Tianpu Reservoir

Tianpu Reservoir is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Tianpu Reservoir rather than just read about it. In short: The Tianpu Reservoir (traditional Chinese: 田埔水庫; simplified Chinese: 田埔水库; pinyin: Tiánbù Shuǐkù) is a reservoir in Jinsha Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. It is the catchment area of water supplied from China through the Jinjiang–Kinmen Pipeline.

Key takeaways

Tianpu Reservoir belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Tianpu Reservoir to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Tianpu Reservoir from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Tianpu Reservoir (traditional Chinese: 田埔水庫; simplified Chinese: 田埔水库; pinyin: Tiánbù Shuǐkù) is a reservoir in Jinsha Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. It is the catchment area of water supplied from China through the Jinjiang–Kinmen Pipeline.

Geology The reservoir has an effective capacity of 599,000 m3 (21,200,000 cu ft). The main local source for the reservoir comes from Qianpu River in Kinmen and supply from Mainland China originated from Longhu Lake in Fujian.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tianpu Reservoir

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tianpu Reservoir claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tianpu Reservoir before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tianpu Reservoir ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tianpu Reservoir

In research: Tianpu Reservoir appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tianpu Reservoir in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tianpu Reservoir is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Jinsha, Kinmen, Lake stubs, Lakes of Kinmen County, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tianpu Reservoir outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
