Governor, Ibaraki Prefecture
Chair, Executive Committee of the 17th World Lake Conference

Kazuhiko Oigawa

It is truly a delight and a great honor to host the 17th World Lake Conference (Lake Kasumigaura,
Ibaraki, Japan, 2018) in Ibaraki Prefecture.
I would like to extend a hearty welcome to all participants.
Ibaraki Prefecture is blessed with a rich natural environment, including Lake Kasumigaura, which isJapan’s second largest lake, and Lake Hinuma, which is a designated Ramsar site.
The prefecture is also home to various thriving industries. Tsukuba, for instance, is a focal point for someof the world’s most advanced science and technology. There are also industrial clusters in the Hitachi andKashima districts. Additionally, there are Ibaraki’s agriculture, forestry, and fishing industries, nurtured byvast, fertile farmlands and a rich natural environment.
Ibaraki Prefecture has many lakes and wetlands, including Lake Kasumigaura. More than just sources ofwater for drinking, industry, and agriculture, lakes also play an important role in our daily lives, as places forrecreation and as places for us to feel at peace.
Water forms the basis of all life, and we have enjoyed the blessings of ecosystem services derived
from lakes. However, many of the world’s lakes are now facing a raft of problems, including the loss of
biodiversity and the negative effects of climate change.
The 17th World Lake Conference is based on the theme “Harmonious Coexistence of Humans and Lakes-Toward Sustainable Ecosystem Services.” It aims to bring together a wide range of people involved inlakes and wetlands, including residents, people engaged in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, businessowners, researchers, and government officials, in order to share information and to exchange ideas about
what measures must be taken for us to continue to sustainably enjoy the benefits of ecosystem services.
It is hoped that this conference will serve as a catalyst for people in a variety of positions to become
more aware of their respective roles and that it will strengthen cooperation among them, leading to thedevelopment of new solutions for lake-related issues.
My great hope for the conference is that it might help sustain the blessings we receive from lakes andthat it might open up a brighter future for lakes and those that use them.

Vice-Chair, Executive Committee of the 17th World Lake Conference
President, International Lake Environment Committee Foundation (ILEC)

Kazuhiko Takemoto

The World Lake Conference (WLC) is recognized as a global forum for a wide range of stakeholders to
exchange views and experiences on the sustainable management of lakes and their basins, exploring thebest solutions to common issues. I am pleased and honored to welcome you to 17th WLC here in Ibaraki,
together with the members of the Organizing Committee. I would like to extend special thanks to them fororganizing 17th WLC in such a smooth and effective manner.
In recent years, sustainability and resilience have become issues of high priority across the world, andthe international community is now implementing the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” including
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015. We must all
take action to contribute towards achieving the goals, and in particular, to Goal 6 on water and sanitation,
Goal 15 on terrestrial ecosystems, and Goal 17 on partnerships.
Bearing in mind the theme of 17 th WLC, “Co-existence of human beings and the lakes: towardsustainable ecosystem services,” this conference will be an opportunity to deepen discussions on
measures to improve lake basin management and on the roles of various stakeholders. These discussions
will contribute to global efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda, and at the same time to exploring possible
solutions to relevant challenges.
I wish you all a successful conference and strengthened partnerships, with active participation in all of
the sessions and events - as well as a pleasant stay in the wonderful setting of Ibaraki.

