Geocache Description:

Demizu River is a tributary of the Kurome River.
Headwaters of Demizu River has been a depression of nearby Hagiyama Station of Seibu Haijima Line.
However, we will be able to see the river in the downstream from Shin-Ome Kaido.
Demizu River will join in the vicinity of the Heisei Bridge and Kurome River.
 


Origin of the Demizu river is said to be "the amount of water of about overflowing with normal rain."
However, the river dried up, because it does not follow the water more than a year, does not increase age, it is also is called Toshitorazu River.

Demizugawa Bridge is downstream of the bridge from the upstream end about 500m.
Two roads intersect.
Two roads is an old road that is listed on the map of the Meiji era.
One road is prefectural 129 Route.
This road is connected between  Higashikurume to Higashimurayama.
Demizugawa Bridge, is a bridge of prefectural 129 Route side.
You can see the water in this area, but it has dried up in part only.
I ask to talk to the local old woman.
She, a long time ago told it was a dirty river that sewage flows.
She also, now, sewage told also that flows under the river.

I placed cache at Demizugawa Bridge.
Cache size is micro.
Please bring your pen.

出水川(でみずがわ)西武拝島線の萩山駅付近を源流とする川です。
出水川は黒目川の支流で、平成橋付近で黒目川と合流します。
現在では新青梅街道の交差地点から下流しか残っていません。

出水川の由来は「雨が降ると溢れるほどの水量となる」といわれます。
また「川の水が翌年まで持ち越さないでその年中に渇水となる」ことから不老川(としとらずがわ)という別名もあるそうです。

出水川橋は上流端から500mくらい下流の橋です。
二つの道が交差していますが、この二つの道は明治時代の地図にも載っている古い道です。
出水川橋は、東久留米と東村山をつなぐ都道129号線側の橋です。
このあたりでも水を見ることができますが、一部のみで干上がっています。
地元の人にお話を伺うと昔は下水が流れる汚い川だったそうです。
今は下水は川の下を流れているそうです。

キャッシュは出水川橋に設置しました。
マイクロサイズなので、ペンをお持ちください。
