Erosion and Sediment Control Work for the Momijidani River Park
Erosion and Sediment Control Work for the Momijidani River Park, Check dam and erosion control facility in Hatsukaichi, Japan.
The erosion control system at Momijidani River Park combines check dams and garden structures to manage water flow and prevent soil degradation along the riverbanks.
The erosion control project, initiated in 1950 by engineers from Hiroshima, introduced innovative methods to protect the natural landscape of Momijidani Park.
The facility earned recognition as an Important Cultural Property of Japan for its integration of traditional engineering principles with environmental preservation techniques.
Regular maintenance ensures the check dams continue intercepting water flow and reducing velocity in drainage channels, effectively preventing channel erosion.
The control work received the Handmade Hometown Prize in both 1987 and 2005, demonstrating its enduring value to environmental conservation.
