Hiyoshi Dam retaining flood water that exceeded the SWL Hiyoshi Dam reduced the discharge of 1,540m 3 /s against the maximum inflow of 1,690m 3 /s. After that, to prevent overtopping, added discharge according to actual downstream condition.

Coordinated Operations of Kizu River Upstream Dam Group 5 dams conducted cooperative operation to decrease the water level at the confluence point. As a result, This operation contributed to reduce 70% of Kizu River flow volume. Kyoto Uji R. Kizu R.

Flood Fighting Activities by People Water Depth of Overflow was within 20cm. This condition meets the diligent activities of Municipal Flood Fighting organization and the Self Defense Force. This water level was the Outcome of Coordinated Operation of 7dams. Flood Fighting Activities for Overflowed Embankment (Sandbags were stacked) Katsura River Activities by Municipal Flood Fighting organization Activities by the Self Defense Force 9
