Year: 2008
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: ABSTRACT: This paper describes what will be happened by torrential rainfall and temperature rising due to global warming. It also introduces some examples of researches and developments concerning the mentioned-above which are being conducted in Ibaraki University. Especially, this paper describes vulnerability of river levees and banks against torrential rainfall and degradation of water quality of closed water environment s uch as lake/marsh which will be caused by temperature rising due to global warming. Furthermore, this paper mentions significance of aftercare in damage site by introducing an exemplum of utilization of disaster waste in the 2004 year Niigata Chuetsu earth quake. Consequently, it describes the author’s philosophy for adaptation and countermeasures against global warming.
