History

The small and medium river refurbishment project was started in 1949 on the Tessouchi River flowing through Wessai City. As a result, levees capable of withstanding a flood of 700 cubic meters per second. However, the levees were broke due to flood damage in July, 1966. As a result, dam construction began.
