A History of Water Issues The United Nations University is an organ of the United Nations estab- lished by the General Assembly in 1972 to be an international community of scholars engaged in research, advanced training, and the dissemination of knowledge related to the pressing global problems of human survi- val, development, and welfare. Its activities focus mainly on the areas of peace and governance, environment and sustainable development, and science and technology in relation to human welfare. The University op- erates through a worldwide network of research and postgraduate train- ing centres, with its planning and coordinating headquarters in Tokyo.

    Report of Riverfront Research Institute No.18 ABSTRUCT September, 2007 Foundation for Riverfront Improvement and Restoration Experimental research on restoration of the gravel bed of the Makomanai River, Sapporo Hokkaido (interim report) Hiroki TAKAHASHI/Noboru MARUOKA/Kiyoshi TAKEUCHI/Keizou WATANABE The Makomanai River has many rock-bedded sections where the bedrock has been exposed as a result riverbed degradation. This is thought to have been caused by a combined effect of the narrow valley flat, soft rock, decreases in sediment supply due to the check dams constructed in the 1980s, and the fixed water route of the river due to the river improvement carried out in the 1960s. The rock-bedded river channel, lacks river structures created by gravel (sediment) transport and scour–deposition processes and does not have shallows or pools suitable as habitat for benthos and fishes. Flood control problems caused by the scouring of revetment foundations are another matter of concern. This study is underway, therefore, on technical measures to restore the gravel bed of the Makomanai River based on adaptive management approach. In this study, a series of model experiments was conducted on various structures and configurations of facilities for accelerating gravel deposition, and, according to the experiment results, possible structures and configurations of experimental facilities were narrowed down and on-site experiments were conducted. Then, after monitoring-based verification, measures to be taken to restore the gravel bed of the Makomanai

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

Hassan, Takanori Ishikawa, Singo SEKI and A. Mahmuda Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kochi University, B-200 Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan Abstract: Analyses of partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences support the classification of Aburahaya (Rhynchocypris lagowskii) from the Sea of Japan and Pacific Ocean. To investigate genetic population structure, we examine nucleotide sequence of the cytochrome b region. In this study we found three major geographical groups. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that the population of the group 3 differentiation is 0.8759 ± 0.0333. The group 2 differentiation is 0.5333 ± 0.1801 which is collected from the Kamishyou River (Toyama Prefecture) and Hakui River (Ishikawa Prefecture) populations. The neighbor-joining tree of the mitochondrial DNA haplotypes for all specimens constructed from the Kimura’s two parameter. Among these 24 localities being clustered into 3 major geographic groups in NJ tree mtDNA segment and NJ tree mtDNA haplotype. No significant difference for the population pair wise FST was detected among these localities (P>0.05). The most parsimonious network of mtDNA haplotype of aburahaya 24 localities, estimated using the TCS algorithm. In this network showed three geographical groups.

The center of land reclamation in Hokkaido was the Ishikari River Basin, the second largest river in Japan, where the city of Sapporo is now located. In particular, the middle and lower reaches of the Ishikari River basin downstream from Kamuikotan was a primeval swamp and peatland at that time, which hindered its reclamation. However, the development and appropriate management of river flood control and water utilization facilities in the middle and lower reaches resulted in changes. The peatland in this cold region were transformed into one of Japan’s leading rice cultivation areas. The transformation of this region into a major economic zone was realized in a relatively short period of one hundred-odd years.
