Introduction On March 11, 2011 the strongest recorded in Japan earthquake off the Pacific coast of North-east of the country occurred (also know as Great East Japan Earthquake, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and the 3.11 Earthquake) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant (Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant Station). It was the first disaster that included an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. The 2011 disasters have had immense impacts on people life, health and property, social infrastructure and economy, natural and institutional environment, etc. in North-eastern Japan and beyond [Abe, 2014; Al-Badri and Berends, 2013; Biodiversity Center of Japan, 2013; Britannica, 2014; Buesseler, 2014; FNAIC, 2013; Fujita et al., 2012; IAEA, 2011; IBRD, 2012; Kontar et al., 2014; NIRA, 2013; TEPCO, 2012; UNEP, 2012; Vervaeck and Daniell, 2012; Umeda, 2013; WHO, 2013; WWF, 2013]. We have done an assessment of major social, economic and environmental impacts of the triple disaster in another publication [Bachev, 2014]. There have been numerous publications on diverse impacts of the 2011 disasters including on the Japanese agriculture and food sector [Bachev and Ito, 2013; JA-ZENCHU, 2011; Johnson, 2011; Hamada and Ogino, 2012; MAFF, 2012; Koyama, 2013; Sekizawa, 2013; Pushpalal et al., 2013; Liou et al., 2012; Murayama, 2012; MHLW, 2013; Nakanishi and Tanoi, 2013; Oka, 2012; Ujiie, 2012; Yasunaria et al., 2011; Watanabe A., 2011; Watanabe N., 2013].

This is a “multipurpose dam” that has six different roles: flood control, river ecosystem conservation, agricultural water supply, municipal water supply, industrial water supply, and power generation. Concrete casting was performed using the cruising roller compacted dam (RCD) method_only the third such example in Japan (the first in Tohoku). Tsugaru Dam’s functions Mitigating flood disasters Maintaining proper waterflow functions Supplying municipal water Planned flood discharge at dam site: Providing consistent replenishment for Additional water supply to Hirosaki city: Adjusted from 3,100 m3/sec existing water supplies, and conserving 14,000 ｍ3/day to 160 m3/sec the river’s ecosystem.

Practical keys to the Japanese 43 genera and 122 species are provided including this new species. A check list and data of specimens examined are also provided. Key words: Diptera, flesh flies, new species, new genus, Sarcophagidae, Japan INTRODUCTION The collection of Sarcophagidae made by the first author was studied during the course of the taxonomical studies on the calypterate muscoid flies from Japan since 1970 (Kurahashi, 1970). This was a revision of the subfamily Miltogramatinae dealing with seven genera and 14 species. Before this, Takano (1950) recorded seven genera and nine species of Japanese Sarcophagidae. Many investigation on the Japanese flesh flies made by Drs. K. Hori, R. Kano and S. Shinonaga beside the present authors. The results of these authors were published in the part of Sacophagidae, Fauna Japanica (Insecta: Diptera) and treated 23 genera and 65 species of the subfamilies of Sarcophaginae and Agriinae (=Paramacronychiinae), but the subfamily Miltogrammatinae was not included (Kano et al., 1967).

  • Challenges of Restoring and Rehabilitating Sewer Systems Damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
    Journal of JSCE, Vol. 5, 279-297, 2017 Special Topic - Restoration and Recovery from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake（ Invited Paper） CHALLENGES OF RESTORING AND REHABILITATING SEWER SYSTEMS DAMAGED BY THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI Hiroyasu SATOH1 1Member of JSCE, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo (5-1-5 Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-8563, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] This is a review of the restoration and rehabilitation of sewer systems damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The disaster caused serious damage to sewer systems, amounting to approxi- mately 470 billion JPY. The damage was mainly caused by the tsunami, but the damage due to liquefac- tion was also serious. The tectonic activity caused additional discharge loads to municipalities in coastal areas. The nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant also affected sewer systems in such forms as radio-contamination of sewage sludge and reduction of power supplies. In addition, migra- tion of users of sewer systems took place. In the restoration activities, sewage treatment plants (STPs) were restored step-by-step, and guidelines were developed to strengthen STPs against tsunamis. The ef- fectiveness of different countermeasures against earthquakes and liquefaction were examined, and new countermeasures were proposed. Software measures such as the introduction of business continuity plans and information technologies are recognized as effective measures for overcoming disasters. In particular, the sewer systems in Sendai City have been successfully restored and rehabilitated after the disaster, with different hardware and software measures. In contrast, sewer systems in small municipalities seriously damaged by the tsunami are still taking time to rehabilitate.

    Iwaki River system Aseishi River History of Aseishigawa Dam June 1971: Implementation plan survey begins Aseishigawa Dam Mascots April 1973: Atchan and Papa Construction begins December 1975: Conclusion reached on compensation standards and agreement signed (201 properties submerged) September 1979: Construction of main dam structure begins August 1986: Concrete casting of main dam structure is completed November 1987: Trial flooding begins October 1988: Construction is completed April 1989: Transition made to management and operations April 2017: Renamed Aseishigawa Dam Management Branch October 2018: Aomori prefecture 30th anniversary of operations Iwaki River Aseishigawa Dam Akita prefecture Iwate prefecture The Aseishigawa Dam is a concrete gravity dam constructed to stabilize water demand and to upgrade flood control functions as a replacement to the Okiura Dam completed in 1945. The Aseishigawa Dam is a “multipurpose dam” that has four different roles: flood control, river ecosystem conservation, municipal water supply, and power generation. Aseishigawa Dam’s functions Mitigating flood disasters Maintaining proper waterflow functions Planned flood discharge at dam site: Providing consistent replenishment for existing Adjusted from 2,000m3/sec to 500m3/sec water supplies, and conserving the river’s ecosystem. Generating power Supplying municipal water Water supply to the 9 municipalities of Kuroishi, Maximum generation output: 17,100 kW Hirosaki, Goshogawara, Hirakawa, Aomori, Fujisaki, Itayanagi, Tsuruta, and Inakadate Up to 132,800 m3/day Aseishigawa Dam and Reservoir Specifications Dam and Reservoir Specifications Dam crown: EL.201.00 m River Aseishigawa River, Iwaki River system, Class-A River <Flood season> (Jul 1 thru Sept 30) <Outside of flood season> Maximum water level during floods: EL.

  • Damage Patterns of River Embankments Due to the 2011 Off
    Soils and Foundations 2012;52(5):890–909 The Japanese Geotechnical Society Soils and Foundations www.sciencedirect.com journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/sandf Damage patterns of river embankments due to the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake and a numerical modeling of the deformation of river embankments with a clayey subsoil layer F. Okaa,n, P. Tsaia, S. Kimotoa, R. Katob aDepartment of Civil & Earth Resources Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan bNikken Sekkei Civil Engineering Ltd., Osaka, Japan Received 3 February 2012; received in revised form 25 July 2012; accepted 1 September 2012 Available online 11 December 2012 Abstract Due to the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0, many soil-made infrastructures, such as river dikes, road embankments, railway foundations and coastal dikes, were damaged. The river dikes and their related structures were damaged at 2115 sites throughout the Tohoku and Kanto areas, including Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Saitama Prefectures, as well as the Tokyo Metropolitan District. In the first part of the present paper, the main patterns of the damaged river embankments are presented and reviewed based on the in situ research by the authors, MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) and JICE (Japan Institute of Construction Engineering). The main causes of the damage were (1) liquefaction of the foundation ground, (2) liquefaction of the soil in the river embankments due to the water-saturated region above the ground level, and (3) the long duration of the earthquake, the enormity of fault zone and the magnitude of the quake.
