The annual rainfall in Taiwan is actually 2.6 times than the average number in the world. There are as many as 2,500 mm of rainfall per year, but because of the geographical and climatic conditions,which leads to the fact that even if the rainfall is abundant in Taiwan, the water consumption of the people living in the island area is really far below the global average. A large part of the rainfall follows violent rain caused by the deterioration of the environment. The delay of the rainy season and the increase of the intensity of the typhoon have caused to suffer from flooding every year in Taiwan.This study takes “WIND LION PLAZA “ as the object. How do private enterprises “Kinmen” in the offshore islands where resources are more scarce implement “water saving measures and resource reuse” promoted by the government? In addition, it also includes the purpose and expectation of the implementation of this policy by the enterprise. Furthermore, how to implement the resource cycle and the management level between the government and the enterprise is to achieve sustainable development of resources, and do corporate social responsibility to achieve sustainable development of resources.
