The Babao Canal dates back to the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign during the Qing Dynasty. It was established by the local people and completed in the 58th year of Kangxi's reign with the construction of earthen canals. The system diverts water from the Zhuoshui River via round and angular basket traps to irrigate 13 towns and townships in Changhua County. Currently, the combined irrigation area of Babao No. 1 and No. 2 Canals covers approximately 21,400 hectares, with a main canal length of 96 km, a lateral canal length of 209 km, and a sub-lateral canal length of 332 km, totaling 637 km. The original earthen canals endured for 244 years (1719–1963), sustaining fertile lands and benefiting local communities.
