However, due to the high-density development of land, resulting in rapid urban expansion, the construction of tunnels and elevated highways across reservoirs to better utilize the surrounding land has become a global trend. Based on data from long-term observation of the reservoir, this study verifies the difference in water quality before and after the highway construction. The results indicate that the total phosphorus (TP) increased on average 14 \u03bcg\/L to 36.5 \u03bcg\/L per annum, and the water quality is expected to require 10 years to recover. During the highway development, the average TP was more than twice the normal level. During summer, the TP level increases 3.1-fold due to rainfall. As indicated by the results, the large-scale land development will harm the long-term preservation of the reservoir\u2019s water quality, and therefore should be avoided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph9093344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,19]],"date-time":"2012-09-19T11:58:11Z","timestamp":1348055891000},"page":"3344-3353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Effect of Developing a Tunnel across a Highway on the Water Quality in an Upstream Reservoir Watershed Area\u2014A Case Study of the Hsuehshan Tunnel in Taiwan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Guey-Shin","family":"Shyu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Management, Tungnan University, No. 152, Section 3, Beishen Road, Shenkeng District, New Taipei city 222, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bai-You","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Resources Management, TransWorld University, No. 1221, Zhennan Road, Yunlin County 640, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4460-0652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Ta","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Environmental Education, National Taiwan Normal University, No. 88, Section 4, Ting-chou Road, Taipei 116, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3800(96)00062-2","article-title":"Prediction of water quality in lakes and reservoirs.
