Munich Personal RePEc Archive March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident impacts on Japanese agri-food sector Bachev, Hrabrin January 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/61499/ MPRA Paper No. 61499, posted 21 Jan 2015 14:37 UTC March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident impacts on Japanese agri-food sector Hrabrin Bachev1 I. Introduction On March 11, 2011 the strongest recorded in Japan earthquake off the Pacific coast of North-east of the country occurred (also know as Great East Japan Earthquake, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and the 3.11 Earthquake) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant (Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant Station). It was the first disaster that included an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. The 2011 disasters have had immense impacts on people life, health and property, social infrastructure and economy, natural and institutional environment, etc. in North-eastern Japan and beyond [Abe, 2014; Al-Badri and Berends, 2013; Biodiversity Center of Japan, 2013; Britannica, 2014; Buesseler, 2014; FNAIC, 2013; Fujita et al., 2012; IAEA, 2011; IBRD, 2012; Kontar et al., 2014; NIRA, 2013; TEPCO, 2012; UNEP, 2012; Vervaeck and Daniell, 2012; Umeda, 2013; WHO, 2013; WWF, 2013]. We have done an assessment of major social, economic and environmental impacts of the triple disaster in another publication [Bachev, 2014]. There have been numerous publications on diverse impacts of the 2011 disasters including on the Japanese agriculture and food sector [Bachev and Ito, 2013; JA-ZENCHU, 2011; Johnson, 2011; Hamada and Ogino, 2012; MAFF, 2012; Koyama, 2013; Sekizawa, 2013; Pushpalal et al., 2013; Liou et al., 2012; Murayama, 2012; MHLW, 2013; Nakanishi and Tanoi, 2013; Oka, 2012; Ujiie, 2012; Yasunaria et al., 2011; Watanabe A., 2011; Watanabe N., 2013].

Challenges of Restoring and Rehabilitating Sewer Systems Damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
Journal of JSCE, Vol. 5, 279-297, 2017 Special Topic - Restoration and Recovery from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake（ Invited Paper） CHALLENGES OF RESTORING AND REHABILITATING SEWER SYSTEMS DAMAGED BY THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI Hiroyasu SATOH1 1Member of JSCE, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo (5-1-5 Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-8563, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] This is a review of the restoration and rehabilitation of sewer systems damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The disaster caused serious damage to sewer systems, amounting to approxi- mately 470 billion JPY. The damage was mainly caused by the tsunami, but the damage due to liquefac- tion was also serious. The tectonic activity caused additional discharge loads to municipalities in coastal areas. The nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant also affected sewer systems in such forms as radio-contamination of sewage sludge and reduction of power supplies. In addition, migra- tion of users of sewer systems took place. In the restoration activities, sewage treatment plants (STPs) were restored step-by-step, and guidelines were developed to strengthen STPs against tsunamis. The ef- fectiveness of different countermeasures against earthquakes and liquefaction were examined, and new countermeasures were proposed. Software measures such as the introduction of business continuity plans and information technologies are recognized as effective measures for overcoming disasters. In particular, the sewer systems in Sendai City have been successfully restored and rehabilitated after the disaster, with different hardware and software measures. In contrast, sewer systems in small municipalities seriously damaged by the tsunami are still taking time to rehabilitate.

Okaa,n, P. Tsaia, S. Kimotoa, R. Katob aDepartment of Civil & Earth Resources Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan bNikken Sekkei Civil Engineering Ltd., Osaka, Japan Received 3 February 2012; received in revised form 25 July 2012; accepted 1 September 2012 Available online 11 December 2012 Abstract Due to the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0, many soil-made infrastructures, such as river dikes, road embankments, railway foundations and coastal dikes, were damaged. The river dikes and their related structures were damaged at 2115 sites throughout the Tohoku and Kanto areas, including Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Saitama Prefectures, as well as the Tokyo Metropolitan District. In the first part of the present paper, the main patterns of the damaged river embankments are presented and reviewed based on the in situ research by the authors, MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) and JICE (Japan Institute of Construction Engineering). The main causes of the damage were (1) liquefaction of the foundation ground, (2) liquefaction of the soil in the river embankments due to the water-saturated region above the ground level, and (3) the long duration of the earthquake, the enormity of fault zone and the magnitude of the quake.

