The storage rate of the Aburaki Dam, which serves as Kanda Town\u2019s source of water, has led to reduced pressure and the amount of water sent to homes and other facilities. Due to the lack of rainfall this year, the dam\u2019s water storage rate dropped to 15.2% at midnight on June 13. Authorities are calling the public in the area to conserve the use of water. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/rkb.jp\/news-rkb\/202206132006\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossroadfukuoka.jp\/library\/?mode=detail&amp;id=1322\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146850\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_aburaki-dam_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Concern Over Low Water Levels at Fukuoka\u2019s Dams\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_aburaki-dam_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_aburaki-dam_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_aburaki-dam_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_aburaki-dam_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\u00a9\u798f\u5ca1\u770c\u89b3\u5149\u9023\u76df<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
