This is Japan's first large-scale rock-fill dam, located upstream of the Shogawa River, which flows north through the western part of the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture. The geology of the dam site is complex, with underground faults and is weak, so it was built by piling up stones and clay as a safer and more economical method than building a concrete dam. Full-scale construction began in 1957 and was completed in 1961. The dam's dam is 131 meters high, 405 meters long, and has a volume of approximately 8 million cubic meters. Its reservoir area is 8.8 square kilometers, and it is 760 meters above sea level when full. The Miboro No. 1 Power Station, built underground on the left bank of the Shogawa River, has an effective head of over 192 meters, a maximum water consumption of 130 tons per second, and a maximum output of 215,000 kilowatts. The construction of this dam forced the people of about 250 households to leave their ancestral land and move out of the village. In addition, a rockfill dam was built upstream of the Oshirakawa River, a tributary of the Shogawa River, at an altitude of 1,230 meters. The water stored in the Oshirakawa Dam is diverted eastward into the Fukushima Valley, where it is used to generate 59,200 kilowatts of electricity with an effective head of 476 meters (Miboro No. 2 Power Plant), and the discharged water is then sent to Miboro Dam. The construction of the dam was largely funded by a loan from the World Bank and the first foreign bond issuance by the government since World War II. [Masanobu Ueshima] Miboro Dam is Japan's first rockfill dam, located upstream of the Shogawa River, which flows north through the western part of the Hida Highlands. It was completed in 1961. The dam is 131m high and 405m long. Lake Miboro has a reservoir area of approximately 8.8km.

岐阜県飛騨(ひだ)地方の西部を北流する庄川(しょうがわ)の上流にある、わが国最初の大規模ロックフィルダム。ダム建設地の地質は複雑で、地下に断層があり、軟弱であるため、堰堤(えんてい)をコンクリートにするより安全で経済的な工法として、石と粘土を積み上げて建設された。本格的な工事は1957年(昭和32)に始まり、1961年に竣工(しゅんこう)した。ダムの堰堤は高さ131メートル、長さ405メートル、体積約800万立方メートル。貯水面積8.8平方キロメートル、満水時の標高760メートル。また、庄川左岸の地下につくられた御母衣第一発電所は、有効落差192メートル余、最大使用水量毎秒130トンにより、最大出力21万5000キロワット。このダム建設に伴い、約250戸の人々が先祖伝来の土地を離れて、村外へ立ち退かねばならなかった。さらに、庄川の支流にあたる大白川(おおしらかわ)の上流、標高1230メートルの地点にもロックフィルダムが築かれた。この大白川ダムに蓄えられた水は、東の福島谷に導かれ、476メートルの有効落差によって5万9200キロワットの発電に利用され(御母衣第二発電所)、そのあとの放流水は御母衣ダムに送られる。なお、ダムの建設資金は、世界銀行からの借款と、政府による第二次世界大戦後初の外債発行によるところが大きかった。 [上島正徳] 御母衣ダムは飛騨高地西部を北流する庄川の上流にある、日本初のロックフィルダム。1961年(昭和36)竣工。堰堤は高さ131m、長さ405m。御母衣湖の貯水面積は約8.8km。岐阜県大野郡白川村©一般社団法人岐阜県観光連盟"> 御母衣ダムと御母衣湖 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
