Ootani Check dam

The Ootani Check dam features a robust construction designed to control water flow and prevent erosion in the drainage system of Fukuyama.

Engineers constructed this check dam as part of the traditional Japanese water management infrastructure that developed throughout the Hiroshima region.

The structure exemplifies Japanese engineering methods for controlling water flow while maintaining the natural balance of the surrounding environment.

Located at specific coordinates in Fukuyama, the dam effectively manages stormwater runoff and reduces the velocity of water during heavy rainfall periods.

This check dam incorporates local materials and construction techniques specific to the Hiroshima prefecture's geological conditions.
