- Kiso Three Rivers
The nihongo|Kiso Three Rivers|木曽三川|Kiso Sansen refers to the three major rivers that make up the
alluvial plain area of theNōbi Plain . The three rivers are theKiso River , theIbi River and theNagara River . Given their location, they are sometimes referred to as the Nōbi Three Rivers (濃尾三川 "Nōbi Sansen").Flow
At various points downstream, the rivers flow together and then separate again, often leading to flooding and water damage. Since the
Edo period , much work has been done to plan dykes and other structures that will help control the rivers. In the late part of the 19th century, rulers of theSatsuma domain worked with the Dutch engineerJohannis de Rijke to help with flood control of the area.Attractions
