Taipei's Hydraulic Engineering Office runs 88 stormwater pumping stations in six river-system zones. Since a 2007 pilot, it has automated 51 of them (completed 2019): each pumps automatically once its own intake basin's water level rises, while 42 rainfall and 214 water-level gauges feed staff a citywide monitoring dashboard.
