Some 90 years ago, Japanese engineer Yoichi Hatta constructed the Chianan Irrigation Channel and the Wushantou Reservoir, so that the vast agricultural plain was no longer at the mercy of the weather. Afterwards, with an excellent irrigation system, the farmers could continuously cultivate crops and help build Taiwan's agricultural sector.
九十年前，日本工程師八田與一興建嘉南大圳和烏山頭水庫，使大片農地擺脫「看天田」的命運，後來的農民則在優良的灌溉基礎上持續耕耘，創造了台灣農業輝煌的紀錄。
