The Water Resources Agency is reporting that water levels in a number of Taiwan’s reservoirs are continuing to rise following a period of rain last week. The report comes as the worst drought to hit Taiwan in decades continues.
As of Wednesday, both the Shihmen and Yung-Ho Shan Reservoirs have water storage rates between 20-30%. The Fei-Tsui Reservoir has had an especially high rate of water storage at 88.95%.
But despite the rising water levels, a second round of water rationing is scheduled for Taoyuan City and certain districts of New Taipei City, with water supplies to be cut two days a week.
