💡 Why is Agongdian Reservoir nearly empty in summer? Is it a drought? Answer: Agongdian conducts mandatory "Empty-Reservoir Desilting" every wet season (June 1 – Sept 10). The reservoir is deliberately kept nearly empty so monsoon floods flush sediment into the ocean while providing flood retention storage. A low summer reading is 100% normal operation!

Real-time Hydraulic Briefing
Synthesized water storage and flow dynamicsCurrent water storage for 阿公店水庫 is at 128.4% with a water level elevation of 38.35 m.; inflow and outflow are balanced (inflow 0.9 m³/s, outflow 0 m³/s) with steady water level. Primary water supply covers Gangshan, Luzhu, and Alian districts in Northern Kaohsiung.
阿公店水庫 (ID: 30802) is an official Flood-control Reservoir situated in the Agongdian River System, operated and managed by Southern Region Water Resources Branch, WRA. In operation since 1953, this facility serves as a vital strategic pillar in Taiwan's regional water grid and flood mitigation network.
Current real-time water level elevation stands at 38.35 meters. Hydraulic flow metrics record an inflow of 0.9 m³/s against an outflow of 0 m³/s (net flow: +0.92 m³/s), indicating active reservoir refilling.
Primary functional purposes include Flood Mitigation, Municipal & Irrigation Water for Gangshan, Hydraulic Desilting, with key regional supply coverage extending across Gangshan, Luzhu, and Alian districts in Northern Kaohsiung.
