1. Background of Promotion

- Climate change has driven up the frequency and intensity of natural disasters like torrential rains, highlighting the critical need to secure river flood control safety.
- While applicants must submit blueprints when applying for river occupation permits, current regulations lack an explicit requirement to give prior notice if the installation process risks damaging river facilities like embankments.
- Codifying a mandatory advance notice for potential facility damage ensures that river management authorities can implement proper countermeasures during the permitting stage, protecting public life, safety, and property.


2. Regulatory Content

- Legally mandate that if there is a risk of damaging river facilities (such as embankments) during the installation of an occupied facility, the applicant must notify the river management authority in advance.
