Official tables compare science-park water use, sales and cubic metres per day per NT$1B.
This statistic links Taiwan’s high-tech output to a physical resource constraint. Science parks are revenue-dense industrial clusters, but water demand differs sharply by park mix and site stage. Using the latest official tables, Southern Science Park shows the lowest water use per NT$1 billion of sales, while Central Science Park is highest. The result is a monthly proxy, not a full-year sustainability metric.

Water data are March 2026 and sales data are February 2026, the latest accessible official tables in this source path. Reclaimed-water caveats differ by park. NT$ means New Taiwan dollars.
Sum National Science and Technology Council March 2026 water-use values in cubic metres per day (CMD) by park group. Divide by February 2026 total sales, converted from NT$100m to NT$ billions. Formula: cubic metres/day divided by NT$1B monthly sales.
Both inputs are NSTC science-park tables, but they use different latest available months and different physical/financial units.
Taiwan Science Park Sales per Employee
Southern Science Park led at about NT$2.75m in monthly sales per employee.
Taiwan Science Park Electricity Load per Employee
Southern and Central parks had far higher electricity-load intensity than Hsinchu.
