RECWET was established in April 2000 as the first education and research center attached to the Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. Our primary mission is R&D of an advanced water-environment control system, and we strive to be a core research organization that conducts practical as well as pioneering research. To this end, we are establishing innovative systematized techniques by integrating basic sciences, such as microbial ecology, with practical sciences, such as water process engineering. Furthermore, through collaborations with researchers who are responsible for administrative action and process management at other institutions and organizations, we are pursuing academic and practical research to meet social demands.
The second period of RECWET was started in 2010. For more information, please visit the pages that introduce our activities such as the International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment and the Southeast Asian Water Environment book series.
