dam terminology

speak ill of

[The word "discharging" is a term used by dam enthusiasts to indicate that water is being discharged from a dam. Originally derived from the English word "discharge," meaning discharge. It was proposed by Masaki Hagiwara on Twitter. The word "dam" means "dam discharging," and "crest gate discharging.

weir association

Weir-kai is a general term for a drinking party where dam maniacs have a drinking party. Dam mania term. It was (supposedly) proposed by Kamima in a chat or bulletin board (or maybe it was an e-mail) on Saki Miyajima's site (?). (or maybe it was an e-mail). The word "weir" can also be read as "en", so it was proposed as a combination of "banquet" and "weir party". There are variants such as "Oyankai" and "Daiyankai".

damming (e.g. a pond)

Weir-bun" is a dam enthusiast term for "iron-bun," a term that indicates the passion level of railroad fans, and was established before dawn on November 29, 2009. The name "weir" is derived from the fact that it can also be read as "en. Kamima had also proposed "bone fraction," but after a Twitter exchange with Masaki Hagiwara, it was decided to use "weir fraction. Kamima also thought it was "sekibun," but since it is also hung with "shio-bun" (salt), we would like to recommend this one.

Dam volume

Embankment volume is the volume of the dam embankment. It is the sum of the materials that make up the dam. Structurally, rockfill dams tend to have larger embankment volumes. Therefore, as of November 2009, Gifu's Tokuyama Dam (1130-Tokuyama Dam) boasts the largest embankment volume among all types of dams in Japan.

Bank height

The embankment height is the height of the dam. It is the height from the foundation to the top of the dam. Because of its height from the foundation, some dams do not appear to be high from the outside. The height of a dam or a weir is mainly determined by this embankment height (see "Dam").

Hollow Gravity Concrete Dam

A hollow gravity concrete dam is a gravity concrete dam with a hollowed-out embankment. Compared to gravity-type concrete dams, hollow gravity-type concrete dams not only have the economic advantages of requiring less concrete placement and transportation costs, but also have the advantage of being more stable than gravity-type concrete dams because the surface of the hollow dam is wider than that of gravity-type concrete dams.

Reservoir area

The waterlogged area is the area of the dam lake that is always at full water level. It is the area enclosed by the line where the highest water level of the dam lake meets the shore. A large waterlogged area does not necessarily mean a large total storage capacity. Incidentally, the word "waterlogged" means "filled with water. The word "waterlogged" also means "filled to the brim with liquid or other substance.

multipurpose dam

A multi-purpose dam is a dam that serves multiple purposes in a single dam, among them flood control, power generation, industry, and irrigation. It is mainly defined by the "Act on Specified Multi-purpose Dams" enacted in 1957. Multi-purpose dams are broadly classified into specific multi-purpose dams managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and auxiliary multi-purpose dams managed by each prefecture.

Dam top elevation

The dam top elevation is the height from sea level to the top of the dam; as of November 2009, the highest dam in Japan is the Minamiami Dam (1,532 m) in Nagano Prefecture.

dam axis

The dam axis is a line that is based on the upstream face of the dam top in the case of gravity-type concrete dams, and the center line of the embankment top in the case of arch and fill dams. It is an important basic line in dam design.

dam-site

A dam site is a place where the main body of a dam is built. It may also refer to the area around the dam. The name of the dam site operated by Masaki Hagiwara.

dam

A dam is a structure installed to store or withdraw runoff water from a river for flood control, water utilization, or power generation. In Japan, a dam is defined as having a height of 15 m or more from the foundation to the top of the embankment (Article 44 of the River Law). In the world, according to the definition of the International Conference on Large Dams, a dam is defined as having an embankment height of 5.0 m or more and a water storage capacity of 3 million cubic meters or more.

sediment level

The sand level is the height of the top surface when the planned sand volume is leveled and sanded.

Total storage capacity

Total storage capacity is the sum of sediment storage capacity, dead water capacity, water diversion capacity, and flood control capacity. Although effective storage capacity is another numerical value that indicates the scale of water storage capacity, the ranking is almost always expressed in terms of total storage capacity. The unit is expressed in m3 (cubic meters).

selective water withdrawal

Selective water withdrawal refers to withdrawing water from a dam lake, which varies in temperature and turbidity depending on its depth, for different purposes. For example, water on the surface of a dam lake is warmed by the sun, so only this water is withdrawn and used for agricultural purposes, such as growing rice. Selective water intake is achieved by installing selective water intake facilities attached to the embankment or installed in the dam lake, which take in water from each layer and discharge it downstream.

design flood level

The design flood level is the water level of the dam lake at the time of the maximum flood that can be expected to occur once every 200 years (or the maximum flood flow in the past) during the dam's existence. It is assumed that the gates are fully opened and is taken into account as the highest water level that can be expected as a natural phenomenon.

water rights

Water rights are the rights to use water from rivers and other sources. In the case of dams, they are divided into agricultural water, water supply water, and industrial water. Water rights can be broadly classified into two types: conventional water rights and permitted water rights. The former do not require notification if the water was taken before the River Law was enacted (before 1896) and is socially recognized, while the latter require permission from the river administrator (national or local government) based on the River Law.

ordinary flood discharge

A permanent flood discharge is a gate facility that allows water from a dam lake to flow downstream while regulating the flow. It is used for normal flood control, while an emergency flood discharge is used for floods that are too large to be discharged by the normal flood discharge. A permanent flood discharge is generally equipped with a gate, but there are also some that have no gate but a hole.

normal level of water supply

The normal full water level is the highest water level that can be stored in the dam lake for water utilization purposes (water supply, irrigation, industrial water, etc.) during normal times (non-flooding). The water level can be used from this level to the lowest level. Each dam has its own set of operating rules, and the full water level is determined based on the elevation of each dam, and the rules for operating gates, etc. are based on this level.
