Future Vision for Sustainable Water Management(-2024)
In this research project, we aim to articulate a future vision for water in a broader, social context, focusing on such issues as water and regional revitalization, water and sustainable development, and the passing on of Japan’s abundant water resources to future generations. Further, we will clarify and prioritize the risks associated with water in Japan that are currently overlooked and will publicize policy briefs to the national government, local governments, politicians, and companies addressing the long-term efforts needed to manage the risks.
Through expert hearings and hybrid symposiums, we will articulate a vision for Japan’s sustainable management of water in 2050 and 2100 and at the same time conduct literature surveys, aggregate statistical information, conduct on-site reconnaissance, and investigate issues of concern toward its realization, using numerical simulations, if necessary.
