Water was released from Chiayi County’s Tsengwen Reservoir on Tuesday, to keep it from overflowing after days of heavy rain. The water spewing from the dam was a majestic sight that attracted spectators.
Tsengwen Reservoir is the largest in the country, with a capacity of about 500 million cubic meters. The last time it was so full water had to be released was in 2019. During the worst of this year’s drought, the reservoir had dried up to just 4% capacity.
