Facebook Aunt posted:It is sort of interesting that they dealt with a stream on a steep incline as a series of grassy flat terraces rather than a solid concrete U-shape. When the water level is low you can easily cross on foot. Not really funny, but we don't have a vaguely interesting pictures thread. You'll find the same kind of thing in places in the Alps. It means that the stream is not always that small and harmless.

You can plan for that regular cycle.

But when they add concrete they tend to use steep sides, so even during the summer when the creek bed is nearly dry you wouldn't easily be able to cross except at the bridges.  Not a funny picture.

When the water level is low you can easily cross on foot. Not really funny, but we don't have a vaguely interesting pictures thread. I know this is a derail but a solid concrete U shape is an awful stream profile for both aquatic life and stormwater management. What you're looking at in the picture is a kind of overly engineered step-pool setup that kinda vaugely mimics a natural stream profile. The concrete walls are set up as weirs to handle high flows, and the wide terraces help dissipate energy as the water drops and spreads. So this helps control erosion or flooding down stream. If it was just a U-shaped trough, the water would run down through there like a bowling ball down a waterslide. And just the same, whatever is at the end is going to take a beating. So basically, do never concrete streambanks. Facebook Aunt posted:I know, we have streams like that here too. But when they add concrete they tend to use steep sides, so even during the summer when the creek bed is nearly dry you wouldn't easily be able to cross except at the bridges. Like, this is 100% one of the best ways to gently caress up a stream and exacerbate flooding. It used to be done everywhere, even for simple aesthetic purposes, but putting high walls, levees, etc. usually leads to heartbreak somewhere down the line.

Guy Goodbody posted:motherfucking duck ramps A congressman got ridiculously mad that these existed and tweeted about how it was government waste. Everyone was like "what, now the ducks can get in and out of the reflecting pool, that's good". Then when people added his outrage to his wikipedia page, he had his staffers go back and remove it. Then he denied it when people called his office and asked if he was the one who did it, even though the edits came from the House of Representatives' IP address and an IP in his home district. Duck ramps, man. Duck ramps.

Also, afaik, you don't need a permit to fish in Japan, which means that tons of people do it, all the time. If they didn't make the river accessible the fire department would be getting tons of calls from people who climbed down to fish and are now stuck.

Some fine folks did wonderful things with the Harry Potter audio books. https://youtu.be/FwJlrj8CNzk Pretty sure I heard ejaculate somewhere in there.

Over the last hundred years several kilometers of the stream have been completely roofed over with roads and parking lots. What hasn't been roofed over was straightened and forced into narrow manmade channels.  What a delightful creek.  A few years ago they started a 100 year plan to fix it. lol
