Significance of Rainwater and Reclaimed Water As Urban Water Resource for Sustainable Use

Significance of rainwater and reclaimed water as urban water resource for sustainable use Hiroaki FURUMAI Professor, Research Center for Water Environment Technology University of Tokyo Japan-China-Korea Green Technology Forum @ Tokyo, March 14, 2012 1 Outline Introduction - Climate change and fluctuation of annual rainfall in Japan - Water resource and water supply system in Tokyo - Concern about the sustainability of urban water use - Facility installation for rainwater and reclaimed water use Urban water resources for sustainable use - Rainwater harvesting and use Representative cases and new movement of rainwater use - Reclaimed water use and treatment technology Current state of reclaimed water use and new projects Japan-China-Korea Green Technology Forum @ Tokyo, March 14, 2012 2 Fluctuation of annual rainfall and occurrence of drought in Japan (mm) 2,100 Average annual rainfall decreases by about 7% in 100 years 2,000 1,900 1,800 1,700 1,600 1,500 B Annual rainfall 1,400 C H Annual rainfall J 年降水量 D 1,300 Moving average A G K for５年移動平均 5 years 1,200 E Tendencyトレンド F I 1,100 1900 1905 1910 1915 1920 1925 1930 1935 1940 1945 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 Fluctuation becomes larger A: Lake Biwa drought(1939), B: Tokyo Olympic drought(1964), C: Nagasaki drought(1967), D: Takamatsu drought(1973), E: Fukuoka drought(1978), F: Nationwide winter drought(1984), G: West Japan winter drought(1986), H: Metropolitan area drought(1987), I: Japan Islands drought(1994), J: Matsuyama drought(2002), K: Chubu and Shikoku area drought(2005) 3 Surface water dependent Water resource and Dam storage type Water supply system in Tokyo One-through water use Drinking water treatment plant Wastewater Treatment Plant 80% 20% <1% Japan-China-Korea Green Technology Forum @ Tokyo, March 14, 2012 4 Concern about the sustainability of urban water use Increased water demand had led to the dam construction at the upstream and the extensive water withdrawal from rivers in Japan. Stable water supply and efficient water use have become concerning in growing mega cities in Asia. Efficient water use have been implemented to reduce water intake from natural water system and to secure the sound water cycle. Achievement of the sustainability is required ensuring a long-term water supply with adequate quality and minimizing adverse economic, social and ecological impacts.
