The surface water collected in the canyon during the rainy season flows into the Erwang Cave groundwater drainage system from the Zao hole at the southern end, and is finally discharged to the surface at the Mawan Cave Spring in the south. , and in the early stages of the development of the Yamawang ditch, the surface ditch water was discharged from the surface to the Muzong River through the upper canyon through Erwangdongtun.
