Rankings of eutrophic reservoirs

26 reservoirs around Taiwan are monitored, 20 of which are important sources of domestic water supply, including Hsin-Shan, Fei-Tsui, Shih-Men, Pao-Shan, Yung-Ho-Shan, Ming-Te, Li-Yu-Tan, Te-Chi, Wu-She, Jih-Yueh-Tan, Lan-Tan, Jen-Yi-Tan, Pai-Ho, Tseng-Wen, Wu-Shan-Tou, Nan-Hua, Ching-Mien, Cheng-Ching-Hu, Feng-Shan, and Mu-Tan Reservoirs. The other six reservoirs, including Hsi-Shih, Pao-Shan II, Ta-Pu, Tou-She, Hushan, and A-Kung-Tien Reservoirs, have smaller storage areas and mainly provide water for industrial or agricultural purposes. Thus, they are considered secondary reservoirs.
