Read : Shisui Yoryo
English: dead storage capacity
Also known as -
The dead water capacity is the capacity between the top of the sediment capacity and the lowest water level, and is set to maintain a certain water level. Since dead water itself is not a target for water utilization and the water level itself is below the intake, it is used for emergency pumping in case of abnormal drought.
Note that you should be careful not to read "sinimizu" incorrectly. Shinimizu" is water that moistens the mouth of a dying person, also known as water of the last stage of life.
As a complete aside, it is said that sometimes a strange combination of "dead water" is discharged and "drowned bodies" are found at the bottom of a dam....
