Old Street Stream is Changing

Old Street Stream is Changing
Old Street Stream in Tao Yuan County from Dragon Lake, through Chung Li, to Dayuan into the sea was a clear and beautiful stream. There were many ponds and farms along the water . Original people and water birds depended on the stream to live. Though increasing in population brought kitchen waste and factory waste to pollute the water.Since the stream became dirty and bad smell. People forgot her beauty ever. No more gave her a glance for a long time.
By now, the local government decided to recover her activity, spending a lot of money
to manage and to build a great scenery on two sides walking trails. Hoped to lead a life of leisure to the citizen of Chung Li in the future soon.
The changing work is going on, we expect to bring back the fresh water and water creatures.
老街溪整治中
老街溪位於桃園縣，從龍潭經中壢到大園入海，昔日是一條清澈美麗的溪流。沿河有許多埤塘和農田。早期居民和水鳥頼此溪流的水為生。由於人口增加排放廚廁廢水及工廠廢水，汚染河川。從此溪流骯髒惡臭。人們忘了她往昔美麗的容顔，已經很久不曾看她一眼。
現在，地方政府決定恢復她的活力，撥下巨款進行河川整治並建設兩岸景觀步道。希望能在不久的將來，給中壢居民帶來休閒憇息的生活空間。
整治工程正在進行中，我們希望溪流恢復生機，帶來清清的河水和水中魚鳥。
