On July 18th, 2000, a heavy rainfall occurred in the upstream watershed of Pachang Creek and induced a rapidly huge flow peak. Unfortunately, 4 professional hydraulic workers were flushed away. Three months later, Sijhih was inundated again by Typhoon Xangsane and nearly 2/3 of the urban area was flooded. Respectively, Cidu District and Nuannuan District in Keelung City suffered catastrophic floods, which caused 64 casualties, 65 injured, 25 disappearance and inestimable loss of agriculture, fishery and property.
