The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has increased its water tanker supplies, according to a report by the Taiwanese media outlet United Daily News (UDN). These measures come as water levels in Taiwan's Hsinchu sector continue to drop, and the island's sectors set to tighten usage restrictions for industrial users in Taiwan's science and industry parks. UDN reports that TSMC will increase its order of water tankers for the company's fabrication facilities in Hsinchu Science Park. Taiwan's Hsinchu sector is currently on an Orange alert, which cut down industrial users' usage by 11% in February this year.

While several of TSMC's chip fabrication plants and lines are in the Hsinchu science and industrial park, the ones primarily responsible for the leading-edge 5nm and 7nm process node located in other sectors, roughly half of TSMC's revenue was from these products, according to the fab's latest earnings results.
