Analysis and Conclusion from Student Questionnaire:      

       Although the Chi-Sing Irrigation Association is near the school, as long as we go to the MRT station, we will see it, but the students do not seem to have any idea for what the organization is doing; at the same time, they have limited knowledge about the irrigation in Taipei. But our team agreed that it would be very important for the students to understand the irrigation and water ecology in the farmland of Taipei through the understanding of the Irrigation Association, so we decided to advocate in the school to let everyone better understand the living environment where we have.
