A Proposal for Sediment Control Countermeasures in Non-Flowing Mountain Streams
In Japan, the heavy rain disaster that occurred in July 2018 revealed that about 70% of the streams affected by debris flows that resulted in human casualties were small, steep mountain streams with a catchment area < 0.05 km2. Generally, many streams that are close to residential houses or roads do not have a constant flow of water and are known to pose a high risk of human fatalities when a debris flow occurs. This study aimed to promote sediment control as debris flow countermeasures in non-flowing mountain streams, utilizing secondary manufactured products (permeable debris flow barriers) with excellent constructability, focusing on the mechanism of sediment outflow from the gaps between a permeable debris flow barrier and mountain stream side banks. The necessity and effectiveness of preventative measures based on preliminary experimental results are presented. When impermeable structures were installed at both ends of the permeable debris flow barrier side, compared to using only a permeable debris flow barrier (covering the entire width with permeable debris flow barriers), we found that the capture function improved significantly, achieving a 200% increase in effectiveness.
