Annong River

Annong River (Traditional Chinese: 安農溪), originally named Dianhuo River,[1] is a river in Taiwan[2] located in Sanxing Township,[3] Yilan County,[4] approximately 3 kilometers from the downtown area of Luodong Township.[5] It is one of the tributaries of the Luodong River[6] in the Lanyang River system[7] and serves as the drainage channel for the tailwater of the Lanyang Power Plant.[8] The river is about 17.2 kilometers long,[9] with a watershed area of approximately 55.9 square kilometers.[10] It flows through the prime areas of Sanxing Township,[11] providing essential water for agricultural irrigation in Sanxing Township and downstream towns.[12] It is regarded as the "River of Life" of Sanxing Township due to its abundant water resources,[13] which also make it suitable for rafting activities.[14] Currently, the Annong River is managed by the First River Management Office[15] of the Water Resources Agency under the Ministry of Economic Affairs.[16] It is the most important and water-rich river in Sanxing Township,[17] serving purposes of hydropower generation,[18] irrigation,[19] and tourism and recreation[20]
