[Reporter Xie Jieyu/Report from Nantou] Affected by the front, towns and cities in Nantou County began to rain after 7:00 last night. Among them, Yuchi Township, where the Sun Moon Lake Reservoir is located, is still shrouded in rain. However, due to the rain Most of them did not land in the water catchment area, so it did not help the water storage capacity of the Sun Moon Lake Reservoir. The copper "Nine Frog Statues" were still fully exposed, and the mud on their bodies was not wet or washed by the rain. Many buildings and facilities around the pier have also been exposed from the bottom of the water, indicating that the water situation warning has not been lifted.
Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Management Office and Taipower Daguan Power Plant stated that the full water level of Sun Moon Lake is 748.48 meters, and it was hard to hope for rain from the sky. It rained all day and night, but the water inflow into Sun Moon Lake was only about 5 tons per second, which is similar to the dry season , the water level is still falling straight down, and some ships are temporarily unable to move due to grounding, and the water level once reached a low point of 741 meters, which is about 7.5 meters less than the full water level, but because it also has the function of generating electricity, it is different from ordinary reservoirs The discharge design has added a "water" circulation function. Although the water level is low, the current effective water storage capacity is maintained at about 60%.
