Route Introduction

Wushantou Reservior

No. 68-2, Janan Li, Guantian District, Tainan City

In order to bring water to the vast farmland on Jianan Plain, Hatta Yoichi started to design the Jianan Irrigation system in 1920s. The construction of Wushantou Reservoir began in 1920 and was fully completed in 10 years.

The reservoir catchment area covered 58 square kilometers with a water depth of 32 meters and a volume of about 150 million cubic meters. It was the third largest reservoir in the world and the largest reservoir in Asia when it was built. The dam is constructed around the low- lying valleys surrounded by Guantian, Liujia, Danei, and Dongshan areas in Tainan.

The maximum height of the dam is 56 meters; the dam crest is 9 meters wide, and 1,273 meters long with a bottom of 303 meters in width. The water catchment area resembles the shape of coral reef, which gave the reservoir a nick name of "coral pond".

The water comes from Guantian Creek, but a 3479-meter Wushanling diversion tunnel was constructed to gather more water from Zengwun Creek. The water first flows through Zengwun Power Plant on the east side of the ridge, and then is ushered to Xikou Power Plant on the west side of the ridge before it flows into Wushantou Reservoir.

The water finally flows through Wushantou Power Plant before it is released into the irrigation ditch. This design allows Wushantou Reservoir to store water for farming irrigation, but also make triple use of the water for hydroelectricity.

The electricity does not only supply the operation of the reservoir, but can also be sold to Taiwan Power Company. "Wushantou Reservoir and Jianan Irrigation System" have been listed as cultural landscapes of Tainan City.
