     In the Taipei area, the government recently completed the Keelung River Yuanshanzih Flood Diversion Tunnel to stop flooding around Sijhih. Housing developments built on slopeland in Sijhih had destroyed the hydrological balance in recent years, causing heavy loads of sediment to wash down into the river and reducing much of its drainage capacity.
