What can be observed via the dam’s live camera
Live Camera Information from dam cameras allows you to check the water level of the reservoir, storage capacity, inflow amount, discharge status, rising levels in downstream rivers, and surrounding weather and visibility. Live camera footage of dams is useful not only when you want to view scenic releases or seasonal changes like autumn foliage and accumulated snow, but also for checking current conditions during heavy rain, typhoons, or droughts. However, when making disaster prevention decisions, do not rely solely on the live video; please also check evacuation information and water level data published by the Japan Meteorological Agency, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and local governments.
