Hot water reservoir - Onsui tameike

...In these circumstances, it is necessary to give full consideration to new functions and multipurpose uses, such as using reservoirs as intermediate storage facilities between the main irrigation channel from the dam and the terminal channel to conserve and effectively use water, preserving them as recreational spaces, and using them as disaster prevention reservoirs that compensate for the loss of water retention and floodplain areas due to urbanization and prevent the runoff of precipitation into river channels in addition to their original irrigation function, without unnecessarily destroying them. In cold regions and areas with low water temperatures, heated reservoirs are also used, where the water is kept shallow and stored for 1-3 days to raise the water temperature (3-5°C) before use as irrigation water. [Shirai Yoshihiko]

…このような状況において,溜池をいたずらに壊廃することなく,ダムからの幹線灌漑水路から末端の水路に至る中間の貯留施設として用水の節水と効果的利用の役割を担わせたり,レクリエーション・スペースとして保存したり,本来の灌漑機能に加えて,都市化による保水・遊水地域の減少を補い,河道への降水の流出抑制機能をもつ防災溜池として利用するなど,新しい機能や多目的な利用についても,十分考慮する必要がある。寒冷地や用水温の低い地域では,水深を浅くし,灌漑水として使用する前に1~3日間貯留して水温を上昇(3~5℃)させる温水溜池の利用も行われている。【白井 義彦】
