Taiwan is located at the junction of the Eurasian continental plate and the Philippine Sea plate. Due to the collision of the two plates, the crust was squeezed and lifted to form Taiwan Island.
Therefore, 70% of Taiwan's area is mountainous, and Taiwan is located in the subtropical region. The climate is warm and humid, so the mountains are surrounded by clouds all year round. According to the characteristics of Taiwan's climate, I will try to design a system that can collect water in the mountains to reduce the consumption of a lot of resources to erect water pipes to transport water. This system collects water from all over the mountain and supplies it to nearby buildings.
Base
The base is located in the open space next to a rest station on Hehuan Mountain. This rest station is located at a critical relay station on the summit of the mountain. Many tourists will rest here before reaching the summit. The base is 3011 meters above sea level, where the humidity is extremely high, and it is located on a windward slope, with strong winds and highly thick fog. Therefore, the ways to obtain water resources in this environment include fog and rain. The design concept is to collect fog water and rainwater into the water tower and then provide the stored water resources to the rest station opposite the base, providing stable water resources for tourists using it.

B ecause the sturcture is on build on the slope, so the water will flow from the top of the slope to the buttom. The water can be used by every restroom on the slope and the water will end flowing into the tank and stored.
T he arrangement of the hot spring house and the restroom are the same as the lines that water flow through ,which makes it easier to collect, restore and use the water from the rain and the fog.
