Kagawa Waterworks Project

Japanese: 香川用水事業 - かがわようすいじぎょう
Kagawa Waterworks Project

...Since the late 1960s, projects to store the abundant water of southern Shikoku in dams and send it to northern Shikoku have become popular. In Ehime Prefecture, water is sent from the Omogo Dam (completed in 1965) to the Dozen and Dogo plains, and from the Yanase Dam (Kinsha Lake, completed in 1953) to the Toyo Industrial Region. The largest projects were the Sameura Dam (completed in 1973) in Kochi Prefecture and the Kagawa Waterworks Project, which in 1974 built a tunnel through the Sanuki Mountains to send part of the Yoshino River water to the Sanuki Plain. These projects have largely solved the water shortage problem on the Seto Inland Sea side.

*Some of the terminology used in reference to the Kagawa Waterworks Project is listed below.
