[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The secondary product of the waterway block is simply a U-shaped groove, or the surrounding wall in the basin is almost vertical. It is well known that slopes or stairs for people going up and down have been constructed by cast-in-place in large waterways. However, small animals such as frogs, snakes, and insects can no longer crawl in the case of a channel block with smooth sidewalls, even if it is a channel of a small groove block, and it will no longer be able to crawl, causing drowning or starvation. I used to do it. Especially in the forests and waterways in the wilderness, there were many damages.
