River and Environmental Engineering Laboratory
Supporting river environmental management considering the balance between people and nature based on science and technology
We are developing river technology that connects river basin environmental management and local river channel design. We are studying various river engineering issues between the social environment, such as land use and economic activities in river basins and the natural environment, such as floods, droughts, and river ecosystems, from a synoptic framework of river basins. We aim to realise a sustainable, safe, and secure regional environment by researching in detail river vegetation management, water temperature analysis, and the relationship between river basin topography and land use.
