CREST Symposium associated with 10th SEAWE in Hanoi
Development of Well-Balanced Urban Water Use System Adapted to Climate Change
-Toward Sustainable Water Use-


Organizer Prof. Hiroaki Furumai (The Univ. of Tokyo)

Supported by Japan Science and Technology Agency “Core Research for Evolutional Science and
Technology (CREST) – Innovative Technology and System for Sustainable Water Use-”

The CREST Project on “Development of well-balanced urban water use system adapted to climate change (Project Leader: Prof. H. Furumai)” aims to reexamine the current urban water use system and propose a new one adaptive to the future climate change. In the new system, each water resource is properly allocated to each water use by considering the balance between water supply and demand. This requires information on available amounts and detailed quality of various water resources. Two river watersheds; Ara River in Japan and Hon River in Vietnam, are selected as research fields. They are located both in Asian monsoon area but are on different phases in economic and demographic growths. We are pursuing urban water use strategies suitable for each watershed from various angles. In this special symposium associated with 10th International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment, we would like to introduce our research activity in Vietnam and discuss with water professionals including government officials, policy makers, researchers, engineers from private sector in Vietnam as well as other Southeast Asian countries.
This symposium is divided into two sessions. In the morning session, the general overview of the CREST project including outstanding outcomes will be introduced with simultaneous translation. In the afternoon session, the more research-oriented presentations on specific topics will be given only in English. We hope to share our perspectives and consider the sustainable water use in Hanoi through multilateral discussion.
