  • 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.

  • A Field Study on Revival Conditions of Covered Rivers in Tokyo's 23 Wards
    A Field Study on Revival Conditions of Covered Rivers in Tokyo's 23 Wards Ayano Kajikawa*1, Yukihiro Masuda2, Madoka Sato3, Nobuyuki Takahashi4 and Toshio Ojima5 1 Master's Candidate, Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Japan 2 Research Associate, Advanced Research Center for Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Japan 3 Keio Electric Railway Co., Ltd., Japan 4 Professor , Advanced Research Institute for Science and Engineering ,Waseda University, Japan 5 Professor, Department of Architecture, Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Japan Abstract With the rapid urbanization of Tokyo, many rivers were covered with concrete, mainly to provide open spaces or roads and for the development of public sewerage lines, etc. Recently, there has been renewed interest in the importance of rivers in cities for the improvement of urban environment problems, e.g., heat islands, as well as to provide recreational spaces close to rivers for city dwellers. It is important to arrange green spaces along with access to rivers to improve the urban environment. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of reviving the covered rivers in Tokyo's 23 wards. An evaluation index was made based on field research of the present condition of covered rivers: i.e., conditions of open spaces above covered rivers, water supply, and reservoir setting to rewater the rivers. Of the covered rivers examined, 0.7% qualifi ed for revival with respect to all of these physical conditions. Research into the volume of sump water is expected to provide new methods for reviving covered rivers and the percentage of revival may increase. Keywords: revival of rivers; covered rivers; recreational spaces close to rivers; urban environment of cities; heat island 1.

    Session 2: Eco-System Rehabilitation/Restoration/Development Biodiversity and New Urbanism in Tokyo: The Role of the Kanda River Matthew Puntigam1, Jared Braiterman PhD2, Suzuki Makoto PhD3 1 Research Fellow, Department of Landscape Architecture Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture (Nodai), Sakuragaoka 1-1-1, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] 2 Research Fellow, Department of Landscape Architecture Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture (Nodai), Sakuragaoka 1-1-1, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] 3 Chair and Professor, Department of Landscape Architecture Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture (Nodai), Sakuragaoka 1-1-1, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] Abstract The Kanda River has had many roles in Tokyo and continues to redefine itself as Tokyo meets the challenges facing many large urban centers around the world. What can we learn from the Kanda River’s past and how can it be used to transform the built environment to welcome biodiversity now? Taking instructive eXamples from Edo Japan provides a new look at how the Kanda can be used to help shape the New Urbanism that cities are embracing as they look to reinvent themselves as sustainable leaders for a post-industrial future. The Kanda River is in a unique position that has attracted environmentally minded policy interest but which has fallen short of its full potential to raise awareness and community building. Keywords biodiversity, new urbanism, Kanda, Tokyo, Japan, metrics, environment, grassroots, river, wildlife, satoyama, revitalization, policy Introduction Restoring healthy rivers is central to contemporary efforts to bring biodiversity to cities. Urban rivers connect the future of global cities with their history and culture.
