As a result, the same as in many countries, ecological and environmental problems have been produced; for example, the serious pollution of the Tamsui River, the Keelung River, and Tahan Creek of the Tamsui River system has adversely affected the environmental quality of the Taipei municipal area, giving rise to profound public attention.
因此同許多國家一樣，產生了生態環境的問題，例如淡水河系的淡水河、基隆河、大漢溪的嚴重汙染，已影響到台北都會地區的環境品質，引起一般民眾的深切注意。
