The knowledge of water resource planning briefly lists five projects and describe as follows :

Conjunctive operation types of reservoir and weir in Taiwan

The conjunctive operation of reservoir and weir in Taiwan can be divided into two types : cooperation type of water supply and cooperation type of hydropower reservoir. The reservoir and weir conjunctive operation types in Taiwan list as table 1.

Conjunctive operation of water supply:There are three types, including reservoir discharge in downstream weir, transbasin diversion from weir to reservoir, and water-pumping from weir to reservoir, respectively described as follows :

  1. Reservoir discharges to downstream weir(shown in Fig. 1):Water supply joint operation of on-stream reservoir and weir in downstream river, such as Feitsui Reservoir and Zhitan Dam.
  2. Transbasin diversion from weir to reservoir(shown in Fig. 2):Utilizing transbasin diversion from weir to reservoir in order to joint operation of water supply, such as Shih-lin Weir and Liyutan Reservoir.
  3. Water-pumping from weir to reservoir (shown in Fig. 3):Utilizing water-pumping from weir to the reservoir located in another river basin, such as Ba-Du Weir and Hsin-Shan Reservoir.

Conjunctive operation through hydropower reservoir:There are three types, including:(1)Hydropower generated through upstream reservoir and downstream weir used the tail water (shown in Fig. 4), (2)Transbasin diversion hydropower (shown in Fig. 5), (3)Pumped storage hydropower (shown in Fig. 6).
