
第一期工程從今年二月一日起至五月三十一日止，係為雨季來臨前加速完成的土地源頭裂縫勘尋及填補等緊急處理工程，為期四個月共動用二千五百人，花費三億七千多萬元。
