00:00A barrier lake has formed in Nantou in central Taiwan after recent heavy rain triggered a landslide.
00:06The lake is upstream of the popular Reilong waterfall and holds about 100,000 metric tons of water.
00:12Local authorities say the situation is stable and the risk of collapse is low.
00:17They say the lake is already draining naturally.
00:20As a precaution, one nearby household was put on an alert for evacuation.
00:24In September last year, 19 people were killed when a barrier lake burst its banks and flooded the town of
