The Tedori River rises from Mt. Hakusan, and its course reaches 72Km. It is the largest and first class river in this prefecture.
The Tedori River is such a rapid stream that rampageously overflows its banks. It has often caused serious floods up to now. Therefore, it was the most important problem for the people who had to govern the Kaga Province to improve their rivers so that the trouble and fears of floods can be removed.
I'll mention about the past technique of flood prevention: how their banks were built to protect their villages as well as how the large embankment of the Tedori River has been done.
The Shichika Watercouse takes in water from the Tedori River by utilizing its tributary rivers and streams which were made by the flood and overflow of the Tedori River.
I'll also mention about how people have grappled with their riparian construction and works from the feudal period of the Kaga Province.
