The water diversion gates at the South Main Canal and North Main Canal of the Chianan Canal connect the Wushantou Reservoir's leading channels to these two main lines. They serve as crucial hubs for regulating and distributing water to both lines, supplying 64,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Chianan Irrigation District and providing domestic and industrial water for 2.5 million people in Tainan and Chiayi Counties and Cities. The structure was rebuilt in 2001 and operates with hydraulically powered electric gates. The southern main line has three water diversion gates that are 3 meters wide and 4.2 meters high, while the northern main line has three gates measuring 4 meters in width and 4.2 meters in height.
