Outline of Development of well-balanced urban water use system adapted to climate change

This project aims to reexamine the current urban water use system and propose a new one adaptive to the future climate change. In the new system, each water resource is properly allocated to each water use by considering the balance between water supply and demand. This requires information on available amount and detailed quality of various water resources. Two river watersheds; Ara river, Japan and Hon river, Vietnam, are selected as research fields. They are located both in Asian monsoon area but are on different phases in economic and demographic growths. We are pursuing urban water use strategies suitable for each watershed from various angles.
