Field observation of turbidity, chlorophyll and current velocity was conducted in the Barato River, which is the oxbow lake in the Ishikari River. In this oxbow lake resuspension of the sediment is main factor of water pollutant. In this survey, relationship among sediment resuspension, wind speed and current velocity were investigated. And the rate of sediment resuspesion was estimated by using observation results.Clear relationship exists between wind speed and turbidity when the wind speed was larger than certain level in each survey point. We tried to estimate the rate of sediment resupension by the methods in our study. The estimated value was generally adjusted to observed results in 2005; however, considerable difference was found in 2006.

Preissmann Slot concept is one of the most extensively accepted numerical approaches in unsteady free surface pressurized flow. However Courant's stability condition has imposed this method with limitation on the size of the time step. The slot concept produces large wave celerity and a corresponding strict time step limitation with too small slot width, while inaccuracies may result with too large slot width. The equations for a surcharged flow which form the lateral model are derived incorporating the relaxation effect and compared with corresponding equations of slot model. The friction loss is evaluated in slot model by introducing the coefficient, which modifies the slot model. The pair of differential equations of Slot Model and Modified Slot Model are solved and presented in forms for direct substitution into FORTRAN programming for numerical analysis. The numerical result justifies Modified Slot Model to be more efficient for the modeling of transient flow in sewer network.

There is the case to have to make the slope of the fishway steeper than the standard range, according to the geographical features condition. In this research, measurement of flow structure and observation of swimming behavior of Leuciscus hakonensis at the hydraulic model of the pool and weir type fishway with slope 1/5 were conducted. Main results are shown as follows; 1) Ascending rate of this species in TYPE C which has short pools in flowing direction is higher than in TYPE B which has big steps between each pools when the overflow depth equals 5-10 cm, ascending rate of this species over 9-10 cm in TYPE B is higher than in TYPE C when the overflow depth equals 15-20 cm. 2) The difference of flow structure doesn't necessarily greatly influence ascending rate of this species. 3) About this species, it is necessary to select TYPE B or C corresponding to the assumed range of the overflow depth.

The acquisition ratio of observational data by ocean radar presents a cyclic variation synchronized with tidal motion and an abrupt decreasing due to the meteorological conditions. Information relevant to the property of variation of the data acquisition and the impact factors on its variation is important for practical uses of ocean radar observation systems. The authors investigated the impact factors to the data acquisition ratio of the DBF(Digital Beam Forming) ocean radar with VHF band, central frequency 41.9MHz through long-term observation in Ariake Bay. As a result, the appearance of tidal flat along the coast off Arao mainly affected the cyclic variation of the data acquisition due to the transmission loss of radio waves. Besides, the flood from Chikugo River accompanied by heavy rainfalls and the decrease of conductivity at sea surface caused the abrupt decline of the acquisition ratio. At the term of weak wind less than 1m/s, the data acquisition also decreased by way of suppression of surface resonant wave.

To investigate the impact of the actual sea surface temperature (SST) of Tokyo Bay on urban air temperature, an observation network was constructed. SST had been measured at 14 observation sites, such as the lighted buoy in Tokyo Bay since November 2006 to September 2007, and urban air temperature was simulated using the numerical modeling system, WRF, in which SST obtained from this observation was used. In this study, the following results are obtained.(1) From observational study, spatial distribution of air temperature is similar to that of SST, and air temperature over Tokyo Bay is considerably affected by air advection from the coastal land area.(2) Actual SST of Tokyo Bay has significant seasonal and diurnal variation compared with outer SST.(3) Air temperature at Tokyo increases about 0.1°C in summer if the outer SST is replaced with observed SST in Tokyo Bay in the numerical simulation.

Nature oriented hydraulic structures made of natural stones such as ripraps have been used in Japan considering river environment. Negative aspect of these structures is easy to collapse under intense flow. Therefore, a connect stone is proposed to increase its stability against the intense flow. In this study, stability of two types connected stones, one is non-porous and the other is porous type, was investigated under rapidly varied flow conditions such as supercritical flow and hydraulic jump. Stability analysis using uplift and drag force acting on the connected stone shows that the non-porous type connected stone may collapse turn up and lift up mode. Furthermore, it is clarified that the porous type connected stone is more stable than the non-porous type.

Previous evaluation of pollutant loads for the basin of Tokyo Bay are not accurately treated with the influence of flood-flow conditions. In the present study, we attempt to clarify the nutrients and COD loads in the main influent rivers under hydrologic events. For this purpose, we mounted automatic water samplers at the Edo, Ara, Tama and Naka Rivers. The observed results indicate that specific relations between river discharge Q and water quality are found in each river. The pollutant loads in the Ara and Naka Rivers are dominant in flood and low flow conditions, respectively. The large amount of the nutrients and COD loads were transported under flood flow conditions in all rivers.

In this study, water quality characteristics of citrus grove soil leachate were investigated. Citrus grove soil contains nitrogen and phosphorus in high concentrations due to the high amount of fertilization, and its soil pH is also very low. Therefore it is considered that not only nutrients but also some problematic materials such as Al and Pb for aquatic livings and ecosystem at the watershed can be contained in the leachate. It is also concerned that the materials can be discharged into the downstream site as a result. It is observed that pH of leachate is in the range of neutral, and the concentration of Al is not at the level where the aquatic livings and ecosystem can be affected. However, some heavy metals can be discharged and nutrients can cause eutrophication. It is suggested that citrus grove can be a big nonpoint source of nutrients.
