Ototoshi's northern Kyushu disaster area, Asakura City's symbol of reconstruction, “Triple Turbine Wheel” finished operation this season, and the work to stop the water wheel was carried out.
Asakura city's triple water turbine, built more than 200 years ago, was swamped by earth and sand and driftwood due to heavy rain in northern Kyushu in July, but local people and volunteers stayed for about a month. It is a symbol of recovery.
On the 16th, the waterfall ceremony, which ended the season's operation, was held at a shrine about 2 km away from the water wheel, and the sluice gates were closed.
And since mid-June, when the rice was planted, the watermills that had been running stopped slowly.
According to the Yamada dam land improvement district, which manages triple water turbines, more than half of the 35 hectares of rice fields where seven turbines, including triple water turbines, send water, were damaged by heavy rain. It means that it has recovered.
Toshio Koga, Chairman of the Yamada Dam Land Improvement Zone, said, “I think that the triple water turbine that withstood the torrential rain has done a lot of work. I want to go. "
Triple water turbines are rebuilt every five years, and this is the fifth year, and will be demolished around the middle of next month.
A new triple turbine will be in operation next year when rice is planted.
