吉野川第十堰

The Yoshinogawa No.10 Sluice extends across the Yoshino River, controlling water flow through a series of gates and channels for irrigation purposes.

The construction of this water management system in the late 1970s marked a significant advancement in Japanese agricultural infrastructure development.

The sluice represents the connection between local farmers and water resources, supporting traditional rice cultivation methods in the Tokushima region.

The facility maintains stable water levels throughout the year, providing essential irrigation to 3,750 square kilometers of agricultural land in Shikoku.

Engineers incorporated specialized fish passages within the sluice structure to protect the migration patterns of native river species.
