IEA Hydropower Implementing Agreement Annex VIII - Hydropower Good Practices: Environmental Mitigation Measures and Benefits Case Study 05-02: Water Quality – Hida River System, Japan Key Issues: 5- Water Quality 14- Development of Regional Industries Climatic Zone: Cf: Temperate Humid Climate Subjects: - Selective intake, techniques to operate a group of dams Effects: - Mitigation of turbid water persistence Project Name: Hydropower Dams in Hida River System Country: Gifu Prefecture, Japan (Asia) (N35˚56’ – N36˚4’, E137˚15’ – 29’) Implementing Party & Period - Project: Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. 1969 (Completion of construction) - - Good Practices: Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. 1983 (Commencement of operation) - Key Words: turbid water, selective intake, operation of reservoirs Abstract: In the Hida River basin, there are several power stations, and turbid water persistence became a problem shortly after the completion of the Asahi Dam in 1953. To solve this problem, selective intake facilities were constructed at the Asahi Dam and the Takane No.1 Dam. Using these facilities, coupled with power plant operation at 4 dams in the Hida River, the persistent turbidity has been gradually decreasing. 1. Outline of the Project The Hida River is the Kiso River System’s largest tributary with a total watercourse length of 134km and a total catchment area of 2,177m 2 that originates in Mt. Norikura and Mt. Ontake located in the southernmost part of the North Japan Alps and flows southward meeting many tributaries including the Akigami and Maze Rivers to finally join the Kiso river in Mino Kamo City (Fig.-1). Many power source development projects have been conducted in the Hida river basin since long ago, and currently the total number of power stations and the total of the permitted/approved maximum outputs are 23 and approximately 1.14 million kW, respectively (Table-1). -

They include government bodies ICOLD as the Japan National Committee on Large Dams. concerned with dam construction, electric power companies, In 1944, Japan withdrew from ICOLD during the World survey and research bodies, academic associations, War II, then rejoined in March 1953. On September 13, industrial associations, construction consultants, 1962, the Japan Commission on Large Dams was construction companies, and manufacturers (75 members as established, and in January 2012, it became a General of January 2015). Incorporated Association. Operation JCOLD is involved in operations such as surveys, research, international technology exchanges, etc. concerning large dams and related facilities (below, “large dams”), in order to improve the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of large dams and to contribute to the development of the Japanese economy. Responsibilities include: Collection of information, surveying, and research concerning large dams (1) Exchange of technology and guidance concerning large dams (2) Participation in ICOLD, assistance with its activities, and international exchange of technology concerning large dams (3) Introduction of and spreading awareness of the achievements of surveys and research concerning large dams (4) Other activities necessary to achieve the goals of JCOLD In recent years, JCOLD has actively conducted a program of surveys and research on methods of harmonizing dam development with the environment and on ways to mitigate their environmental impacts to achieve the sustainable development of dams. -

These pesti- cides have been regulated in many jurisdictions, including the European Union (EU), the United States, and the United Kingdom, due to adverse effects on non-target organisms, whereas some of these pesticides are permitted in Japan. In the present study, we have 1) measured levels of these pesti- cides at 103 locations (n = 672) across Gifu Prefecture, 2) analyzed the monthly trends and regionality using R and ArcGIS, and 3) created a predicted contamination map by an ordinary kriging analysis. -

Around 1960, in the the heyday of cinema, you will find big spots in big cities, smaller spots in in smaller cities, and some scattered spots which represent movie houses in towns. So far as expected. Sometimes, however, you will find spots spots in remote, mountainous areas, and some of these spots are even quite quite big. How did movie houses come to be among the mountains? How was it possible for them to exist? Let Let us have a brief look at the history of the places where films were shown. When the first films appeared in 1895, places for showings had to be found. Typically, showings were held in cafes or restaurants, or or variety theaters. As cinema proved to be more than a short-term craze, craze, the first picture houses emerged at the beginning of the new cen- tury. tury. Quite often, suitable spaces were adapted, but before long pur- pose-built pose-built movie theaters were constructed. One of the first was the Denki-Kan (電気館) in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, which opened in 1903.
