However the salmon and trout breeding industry is able to boast of its reliable performance. This must be extended, but first of all it is urgently necessary to comprehend the breeding organizational structure and the year to year variations in its actual results. In June 1975 this Society therefore published "An analysis of the present state of utilization and reproduction of Japanese trout and salmon stocks (Data volume)", The present' companion volume is pffered as a source of reference to all users. It was planned and printed in cooperation with all the organizations concerned to present fundamental data about the increase of trout and salmon resources and to include maps and tables of all the rivers in which trout and salmon breed. The Japanese Society for the Preservation of Trout and Salmon Stocks (Incorporated) Masao OKAI Chairman. ii Editorial note The actual results of the industry in the five years from 1970 to 1974 were gathered together and the necessary captions were added to maps on the 1:200 000 scale in each prefecture. This has resulted in some unevenness in the presentation of the summaries from Hokkaido - and from Honshu, and we realize that they are not all identically arranged . We wish to express our gratitude to the following persons, who were in charge of the production and editing of the fundamental data as shown. For Hokkaido Koji KOBAYASHI Shinji SACHIUCHI For Honshu The Departments concerned with the fisheries in each of the nine North-Eastern prefectures Sakae ISEKI (The Japan Sea salmon and trout breeding centre) Nobuichi KUBOTA (The Pacific Ocean salmon and trout breeding centre) Offshore catches Hoshihiro AOKI (The Japanese Society for the preservation of trout and salmon stocks) Japan-USSR Hitoshi ITO cooperation '(The Toyo fisheries research laboratory) Overall editing Hitoshi ITO, ïoshihiro AOKI. 410 Translator's note. Because of technical difficulties with the transcription of Japanese geographical names it is not possible to be certain of the names of some of the smaller rivers without access to much more detailed gazetteers or maps. Cqnsequently, those which remain uncertain, and in all cases are rivers which appear to be of little importance, are shown in the tables in brackets. No attempt has been made (apart from frequent but evident misprints) to correct the variations which occur between tables in the assignment of numbers to names and sometimes in the details of the names. iv Index 1.

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].

These landscapes have undergone degradation during the past few decades. While satoyama is a consistently referred term in landscape management in Japan, little attention is given to how such landscapes undergo change in large spatial units such as river basins. This study, based on documents and interviews, reviews how watershed level changes affect the functioning of such socioecological systems in the Kuma River Basin in Kyushu. Watershed properties of the Kuma River Basin changed during pre-modern and modern times and each phase left a lasting legacy on the landscape. The article analyzes how ecological connectivity became fragmented by identifying changes in ecosystem services, and concludes that while socio-ecological landscapes have a long history of human use; the human component cannot outgrow the fundamental biophysical processes that maintain ecosystem services and system resilience; these systems can undergo swift and irreversible degradation when ecological connectivity is fragmented.

    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.

    Proceedings of the 22nd IAHR-APD Congress 2020, Sapporo, Japan QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF WATER AND SUBSTANCES CYCLE IN THE UPPER RIVER BASIN OF KUSHIRO MIRE BY USING SWAT MODEL HIROKI OHASHI OYO corporation, Saitama-City, Japan, [email protected] MAKOTO NAKATSUGAWA Muroran Institute of Tecnology, Muroran-City, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to evaluate water and substances (sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus) runoff mechanism quantitatively in Kuchoro River watershed located in the upper river basin of Kushiro mire. We applied SWAT model, which is sufficiently calibrated to this objective area, to understand runoff mechanism of water and substance cycle in 1940 to 2017. Main results of this study are 1) Substances flowed out from not only Pasture area but also highland area because of rapid surface water flow occurrence and 2) development and river straighten in upper watershed would be influenced to the environment of Kushiro Mire. These results will contribute to evaluate water and substances cycle in whole Kushiro mire and to propose efficient countermeasures for preserving the natural environment in Kushiro River. Keywords: Water and substances cycle, SWAT, Nature Restoration, Kushiro mire, Quantification 1. INTRODUCTION For Kushiro Mire, registered in the Ramsar Convention in 1980, the Kushiro Wetland Nature Restoration Committee has been organized to restore and conserve the condition of the mire at the time of Ramsar registration because of its rapid qualitative and quantitative changes in recent years (Kushiro Wetland Nature Restoration Committee, 2005). The most basic and important action for this issue is to understand the mechanism of water and substances cycle in Kushiro Mire.
