  • Restoration of Sumida River
    Restoration of Sumida River Postwar Sumida River waterfront was occupied by factories and warehouses, was deteriorated like a ditch, and was shunned by people. At the same time, industrial and logistical structure changes sap the area’s vitality as a production base. But increasing interest in environment headed for the semi-ruined city waterfront and a possibility of its restoration emerged and city-and-river development started, thus attractive urban area was gradually created. In Asian nations with worsening river environments, Sumida River, improving after experiencing 50-year deterioration is a leading example in Asia. Key to Restoration ¾ Water quality improvement ¾ Waterfront space restoration and waterfront development (river-walk) Overview of the River Sumida River branches from Ara River at Iwabuchi, Kita Ward. It unites with many streams such as Shingashi River, Shakujii River, and Kanda River, and flows in Tokyo Bay. It flows south to north in the seven wards in lower-level eastern areas in Tokyo (Kita Ward, Adachi Ward, Arakawa Ward, Sumida Ward, Taitou Ward, Chuo Ward, and Koutou Ward). Its total length is 23.5 km, its width is about 150 m, and the basin dimension is 690.3 km2 including upstream Shingashi River. The basin population almost reaches 6.2 million. Sumida River’s water quality, though quite polluted in the high-growth period, has substantially improved by the efforts such as water Sumida River purification projects for Sumida River restoration (e.g., construction of a filtering plant in Ukima). The variety and the number of fish, water birds, and water plants have also started to increase.

  • A Study on the Water Environment in Shingashi River Basin AHW36-P02
    AHW36-P02 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017 A study on the water environment in Shingashi river basin *Asami Kazuki1, Koji Kodera1 1. Hosei University Lab. for Hydrogey 1.First Some rivers flowing through urban areas in Japan still have problems with water quality, and it is important to grasp the water environment of the river in the current urban area in order to promote the conservation of the water environment. Hosei University has continued to conduct research on the Shingashi river basin that flows through suburbs of Tokyo since the 1930s, and in recent years it has been conducting water quality surveys in cooperation with civil society groups. Here we will clarify the water environment of the current Shingashi river basin, based on the results of the water quality survey conducted four times from 2013 to 2016. 2.Region overview The Shingashi river basin is located in 10 cities and 1 town in Saitama Prefecture, 6 cities and 1 town in 3 wards in Tokyo. The Shingashi river of mainstream is a first class river belonging to the Arakawa water system. The flow path extension is 34.6km, and the tide zone is about 16km from the confluence point with the Sumida river. In addition, the catchment area is 411km2. 3.Survey method In the Survey on familiar water environments conducted in June every year, citizen groups provided water collected, and in the laboratory we measured pH, RpH, EC and analyzed TOC, Analysis of major dissolved components is carried out. 4.Results As a result of the survey, various water quality is distributed in the Shingashi river basin, but in the upstream area of each river, the Calcium bicarbonate type water quality composition is shown, the downstream side tends to show the composition of sodium chloride type at the downstream side, this suggested the effect of domestic wastewater.

  • PCDD/Fs and Dioxin-Like Pcbs in the Tone River, Japan
    LEVELS IN SOIL AND WATER PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in the Tone River, Japan Eiki Watanabe1, Watanabe Eiki1, Eun Heesoo1, Baba Koji1, Sekino Tadashi2, Arao Tomohito1, Endo Shozo1 1National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, Tsukuba 2Environmental Research Center, Tsukuba Introduction Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have generated wide interest in both scientific and public setting as a result of the pronounced toxicity and persistence of members within these compound classes. PCDD/Fs, especially the isomers with chlorines substituted in 2, 3, 7, and 8 positions are thought to pose a risk to human health due to their high toxicity, carcinogenic potency and potential influences on animal reproductive and immunological systems 1. Environmental pollution by PCDD/Fs has arisen exclusively from human activities, and for example, they are inadvertently produced from various combustion sources and manufacturing processes, such as municipal solid waste incineration 2, steel production processes 3, and chemical production processes 4. In Japan, it is well known that the environmental pollution has close relation to agricultural operation, that is, some PCDD/Fs are contained as impurities in a kind of pesticide 5. Chloronitrophen (CNP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP), which could be contained them as impurities, are typical organochlorine pesticides, and were widely used in Japanese paddy field as herbicides in the past. So, since the use of them could cause the environmental pollution, it is extremely important to understand estimation of their sources, their levels and their behavior in environments. On the other hand, PCBs are also persistent compounds with high thermal stability, chemical stabilities and excellent dielectric properties.

  • Chapter 8. Creating and Preserving a Beautiful and Healthy Environment
    Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures Creating and Preserving a Beautiful II Chapter 8 Chapter 8 and Healthy Environment Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures a Beautiful and Healthy Environment and Preserving Creating 1 Implementing Global Warming Countermeasures At the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted as a new international framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions be- ginning in 2020, with participation by all countries. The agreement went into effect in November 2016, and Japan is a signatory nation. Based on the Paris Agreement, Japan adopted the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures by a Cabinet decision in May 2016, and has committed to efforts toward the achievement of the mid-term objective to achieve a 26.0% decrease in the FY2013 level of greenhouse gases by FY2030, and as a long-term objective aims to reduce emissions 80% by 2050. The MLIT has committed to a wide array of policy development initiatives for achieving the mid-term objective based on this plan, including making housing and buildings more energy efficient, measures for individual vehicles, and the promotion of low-carbon urban development. In addition, we partially amended our Environmental Action Plan in March 2017, and set out long-term roles for the MLIT in mitigation policies and other environmental policies. In March 2018, the Bill to Partially Amend the Act Concerning the Rational Use of Energy, which includes provisions for certifying energy-saving efforts through the collaboration of multiple transportation operators and allowing corpo- rations to allocate energy-saving credits amongst one another and report regularly, was submitted to the National Diet.
