Yunlin Reservoir in Taiwan reached full water level after nearly 2 months of rainfall from the Mei-Yu Front and afternoon thunderstorms, resulting in a spectacular natural overflow and the re-emergence of a circular waterfall phenomenon on June 24th. This ensures a stable water supply for residents until the end of the year. The reservoir had faced declining water levels due to insufficient rainfall, hitting a record low in April but was replenished by increased water flow from the Qing Shui stream in late April.
