The Chingshui River is a class-three ordinary river, for which the Hualien County government is responsible. Because local finances are limited, the expenditure for dike construction cannot, according to local regulations, exceed NT $ 20,000 per meter.
而清水溪是屬第三級的普通河川，由花蓮縣政府負責整治，因地方財力限制，堤防造價依規定每公尺不超過二萬元。
