The history of the Seta River, including Lake Biwa, is the history of flood control. It has a very fukuzatsu element, and I cannot talk about it eloquently.
Night Sparrow's website, "Suzume's Social Studies BookIn the "Seta River" section, the Seta River is summarized in a very easy-to-understand manner.

Other facilities/observations
This is a wash-weir with a lot of attractions. When I hear the word "wash-weir," I think of the wash-weir on the Shonai River in Nagoya, but I had no idea that there were such magnificent wash-weirs in the world. Although it is not a dam, it is an interesting place to visit.
