◆Proof of effectiveness even in heavy rain
Using a rainwater and soil flow simulation system developed by Applied Geology at a site in Shizuoka and coal ash by Kurinka (Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture, President Shinichi Umeki) The combined use of Water-retaining materials are starting to pay off. The simulation was carried out on the site of a steel tower of the Electricity Development Transmission and Substation Network (J-Power Transmission and Transformer Station) located in Oyama Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. Based on the characteristics of surface water and sediment, they were able to predict the most effective locations to place water-retaining materials and were successful in blocking sediment flow.
Location of simulation (July this year). In the front yard where Kurinka is located, the soil does not overflow and the vegetation recovers from the heavy rain.
