Description of Our Community: Pitou Town is located on the alluvial fan of Chohsui River. Old Choshui River passed including Pitou Town, and the town limit of Beidou and Tienwei. It was hard to irrigate our farms because of a bad location on the alluvial fan. Therefore, people dup a pool for irrigation. Pools in Taiwanese were called “Pi”. Our town is on the upstream pool so it is called “Pitou”! Our town is in the administration regions of south Changhwa(Taiwan, R.O.C.), next to Choshui River and Yunlin County. Our school is in Luk-ko Cou combined by Zhu-wei, Chung-ho, Zhuang-nay, and so on. Luk-ko Cou was called because it was the main path from Si-luo Town to Luk-kang Town. Our town is only 3~4 KM far from Choshui River, and this good location helps us a lot. So, Chohsui River is very important for us and very close to our living environment.

Project Description: By living near Choshui River, we have a very close relation with it. No matter in the past or now, it offers our farmlands a very important water source for irrigation use. As time goes by, industrial and business developments, and seeking for convenient life cause various negative effects on Chohsui River. Therefore, we decided to research the biological environmental differences in the pastime and present time by looking through the biological environment, non-biological environment, environmental crises, and other aspects. These questions are closely related to us. Also, for Choshui River is no longer the same, we hope to understand an outline of the downstream environment of Choshui River, which is near us, by researching. Furthermore, we may inspire people to pay more attention to this river.
