…The meetings between the proponents and opponents continued until the end of April 1995, but the two sides remained at odds, and the estuary barrage was completed and began operation at the end of May. [Takahashi Momoyuki]
[history]
In the old days, the main stream of the Nagara River was the upstream Gujo River, which flowed west from Nakaya in Yamagata County to join the Ijira River, then flowed south from Iwari in Katagata County (both now in Gifu City) to join the Tsubo River, and then joined the Sakai River (Kiso River) at Sunomata. However, in 1534 (Tenbun 3), due to a major flood of the Gujo River, it flowed south from Nakaya, joined the Tsubo River at Akutami, and passed through Nagara and Kagashima (both now in Gifu City) to enter the Sakai River. In the flood of 1611 (Keicho 16), the Shinkawa River branched off in front of Nagara Sofukuji Temple and joined the Ijira River.
