Real-time Hydraulic Briefing
Synthesized water storage and flow dynamicsCurrent water storage for 曾文水庫 is at 104.2% with a water level elevation of 230.05 m. Storage is up 0.1% compared to yesterday at the same time; inflow (19.9 m³/s) exceeds outflow (0 m³/s), resulting in net storage gain. Primary water supply covers Chiayi and Tainan regions, interconnected with Wushantou and Nanhua reservoirs.
曾文水庫 (ID: 30502) is an official On-stream Reservoir situated in the Zengwen River System, operated and managed by Southern Region Water Resources Branch, WRA. In operation since 1973, this facility serves as a vital strategic pillar in Taiwan's regional water grid and flood mitigation network.
According to the latest observation, its effective water storage is approximately 48,748 (10k m³), with a storage ratio of 104.2% and a real-time water level elevation of 230.05 meters. Hydraulic flow metrics record an inflow of 19.9 m³/s against an outflow of 0 m³/s (net flow: +19.89 m³/s), indicating active reservoir refilling. Catchment area recorded 0.8 mm of rainfall today.
Primary functional purposes include Chianan Plain Agricultural Irrigation, Southern Taiwan Municipal & Industrial Water, Hydroelectric Power, Flood Retention, with key regional supply coverage extending across Chiayi and Tainan regions, interconnected with Wushantou and Nanhua reservoirs.
