Dam in Chugoku Region

Kawakami Dam (Okayama Prefecture) is a somewhat confusing dam with the same name as the dam under construction in Mie Prefecture (as of September 2013) and the dam in Yamaguchi Prefecture. However, this one is a very ordinary agricultural reservoir. The flood discharge is of the free overflow type typical of earth dams. Earth dams are agricultural treasures. / Earth dam / 24m