Conference Aim
Water forms the basis of all life, and a variety of ecosystems that include humans have benefited greatly
from it. Lakes are an invaluable resource for agriculture and fisheries, for industry, and for our culture, and theconservation of lake environments is of the upmost importance.
The 6th World Lake Conference, held in Ibaraki in 1995, adopted the theme “Harmonizing human life
with lakes - toward the sustainable use of lakes and reservoirs”. Lake use, environmental conservation, thesecurement and management of freshwater resources, and the effects of eutrophication and chemical substanceswere discussed, and opinions exchanged with the aim of striving for harmony between humans and lakes.
Furthermore, as a result of placing a focus on the undertaking of aquatic environment conservation activities
and environmental education, a large number of river basin residents and citizens’ organizations participated in
the conference, triggering an increase in citizen activities. Since the conference, a partnership between citizens,
researchers, businesses, and government bodies has formed the basis of ongoing efforts to solve issues
surrounding aquatic environments.
In recent years, topics related to ecosystems have been discussed at the World Lake Conferences. In 1992,
The Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted based on the fact that biodiversity supports humanexistence and brings a variety of benefits to humanity, and plants and animals have no national borders so it
is important that issues surrounding ecosystems are tackled globally. Countries around the world are mutually
cooperating in research and information exchange.
Meanwhile, the Basic Law for Water Circulation came into force in Japan in July 2014 with the aim ofcomprehensively and integrally promoting policies concerning the water cycle in order to reassert that water
is a resource that all humanity shares, to allow water to circulate healthily, and so that humanity can continue
to enjoy the blessings that it brings. The law is based on fundamental concepts including the importance of
the water cycle and integrated lake basin management, and establishes the respective responsibilities of local
public organizations, businesses, and citizens, and the coordination and cooperation that should occur among
them.
Humans have enjoyed the blessing of ecosystem services such as food and water supplied by ecosystems
built on biodiversity. However, development activities and climate change have caused a drastic loss inbiodiversity. At the 17th World Lake Conference, we will discuss how ecosystems can be maintained throughgreater conservation efforts – namely, the development of a society where humans and lakes can support eachother and coexist in harmony. Furthermore, information sharing and opinion exchange around what measuresneed to be taken in order for humans to continue to sustainably enjoy ecosystem services will be held amongpeople involved with lakes, including residents, those engaged in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, businesses,
researchers, and government agencies.
This conference is hoped to be a trigger for a variety of people to strengthen coordination with each otherbased on their individual responsibilities, bringing about new progress in the solving of lake-related issues.

What are Ecosystem Services?
Ecosystems function as the foundation
for plants to utilize sunlight to produce
carbohydrates (organic matter) throughphotosynthesis.
Ecosystems are host to diverse organisms and are connected by complex foodwebs and food chains. Humankind is also
one of a great number of creatures connected to the ecosystem.
In other words, ecosystems are our
natural surroundings. Our lifestyles, culture, and daily life are supported by thebounties we gain from the ecosystem,
such as our food and water supply, stableclimate, and other sustenance from theearth. These blessings of nature arecalled “ecosystem services” and can bedivided into four types, as shown in theﬁgure below.

2Foundation Services

Source of life and foundation ofexistence, such as water, soil, oxygen, andnutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.
The synthesis of organic matter fromcarbon dioxide and water via
photosynthesis and their circulation
allows the ecosystem to function.

Coordination
Services

Cuitural Services
The unique cultures ofevery region, such as
faith and customs, areclosely tied to theecosystem. The naturalenvironment also has astrong inﬂuence on art,such as paintings.
・Tourism resources, suchas(sail-propelled ﬁshingboats)
・Water sports, ﬁshing
・Historical assets, foodculture・Habitats of wild birds,
etc.

Supply Services

Functions to supply food and water
essential to our daily lives.
・Water resources, such as watersupply, agriculture, and industrial
water, etc.
・Fishery resources, such as

DOC（Dissolved Organic Carbon）from raw water. It showsthe effect to reduce DBPs（Disinfection By-Products, e.g.
precursor of Trihalo-methane, and Halo-acetic acid）. So it
can use to install in a drinking water treatment plant taking
DOC rich raw water from closed waters.
It is our mission to create a way for the used water togo back clean inside the water cycle to protect lakes andrivers and to pass on a beautiful environment to the next
generation. For this, we, at KANSEI, propose “Pipe drainage
maintenance system” using the latest equipment.
α-Gaia: Generates active oxygen which is used todecompose organic material such as raw garbage, excess
sludge, aquatic plants, food residue, etc.
CLIRAC Coagulation Treatment: Rapidly coagulates anddetoxifies harmful sludge containing substances like heavy
metals, chemicals, oil etc. and also treats oil-based sludge.
・Development of a management method for the invasive
water primrose(Ludwigia grandiflora) in Lake Biwa
・Our effort to SDGs
・Our effort to BIWAKO-modelThis technology is a technique of physically treating
wastewater from a kitchen, residue is collected by a scumsave net installed in a grease trap, oil separated andseparated oil is adsorbed and collected on an oil adsorbent
and recovered by a grease trap Improve performance.
We display Multifunctional small dredger ship (UD-1),
Apparatus for dissolved Oxygen(AQUA RECOVERY), Multidrain vacuum dehydration method（AQUA SOIL FILTER),
Ground installed Sea wall, type of flap gate(neo RiSe).

