The project is located in Sihu Township of Miaoli County. It ranges from the junction of Shitouwan Ditch and Xihu River in the east, to the north end of Longshou Bridge on the 35th line of Miaoli in the west, to the right bank of Sihu River in the south, and to the border of Shitouwan Ditch in the north. It has an area of about 6 hectares.

According to Article 6 of the Standards for Planning and Design of Agricultural Roads and Waterway Engineering Facilities in the Farmland Readjustment Zone: The trunk drain should be set at the lowest place in the Farmland Readjustment Zone, and it must take care of both the surface drainage and subsurface drainage at the same time. The drainage canal/farm drain adopts a construction method that conserves water resources and maintains the original ecology of the Farmland Readjustment Zone. The hard-surfaced pavement such as the concrete back board must be avoided at the bottom of the drainage canal/farm drain.

According to Article 38 of the Farmland Readjustment Act, after the agricultural land readjustment is completed, the agencies in charge of the agricultural roads and waterways shall inspect, manage and maintain the agricultural roads and waterways in the agricultural land readjustment area once a year. If the arable land user in the readjustment area has the obligation to maintain the agricultural roads and waterways adjacent to the arable land parcel, and if there is any damage found, the agencies in charge of the agricultural roads and waterways shall be notified immediately.

According to Article 15 of the Farmland Readjustment Act, the farmland after readjustment should be irrigated and drained directly, and close to the roadway. The standards concerning the parcels shall be determined by the competent authority of the municipality or county (city).

According to Article 2 of the Methods of Setting the Farmland Readjustment Committee, the county governments may set up the Farmland Readjustment Committee for agricultural land consolidation. Relevant tasks are as follows: 1. Reviewing the scope of agricultural land consolidation and the farmland readjustment plan. 2. Coordinating finance for agricultural land consolidation and standards of burden relief for the farmland readjustment area. 3. Reviewing the plan and design for agricultural land consolidation and the engineering budget. 4. Reviewing the disposal of the offset-expenditure land and the fragmented land within the farmland readjustment area and the use of the surplus. 5. Mediating disputes concerning agricultural land consolidation. 6. Coordinating, promoting and guiding agricultural land consolidation
