Renyi Lake Reservoir Introduction
Renyi Pond Reservoir is located upstream of Bajhang River in Fanlu Township, Chiayi County. It is a diversion-type earth-rock dam reservoir. Its catchment area covers 3.66 square kilometers, with a dam top length of 1,535 meters and a width of 9 meters, providing an annual water supply of 52 million tons. The reservoir was constructed in April 1980 and began to store water in June 1987. The water source is drawn from the Bajhang River, directed into the reservoir through a sedimentation tank. The intake point is located approximately 50 meters downstream of Wufeng Bridge along Provincial Highway 3, where a water dam is set up. A 1.5-kilometer long aqueduct channels water into Renyi Pond Reservoir, which is interconnected with Lantan Reservoir to supply water for the livelihoods of around 450,000 people in the Greater Chiayi area. Renyi Pond Reservoir provides drinking water for the entire Chiayi County and City. The nearby landscape is picturesque, filled with greenery, and there is a well-planned embankment trail along the pond. Couples can often be seen walking together, and many visitors enjoy walking and exercising in the early mornings and evenings, engaging in activities such as kite flying, jogging, and dog walking. With its pleasant scenery, Renyi Pond, located within Fanlu Township, boasts a naturally irregular shape that adds to its beauty, making it the best leisure destination for residents of the Chiayi area on weekends.
