Water is indispensable for our lives but is limited in quantity. Japan imports sixty percent of its food resources, as well as a large quantity of water. Water-electricity generation is the only energy resource that Japan does not need to import. Dams help flood control but they sometimes lead to environmental deterioration. Environmental conservation contradicts flood control.
Developing water resources in harmony with environmental conservation and disaster prevention is the main subject of our research. |

| It is recommended that your way of thinking should be flexible and not be trapped into past methodologies or beliefs, in order to become a pioneer in an important future field. You should undertake your studies in a voluntary and ambitious manner, in the subject area that you pursue. This may lead you to a life worth living and to become a person who will benefit society. |
