Statement on Auditing residents who claim Asakawa dam (15) as one of the stated opinion.
Peace Action is a citizen Kitayama Sanae Matsumoto. Since last statement gives the bigger picture from the problems of the dam.
Imamoto Hiroshi engineer Ken Rivers, professor emeritus at Kyoto University, "dam" to avoid catastrophic damage caused by flooding is not limited, "just might help, nothing in peacetime continue to destroy the environment be. Originally, the mission of flood control is to avoid catastrophic damage to cause any major flooding. The flood was subjected to a certain limit, this mission is not fulfilled. flood control of the future need to go back to the origin of the flood control mission, "we said.
Japan's current dam is supposed to calculate the flood desk is constructed in order to prevent it. It is not saying that it limited. Asakawa also decided to postpone a number of rainfall patterns in 1986 were outside water damage, dam is by means other than try to meet this number. But this assumption is not going to happen once the flood in 100 years, hundreds of years, probably once every thousand years Shirezu, it is far beyond the life of the dam. Such gambling (gambling), it is to build dams with tens of billions of yen in tax money like that, please understand that first.
In addition, the flooding is limited for the dam, for example, causing catastrophic damage and heavy rain that falls in urban guerrillas, the rain falls over the mountains Tachimasen assumed the role. The biggest problem in inland damage Asakawa, it is useless, it is something like the fate of the dam.
Imamoto teacher saying that scholars, in fact, the residents feel. For example, from a car trapped or killed crossing a road in heavy rain flooded, or the elderly who died late escape, but was out of the dam embankment, and hear such talk in the news, " State or province, even If you build the dam, saying that as if I survive like everyone from the flood that's not really different from me? "and the national citizens, many have doubts. That's why it was chosen as a policy the government announced Hatoyama dam.
Extra money to put into this dam, what county there is also a country? Is not clear, the building of the dam turning back to haunt the children. Not only debt. "Peacetime environment continues to destroy the dam" is the next generation be said to turn the high price in terms of the environment. Asakawa dam is a typical example.
In order to fulfill the mission of flood control to prevent catastrophic damage to any major flooding, will you do? First, "to build" a review of subsidies that have a way of support from the country, so we will get is to assist in the maintenance and strengthening of river embankments.
For example, Takase River is the base of the levee had been hollowed areas near the old addiction Ikeda bank collapse. Province "of why leave it?" He said, "We can only re-certification at a cost not just for the county a disaster waiting to break more," it said.
The water system 鎖川 Igawa Nara seawall has been concerned about corruption has hollowed bed, has asked for six before the industrial belt, barely one whole Tsukimashita budget from last year. Again, this is just business for the county to maintain the bank falls.
As well as reinforcement of the levee, the river environment and maintenance of all county single, subsidies from the national scheme for large-scale new projects only Tsukanai Dam. Office of field staff Igawa Nara Buddha dam project was stopped a country in Matsumoto City, "even if we diligently maintenance, not a big disaster happens," I said. It should not change the structure of subsidies and.
Next, Takahashi Hiroshi's papers had been professor emeritus at Tokyo's Asahi Shimbun on this Sunday just "total flood" is. It is not hard structures by allowing the overflow of flood control measures intended to minimize damage, and flood control basin, provided a bank or two lines on the road behind a high embankment, before the Meiji I think using the traditional measures. Other hazard maps and combines soft measures such as flood control land use in areas easily.
The new administration's review of the dam is going to be here. The crucial are about to be made a radical change of water policy, I do, the construction of the dam body and Asakawa in Nagano, Afghanistan, undone, and made a stupid thing, is said to later generations, the root of evil definitely leaves.
Nagano mayor in the survey, 62.3 percent of citizens "should be reviewed Asakawa dam" is saying.
The next generation to take over the river better, with a strong will be comparable to the Meiji Restoration abolished carried out a "dam" "dyke reinforcement," "Measures for flood actually happening", and valuable tax be used, Surubeku change from Nagano, the audit committee if everyone was asking for courageous decisions, and our statement.
