The Japan Dam Award 2013 was held on December 29 (Sun.) at Culture Culture in Odaiba, Tokyo. The award-nominated dams were first introduced, followed by voting by participants at the venue, and then the winners were announced. The following are the award-winning dams.
Please note that the comments for each award are based on the fact that the author of the article has not seen the awards themselves."Appropriate."The first is.
Discharge Award: Kawaji Dam (0571-Kawaji Dam)
The discharge award went to the Kawaji Dam for its excellent discharge from the crest gate through the test discharge.
Event Prize: Kosibu Dam
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.
We had a happy announcement at the end of the year. The Hiyoshi Dam we manage won the grand prize of the Japan Dam Awards 2013! Thank you very much. o
