As per reports, the Water Resources Agency (WRA) stated on Thursday (28 March) that reservoirs in Taiwan currently only have just over three months’ supply of water, which prompted a call by Premier Chen Chien-jen for tighter conservation efforts.

• Water supply levels must be closely monitored, particularly at the Shimen, Baoshan, Yongheshan and Liyutan reservoirs in the north of the country. Currently, those reservoirs are at 30.7 percent, 33.29 percent, 56.82 percent and 35.23 percent of capacity, respectively, WRA data shows.
• Earlier this month, the WRA also raised its drought monitoring signal for Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung, from a blue light to a green light, reminding people to conserve water.
