Motive
Between April and May of 2015, New Taipei City faced a serious and urgent water crisis. For approximately a month, water was only supplied five days a week. Residents of New Taipei City suffered from water shortage, and it was also at this time that a news report on Cti News caught our immediate attention.
"Cti News - The World's Best! There is a sponge road in Xizhi District that is water permeable and can store water," the news reporter announced. The Limen Village in Xizhi, an area of New Taipei City that frequently experiences flood from heavy rain and often suffers from water shortage, is now completely free of such water disasters as a result of having a “breathing sponge road” in its village.
This news report on the “sponge road” sparked our interest.
How do the sponge roads “breathe”?
How can sponge roads prevent flood and drought?
How can sponge roads lower the surrounding temperatures and purify water?
The news report triggered our curiosity and prompted us to find out more. We were surprised and deeply impressed when we discovered that the inventor of the JW Eco-Technology, Mr. Jui-Wen Chen, only holds a junior high school degree. How did a young boy who did not find his interest in school become one of the world's leading expert in the field of environmental protection.
Therefore, we decided to make Mr. Jui-Wen Chen and his invention the topic of our project and research. We hope that, through our research and findings, more people can learn about Mr. Jui-Wen Chen's legendary and proud invention, the JW Eco-Technology.
