If that policy weren't in place, one can imagine that the next major drought would cause a similarly strong public outcry. And with the tragic deaths of 14 staff contracted by the Water Resources Agency and dispatched to Taoyuan Township, we can see that it isn't that Taiwan hasn't done enough in the way of water control, but rather may have done too much or gone in the wrong direction.
加上此次水利署外包商 14 名工人在高雄縣桃源鄉工寮被沖走的慘劇，可以發現，台灣絕不是「治水不力」，反倒可能是施力過頭、施錯了力。
