According to statistics from the Water Conservancy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the cumulative rainfall in major reservoirs from 7:00 am yesterday to 5:00 pm today is estimated to be 10.64 million tons of water.

Wang Yifeng, spokesman for the Water Conservancy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, told the Central News Agency that the rainfall in the past two days mainly contributed to the reservoirs in the central region. Rain in the south, while helpful, remains relatively limited.

Wang Yifeng said that artificial rain enhancement will be carried out in the southern region this morning and afternoon, hoping to increase the rainfall. The Meteorological Bureau also predicts that the rainfall will last until tomorrow, so we still hope that the rainfall from this evening to tomorrow will be able to fill the southern reservoir.

According to the real-time reservoir information on the website of the Water Resources Department, the water situation of the southern reservoirs is still relatively severe. The storage rate of Wushantou Reservoir is 57%, that of Mudan Reservoir is 38%, that of Nanhua Reservoir is 20%, and that of Zengwen Reservoir is only about 6%.

According to the information on the website of the Water Conservancy Department, Tainan City and Kaohsiung City currently have orange lights for "water supply reduction"; Hsinchu County, Taichung City, the northern part of Changhua County, and Chiayi County and City are under yellow lights for "Decompression Water Supply"; Miaoli County is under "Water Conditions" "Reminder" green light; other counties and cities have "normal water conditions" blue light.
