This panel introduces the five water sources that support the water supply in Yokohama, the work of watershed forests, the importance of conservation, and the efforts that Water Works Bureau is doing to protect the watershed forest.
We will also exhibit an experiment kit "Forest Treasure Box" that can reproduce the water source recharge function that stores, purify, and adjust the amount flowing into the river.

You can cut water source forest thinning * (hinoki logs) to make original coasters.
What is thinned wood *? Wood produced when thinning (thinned) trees in the forest.

Using natural materials such as acorns and branches, you can enjoy the coasters made by log cutting experience and decorating wood that can be used as door plates!

This is a booth by Metawater Corporation, which manages and operates Kawai Purification Plant.
You can learn how the water brought from the water source is cleaned at a water purification plant using an experimental set.

I'll hand out cold tap water.
How about safe and high quality tap water in Yokohama on a hot summer day?

This is an introduction and a product exhibition of Michishi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, where Yokohama City owns a watershed forest.
We offer a lot of fresh vegetables and specialty products such as Cresson grown in the rich nature of Doshi Village.

"Water Day" is a joint booth of three stations, Water Works Bureau, Environmental Planning Bureau and Road and Highway Bureau.
We will introduce videos and leaflets about how the water circulating around us is involved in our lives and the importance of "water cycle".

It is a booth covered with thinned wood (wood chips) from the water source forest!
In front of the square, there is also a lawn area where you can relax freely.
Please enjoy a space like a forest while being healed by the scent of cypress.
