English: Based on this plan, the Setagawa-araizeki Barrage was upgraded, and Amagase Dam over the Yodo-gawa River, Takayama Dam (initially Tsukigase Dam) over the Nabari-gawa River, and Muro Dam (initially Udagawa Dam) over the Uda-gawa River were built.
Japanese: この計画に基づいて瀬田川洗堰改築・天ヶ瀬ダム（淀川）、高山ダム（計画当時は月ヶ瀬ダム)(名張川）、室生ダム（計画当時は宇陀川ダム)(宇陀川）が計画・建設された。
English: In 1962, for the Yodo-gawa River System, the 'Yodo-gawa River System Water Resources Development Basic Plan' was created based on the 'Water Resources Development Promotion Law' in order to cope with pressing water demands due to the growing population in the Kansai region.

Japanese: こうして淀川水系の総合開発は整備されていくが淀川・木津川と並ぶ主要支川である桂川に関しては、1961年（昭和36年）に当時の京都府園部町と日吉町の町境地先に「淀川水系改訂基本計画」に基づくダム計画が持ち上がった。
English: This dam plan, originally called 'Miyamura Dam,' developed to be the subsequent Hiyoshi Dam Project.
Japanese: 当時は「宮村ダム」と呼ばれていたこのダム計画こそ、後の日吉ダム事業である。
English: Although Hozu-kyo Valley around the middle reaches of the Katsura-gawa River (this part of the river is also called the Hozu-gawa River) is a major sightseeing spot that attracts many tourists for river rafting and the scenic beauty of Mt. Arashi, this valley had serious problems in terms of flood control.
Japanese: 桂川は中流部に保津峡（この辺りは保津川と別称される）があり川下りや嵐山等といった風光明媚な観光地として多くの観光客が訪れる京都を代表する観光地であるが、治水の観点からは極めて問題な地形であった。
English: Hozu-kyo valley is so narrow that it inhibits the flow of flood water caused by heavy rain and easily inundates Kameoka City and Funai-gun County upstream, acting as a natural flood control basin.
Japanese: 保津峡で川幅が狭くなる為に洪水流下能力が著しく阻害され、上流の亀岡市や船井郡は大雨が降ると容易に湛水し易くさながら天然の遊水地状態になる。

English: Building barrages and dredging the river bed had only a limited effect, and it was almost impossible to improve the river further because of compensation issues, while there were growing calls for fundamental flood control measures, and demand for water was rapidly increasing due to the rapid growth of the population in the Kansai region.
Japanese: 堤防建設や浚渫では限界が出てきており、宅地化の進行でこれ以上の河川改修は補償の観点から難しく、抜本的な治水対策が叫ばれる一方で関西圏地域の人口急増に伴い水需要も引き続き急増していた。

English: So in order to achieve better flood control, the building of Hinachi Dam (over the Nabari-gawa River) was planned and flood control using dams was also demanded for the Katsura-gawa area.
Japanese: これに伴い洪水調節を強化する為比奈知ダム（名張川）等の建設が計画されたが、桂川流域においてもダムによる洪水調節が求められた。
English: Hiyoshi Dam was incorporated in this basic plan as a major dam project, but at that time it was named 'Miyamura Dam.'
Japanese: 当初「宮村ダム」として計画されていた日吉ダムはこの時に本格的なダム事業として基本計画に入った。
English: The Water Resources Development Public Corporation revised the 'Yodo-gawa River System Construction Implementation Basic Plan' and it was planned to construct the dam as a multipurpose dam based on the 'Water Resources Development Public Corporation Law' the same year.
Japanese: 水資源開発公団は「淀川水系水資源開発基本計画」の変更を行い、「水資源開発公団法」に基づく多目的ダムとして建設を同年より計画した。
English: It was completed in 1997, twenty-five years after the announcement of the plan to construct it, with the following purposes; flood control, the description of specifications and purposes of dams in Japan (maintaining the current flow of the Katsura-gawa River, and protecting the natural river environment), and the supply of drinking water to Osaka City, Kyoto City, Kobe City, Nishinomiya City, and Ashiya City.
Japanese: 洪水調節、日本のダムダム諸元に関する表記（桂川の河川流量を維持し、河川環境を守る）、大阪市・京都市・神戸市・西宮市・芦屋市への上水道供給を目的とし、計画発表から25年後の1997年（平成9年）に完成した。
English: Because 188 households in Hiyoshi-cho were to be submerged through the building of this dam, the residents formed 'Hiyoshi Dam Taisakukyogikai Amawaka Domei' (Amawaka Association, Hiyoshi Dam Opposition Movement) in 1961 when the plan to build 'Miyamura Dam' was announced, and they staged an uncompromising opposition movement against the plan involving people of the whole town for twenty-four years until September 1984 when the compensation negotiations were settled.
Japanese: このダム建設によって日吉町の188世帯が水没する事になり、「宮村ダム」計画発表の1961年に「日吉ダム対策協議会天若同盟」を住民は結成し、以来1984年（昭和59年）9月に補償交渉が妥結するまでの24年間、町を挙げた強固な反対運動を展開した。
English: The negotiation finally reached settlement based on the following conditions: (1) the designation of this dam for Chapter Nine of the Act on Special Measures concerning Measures Related to Water Resources Areas, (2) raising the share of national subsidy for compensation, and (3) the implementation of comprehensive measures for regional economic development.
Japanese: この為水源地域対策特別措置法9条指定ダムとして補償額の国庫補助率を嵩上げした他、総合的な地域振興策を実施する事で漸く妥結した経緯がある。
English: In 1994, when it was still under construction, regarding dams and dam lakes as essential for regional development, the Construction Ministry promoted the policy of 'Dams Friendly and Open to the Regions' in the aim of making dams contribute to regional economic development by actively opening them to the public and by promoting them as tourist attractions.
Japanese: 折から建設中の1994年（平成6年）、建設省はダム・ダム湖を地域活性化の要とし、観光地としての価値をダムに持たせ地域振興に寄与する事を目的にダムの積極的な一般開放を目指して「地域に開かれたダム」施策を実施した。
English: Hiyoshi Dam being the first to be designated for the measures, systematic and wide spread development of the neighborhood was carried out in cooperation with Hiyoshi-cho and other organizations.
Japanese: 日吉ダムはその第1号として指定され、日吉町等と連携して計画的且つ広大な周辺整備に力を入れた。
English: At the downstream side of the dam, they constructed a hot spring facility 'Springs Hiyoshi,' which is equipped with hot springs, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium, and planted grass over a wide area to create a park with a camp site.

