The event award went to Kosibu Dam (1021-Kosibu Dam/Kosibudamu). This year's "Season for Familiarization with Forests and LakesThe "OK to visit from places that are not usually seen" seems to have been successful for dam enthusiasts, as the tours held during the "Visit to the dam" were able to go directly under the embankment.

Low Water Management Award: Hayamoura Dam

The Low Water Management Award went to the Hayamaura Dam (2322-Sameura Dam). The reason for this year's award seems to be the miraculous feat of the reservoir, which went from drought conditions to full water at once after Typhoon No. 15 this year.

Flood Control Award: Hiyoshi Dam

It was this Hiyoshi Dam (1407-Hiyoshi Dam) that saved the city of Kyoto from the ravages of that abominable Typhoon No. 18. Without him, the damage to Kyoto is said to be in the trillions of yen. This is precisely the reason for the award.

Dam Grand Prize: Hiyoshi Dam

And...the prestigious Dam Grand Prize went to the Hiyoshi Dam.
The grand prize winner, Hiyoshi Dam, is said to receive a "golden crest gate statue.

Of the various dams that received awards, the Hayamoura Dam and Hiyoshi Dam received joyful comments from the official Twitter account because they are dams of the Japan Water Agency.

I would like to say thank you to each dam for the past year. Also, to Mr. Hagiwara and all the dam enthusiasts who organized the Dam Awards, thank you for all your hard work!
