The Zhudong Grand Canal is the largest-scale irrigation project in the history of Zhudong's development, with the widest irrigated area. After its completion, hundreds of hectares of wasteland were transformed into fertile land, making a significant contribution to the agricultural development of the Erchongpu and Sanchongpu areas of Zhudong Township. It also plays a crucial role in the development of the Science Park and water supply today. The Zhudong Grand Canal was originally designed as an irrigation canal, drawing water from the Shangping River at Zaoshupai in Ruifeng Village. In its early days, it was solely for irrigation. However, due to the great demand for water in the Hsinchu and Zhudong areas, and the establishment of the Hsinchu Science Park, which requires a large amount of water daily, Baoshan Reservoir was built. Its main water source is drawn from the Zhudong Canal. Therefore, it can be seen that the ancestors who planned the Zhudong Canal were very farsighted. Today, it not only supplies irrigation water but also covers domestic and industrial water use, making a great contribution to Zhudong.
