農業部林業及自然保育署花蓮分署與中華防災學會合作,以聲納測深設備重新率定水位—蓄水量關係,提升防災模擬準確度
農業部林業及自然保育署花蓮分署與中華防災學會,首度以搭載聲納測深設備的無人船探測萬榮鄉萬里溪堰塞湖水下地形,將蓄水量從約517萬立方公尺修正為約452萬立方公尺,並將實測資料納入水理演算模型,提升極端降雨下溢流洪峰與下游影響範圍的模擬準確度。

萬里溪堰塞湖位於深山陡峭的V型峽谷,沒有聯外道路,過去主要靠空載光達、無人機空拍、即時影像及水位計監測,水下地形一直是監測盲區。堰塞湖在台灣常發生,但像萬里溪這樣大規模的並不多見。
萬榮鄉萬里溪堰塞湖目前持續穩定溢流,林業及自然保育署花蓮分署與中華防災學會合作,首度以搭載聲納測深設備的無人船,探測堰塞湖水下地形,並重新率定「水位—蓄水量」關係,原本估計約517萬立方公尺的蓄水量,修正為約452萬立方公尺,花蓮分署指出,這是台灣首度用無人船探測堰塞湖水下地形。
農業部林業及自然保育署花蓮分署今表示,截至8日上午9時50分,湖水水位約1086.34公尺,蓄水量約453.97萬立方公尺。花蓮分署分析,蓄水量減少的原因,是右岸邊坡土石持續崩落入湖區,加上上游土砂入流淤積。
花蓮分署長黃群策說明,堰塞湖在台灣常發生,但像馬太鞍溪、萬里溪這樣大規模的並不多見,形成後防災與科學研究都很重要。雖然先前已在湖區投放水位計,但單靠水位計無法確切掌握深山中持續變動的量體變化,堰塞湖形成一段時間後,仍需要測量水下地形,才能真正精準掌握水體,預測未來對下游的影響。
萬里溪堰塞湖位於深山陡峭的V型峽谷,沒有聯外道路,過去主要靠空載光達、無人機空拍、即時影像及水位計,掌握壩體外觀、溢流道下切及水位變化,水下地形一直是監測盲區。
為了克服地形限制,中華防災學會與空勤、特搜教官多次研商,由內政部空中勤務總隊5日出動直升機,以機腹吊掛方式,把1艘組合式有人船及1艘搭載聲納測深設備的無人船,運抵湖區,並部署5名研究人員,由特搜人員協助安全戒護與裝備卸載。
黃群策說,湖區周邊皆為近乎垂直的崩塌裸露峭壁,環境險惡,計畫必須經過嚴密沙盤推演。原本任務訂在10月執行,但出發前夕遭遇薔琵颱風,為確保機組員與地面人員安全而暫緩;後來花了約兩週重新評估,確認吊掛點位、組裝流程及下水方式,5日清晨整裝出發,無人船在有人船引導與水上安全戒護下,順利完成全面測繪。
研究團隊把握天候穩定時段,進行密集測量,蒐集水深及湖底地形數據,7日完成資料解算,除重新率定「水位—蓄水量」關係,也同步掌握湖底泥砂淤積分布與土砂運移趨勢,並探查天然壩體水下邊坡的穩定情形。
花蓮分署指出,實測資料已納入水理演算模型,有助於提升極端降雨下,溢流洪峰、流速及下游可能影響範圍的模擬準確度,作為後續滾動檢討警戒基準的依據,也能作為台灣高山堰塞湖防災科研的基礎。
依中央氣象署預報,上游集水區未來12及24小時累積雨量均預估為0毫米,未達降雨警戒發布標準。今天早上的空拍顯示,壩體完整、湖水穩定溢流,對下游的影響仍侷限在河道內。花蓮分署提醒,湖區仍有約452.90萬立方公尺蓄水,潛在風險持續存在,河道內的紅色警戒尚未解除,民眾切勿進入花蓮縣政府公告的萬里溪堤防周邊、河床等警戒區域。

The COP31 Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will be held in Antalya, Turkey from the 9th to the 20th. The Ministry of Environment has simultaneously launched the "Climate Pulse. Taiwan Colleagues" series of forums. Each forum will arrange a live briefing on COP31. Environment Minister Peng Qiming will preside over the "AI for Climate, Climate for AI" forum. The event will be bilingual in Chinese and English and will be broadcast live.

A fire broke out in a multi-storied iron house on Zhongzheng Road, Niaosong District, Kaohsiung City. The fire department dispatched 24 vehicles and 59 people to rescue the fire. The thick smoke caused poor air quality in the three districts of Niaosong, Fengshan and Daliao. The Environmental Protection Bureau reminded the public to close doors and windows, go out less often, and wear masks when going out.

Chiayi County and Chiayi City Environmental Protection Bureau will set up "Twin Tan" air quality maintenance areas in Renyitan and Lantan. Starting from New Year's Day in 2028, diesel buses, large trucks and fuel-fired locomotives that have been manufactured for more than 5 years will be prohibited from entering. From 2030, diesel small trucks will be included. Violators will be fined up to NT$60,000.

The Bohemian Paradise Geopark in the Czech Republic was delisted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Global Geoparks Council due to its inability to resolve a dispute over the sale of gems of unknown origin in a local museum, and will lose its accreditation at the end of this year.

Beijing ushered in rain and snow on November 7, the beginning of winter, and some areas issued yellow warnings for heavy snowfall. Affected by the cold air, the temperature dropped sharply. The local area has started trial heating work, and the transportation department has taken measures to deal with the impact of rain and snow on travel.

At the beginning of winter, strong cold air caused heavy snowfall in the north and heavy rain in the south, and the Central Meteorological Observatory issued double warnings. Northeastern Hebei is facing the risk of severe snowstorms. Temperatures across the country will drop significantly and turn dry and cold from the 9th. In addition, the 32nd typhoon "Chapaka" was generated this year, setting a new record for the number of typhoons in the 21st century.
