Baihe Reservoir

Baihe Reservoir is an irrigation storage lake located in the Baihe District of Tainan, built by damming a river to collect water for local farmland. The structure consists of an earthen dam with a broad expanse of water that supplies several districts with irrigation needs.

The reservoir was created in 1965 when the Bai River was dammed to provide water for farming and industrial needs. This damming project fundamentally changed how water was managed across the region.

The water and surrounding land shape how local people live and gather together. Visitors find a place where the rhythm of farming communities and natural water cycles blend visibly in the landscape.

The reservoir has walkways and viewing areas where visitors can stroll along the shoreline and observe the water. Water levels vary throughout the year depending on farming and rainfall seasons.

During dry seasons, crews perform regular cleaning operations to remove accumulated mud and sediment from the bottom. This maintenance work helps the reservoir continue functioning properly year after year.
