Research Abstract

Not only geographical features but also structures of water cycle of river catchments change due to the land reclamation works. And these changes lead the change in runoff properties. To examine this, three small runoff test plots (two of them are reclaimed upland fields and the rest is forestry area) were set in the Tango national reclamation project area in northern part of Kyoto prefecture, and soil and runoff experiments were conducted in these plots.
The results of soil tests in both the reclaimed and the non-reclaimed plots are as follows;
1. Water holding capacity has been lowered due to the removal of A0 and/or A1 horizons and the increase of the solid-phase percentage of soil after the reclamation.
2. Soil permiability has been also lowered due to the various reclamation works with the large construction machinery.
3. Construction of water channels and farm roads have also led to the decrease of permiability and water holding capacity of reclaimed plots.
The results of investigations for the runoff properties are as follows;
1. Peak discharge increased much due to the reclamation. Thiswas a reflection of the decrease of concentration time and the increase of coefficient of peak discharge which were led by the change in soil physical properties described above.
2. Though change in low water properties has not been clarified yet because of the shortage of hydrological records during the investigating periods, a slight change in the recession constant of discharge have been recognized.
3. Settling basins constructed in the downstream of reclaimed plots have been much efficient both for fllog control and for low-water supplement in drought seacon.
