Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main study site was placed in the Rokugo alluvial fan (39: 25 ° N, 140 ° 34'E), Akita prefecture, and I got the following results.
1. I pumped the groundwater and made an experiment using the groundwater temperature to melt the snow on the roof of private house and the snow of living road around house. By adopting the sprinkling method, it was confirmed that snow melting was possible. 2. I confirmed the system to use the amount of pumped water and the amount of water produced due to snow melting into the artificial groundwater recharge ponds. 3. In order to obtain basic data, observation of hydraulic head and groundwater temperature was continued at the two piezometer sites, Nonaka and Umamachi in the fan. Both water volume and groundwater temperature are suitable for realizing this research. 4. The results of this research can be expected to contribute to snow melting behavior in aging society.
