| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a new model, which means it possible to evaluate the effects of flood control measures including rainfall harvesting. We were able to obtain good results by calculating the moisture movement in water-retentive ceramics and measuring the thermal change of surface temperature in case of the ceramic laying. Through this means, we can evaluate environmental impact in a quantitative way, when the ceramics is laid. We plan to update this model, to include human activities for future iterations of this case study. In addition, we plan to raise the precision of evaluating environmental effects through construction of a higher-accuracy model.