English: They also built Hiyoshi-cho Kyodoshiryokan (Hiyoshi-cho Town Folk Museum) and Kyoto Fumin no Mori (Kyoto Prefectural Citizen's Forest) in the area, and the dam lake, Lake Amawakako, became popular as the best spot for fishing in the north of the Kansai region, with a reciprocal effect of creating an extensive outdoor pleasure spot including Ono Dam and Wachi Dam which had long been famous in the country for bass fishing, and the Yura-gawa River which provided a course for the canoe competition at Kyoto Kokutai (National Sports Festival) in 1963.
Japanese: 日吉町郷土資料館や京都府民の森等もダム近辺に整備、また天若湖は関西北部屈指の釣りスポットとして有名となり、古くから全国的にバスフィッシングで有名な大野ダム、和知ダム、63年京都国体のカヌー会場にもなった由良川との相乗効果で一大アウトドアスポットとした。
English: A walking trail around the dam lake was made fit for hiking, marathons and jogging.
Japanese: ダム湖周辺には遊歩道を整備しハイキングコースとした他、マラソンやジョギングし易く路面を整備した。
English: This dam is also popular with people in neighboring cities, because its access roads are maintained in a better condition than other dams, and it is close to major arterial roads such as Sonobe Interchange of National Route 9, Kyoto Longitudinal Expressway, National Route 372, and National Route 477.
Japanese: さらには国道9号、京都縦貫自動車道園部I.C.、国道372号、国道477号といった主要幹線道路から近く、他のダムと比較して道路整備が進んでいることも近隣都市部から人気のある理由である。
English: Thus, as a result of the cooperation of the administrators of the dam and the residents who had sacrificed their lands for the dam and for regional development, the area around Hiyoshi Dam grew to be a major leisure area for the people of Kyoto Prefecture, and it is now an established sightseeing spot in Tanba region.
Japanese: こうして、ダム管理者とダムによって犠牲を強いられた地元が協力しダムを地域振興の拠点として整備に注力した結果、日吉ダム周辺は京都府民の一大レジャースポットとして成長、現在は丹波地域の観光地として定着した。
English: It makes an economically significant contribution to the area, because a growing number of tourists visit Michi no Eki (a roadside rest site with a market of local products aimed at tourists) and other commercial facilities on their way to this dam.
Japanese: また来訪者が道中の道の駅や商業施設に立ち寄る頻度が増えたことから経済効果が相当ある。
English: The research of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the number of yearly visitors to dams under the direct control of the ministry and under the Japan Water Agency shows 870,000 people visit this dam per year, second to Gosho Dam in Iwate Prefecture (the Shizukuishi-gawa River of Kitakami-gawa River System, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Tohoku Regional Bureau).
Japanese: 国土交通省調査による直轄・機構管理ダムの年間利用者数で岩手県の御所ダム（北上川水系雫石川、国土交通省東北地方整備局）に次ぎ年間87万人の利用者が訪れるという結果となった。

Japanese: 近隣に古くから全国的にバスフィッシングで有名な大野ダム、和知ダムがあることもありブラックバス等を求めて多くのフィッシング愛好家が平日・休日問わず大挙して訪れる。
English: Because black bass had been released in the lake created by Segi Dam upstream, many big fish of ranker size have been caught since Hiyoshi Dam was completed.
Japanese: ブラックバスは世木ダム時代から流入しており、日吉ダム完成初頭からランカークラスの良型が多数上がっている。
English: It is very popular with bass anglers, because it has a variety of fishing points and is a good size where it is possible to cover all the points in a day.

Japanese: また都市部郊外であるため有名バスプロのビデオ撮影やＴＶ取材、専門誌、釣新聞の記事になる機会が多い。
English: Because its good location and popularity produce a high revenue from fishing fees, it exists in harmony with the local fisheries cooperative association.
Japanese: その立地条件とその有名度で入漁料収入による収益アップとなり地元漁協と共生が取れている。
