Research Abstract

Since Japan is located in the Monsoon Asia and its flood plains have been developed in 1960s and 70s, it frequently suffers from flood. Also, because rice farming is common, it is difficult to manage supply-demand balance in the summer time. After experiencing severe water conflict, it had started relying on what they thought as a panacea, dams. But the side effects of dams have become more evident while Japan is facing severe financial deficit. This project explored four possible alternatives to change the course of actions ; from flood control to mitigation of damage from flood, water transfer, sustainable use of groundwater, mitigation of negative impacts to the local communities and the ecosystem. During two-year project period, significant progress has been made in designing legal system of water transfer and sustainable use of groundwater.
