The Zhuoshui River (Chinese: 濁水溪; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhuóshuǐ Xī; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhuóshuěi Sī; Wade–Giles: Cho²-shui³ Hsi¹; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lô-chúi-khoe) is the longest river in Taiwan. It flows through border between Yunlin County, Changhua County, and its source in Nantou County, for 186 km.^[1]

The river serves as an unofficial boundary between the north and south of Taiwan.^[2]

The Zhuoshui River environment has in recent years been seriously degraded both by the construction of a dam across the river at Jiji and by the ongoing activities of the concrete industry.^{[citation needed]}
