Research and applications of water control and management in agricultural and rural areas
In recent years, the impact on abnormal weather on the balance of water supply and demand, droughts, disasters caused by torrential rains are occurring all over the world. Many issues related to effective and efficient water utilization and prevention of water disasters in agricultural and rural areas must be addressed in order to realize safe and secure rural areas towards improvement of agricultural productivity.
In this international symposium, prominent researchers from overseas and Japan will talk about the global trends, recent advancements and efforts for practical applications in water management research in rural engineering.
