Regional Water Environment System (Kojiri Laboratory)

Management of water utilization systems including conservation and improvement of water environments

Based on the three dimensional hydrological cycle model linking atmosphere, surface water, and ground water, comprehensive environment dynamics model considering the effects of regional development, water use, and pollutant release is being developed. The concept of integrated water resources management harmonizing with water environment/culture is proposed. Many studies related to global warming issues are in progress such as detection and correction of climate model biases, future projection of urban climate, statistical downscaling of global warming projection information, assessing the impact of climate change on flood and drought, etc.