Iha Applications
IHA APPLICATIONS This database is a summary of many of the applications of the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) software. Entries are listed according to author, with the name of the body/s of water highlighted in bold type. Individual users of IHA submitted some of the entries, and those persons have authorized themselves as contacts to obtain addition information. Other information was culled from public documents, published reports, journal articles and business correspondence. The reasons for IHA usage fall into four categories: 1. Hydrologic Research: Use of the IHA software in assessing changes in hydrologic conditions (e.g. river flows, lake levels) over time, including changes caused by water management activities (dams, diversions, ground water pumping), climate shifts, changes in land use, etc. 2. Ecological Research: Use of the IHA software in assessing connections between hydrologic conditions (or changes in these conditions) and ecological responses, including studies of the influence of specific hydrologic conditions on species, plant community types, or ecological processes such as sediment transport, and salinity distributions. 3. Environmental Flow Recommendations: Use of the IHA software to develop recommendations for environmental flow protection (also commonly referred to as instream flows or ecosystem flows). Papers in this category may include application of the "Range of Variability Approach" (RVA) component of the IHA software. 4. Other: All other uses of the IHA software that do not fit into the above categories. IHA DATABASE Alber, M. & Flory, J. 2002.

Kurikoma Ichinoseki Pacific Ocean Foreword On March 11, 2011, a great many precious lives and property were stolen from us by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the massive tsunami and aftershocks that followed. In Iwate Prefecture, 4,672 people along the southern coast were killed, and there are still 1,130 people missing. The most extensive damage occurred mainly in the coastal areas. On April 11, 2011, one month after this great disaster, turning toward reconstruction, we formulated the “Basic Policy for Reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.” This policy puts in place two principles: first, to ensure the survivors’ livelihood, education, and work, as well as to protect the pursuit of happiness for each individual; and second, to keep the love the victims had for their hometown. Based on this policy, we established the “Iwate Prefecture Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Reconstruction Plan” in August 2011. The entire plan runs from 2011 until 2018, for a total of 8 years.

1 the 2010 Chilean and the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami Waves
THE 2010 CHILEAN AND THE 2011 TOHOKU TSUNAMI WAVES IMPACT TO RIVERS IN THE TOHOKU REGION, JAPAN Hitoshi Tanaka1 and Nguyen Xuan Tinh2 As a result when tsunami invades into river, it may not only a threat of damages to the banks but also cause the environmental problem such as inundation. Therefore, study of tsunami impacts to rivers becomes more important. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the tsunami wave propagation at different river morphologies based on real time measurements during the 2010 Chilean Tsunami and 2011 Tohoku Tsunami events. The aim is to learn empirically from the last extreme events tsunamis in order to suggest a better solution in terms of river and coastal management in the future. The analyzed results have been shown that the tsunami wave can be affected up to several tens kilometer upstream of a large river and the measured tsunami travel time inside the river is almost similar to the tsunami travel time calculated by using the long wave theory. Keywords: 2010 Chilean Tsunami; 2011 Tohoku Tsunami; river mouth; river upstream; tsunami wave impact INTRODUCTION There were two serious Chile and Great Tohoku Earthquakes, rating magnitude of 8.8 and 9.0, took place on February 27, 2010 and March 11, 2011 respectively caused great tsunami waves and devastating coastal areas of Chile and Japan. This study will mainly focus on the effects of these two tsunami events to the total 25 rivers in Tohoku Region of Japan. In order to achieve the objectives, an attempt is made to collect as many required data sets as possible for all studied rivers.