Outline① Ishida Lakeshore [Tenomachi, Tsuchiura City]

The Ishida lakeshore is a location scheduled to showcase the future vision
for Lake Kasumigaura. Using a direct purification facility to purify the lakewater and discharge it into a closed zone within the lake will provide visibility
to the purification effects and encourage residents to feel an affinity for Lake
Kasumigaura.

② Nature Restoration Project Area

(Section B) [Tamuramachi, Tsuchiura City]
With a goal of restoring the habitats of variousorganisms, improvements have been made to
the lakeshore environment of embayments andother areas with shallow water, flat water anddeep water. This area has been used as a placefor environmental studies, such as hands-on
boating courses.

③ Nature Restoration Project Area

(Section H) [Okijukumachi, Tsuchiura City]
With a goal of preserving existing vegetation
and restoring waterside spaces which havecontinuity with lakes, improvements have been
made to jetties, submerged breakwaters, littoral
nourishment and so on. This area has beenused as a place for environmental studies, suchas aquatic life survey.

The Nature Restoration
Committee was establishedin 2004 pursuant to the Law
for the Promotion of Nature
Restoration. It promotes
projects with an aim ofpreserving and restoring thediverse natural environmentthat once existed along thelakeside, and utilizing themas a place for environmental
learning in cooperation witht h e I b a r a k i Ka s u m i ga u r aEnvironmental Science Center.
* Law for the Promotion of
Nature Restoration: Enacted in
December 2002 (MLIT, MOE,
MAFF)
* The Committee is comprisedof a total of 39 members (March2018), including specialists,
members recruited andcommissioned from the public,
and government officials④ Kawajirigawa Wetland [Tozaki, Kasumigaura City]At the mouth of this inflowing river, a small lake (inner lake) separated by anembankment has been established, with an aim of reducing the burden causedby the retention and sedimentation of inflowing contaminants and creating a
biological habitat and purification function provided by lakeshore vegetation
zones.
▶ Presentation▶ Lunch⑤ ‌Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center[Okijukumachi, Tsuchiura City]

17th World Lake Conference, Lake Kasumigaura, Ibaraki, Japan, 2018

Policy ForumOVERVIEW OF DISCUSSION
Saburo Matsui
Chairperson, 17th World Lake Conference Project Promotion Committee
In order to conserve lake environment, it is necessary for everybody involved in lakes, such as residents, agriculture, forestry andfishermen, business operators, researchers, government administrators, play a role in their respective positions. In particular, the policy
directors are responsible for the planning and promotion of lake conservation measures.
In the policy forum, we hope to summarize the direction of future lake conservation measures through the presentations anddiscussion made by domestic and foreign policy makers.
First of all, on behalf of the venue, Ibaraki prefecture Governor will report about the current state of Kasumigaura and new initiatives.
In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of the Environment, and tbe Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries Policy Officers plan to give opinions and discuss water quality remediation and ecosystem conservation efforts
from the positions of each ministry.
Also, we expect to receive a wide range of global viewpoints opinions from the United Nations Environment Programme. We also
expect reports on efforts and future issues from the Balaton Lake Development Council of Hungary, the venue for the 3rd World Lake
Conference, where Lake Balaton, is a lake shallow similar to Lake Kasumigaura.

The status and trends of lakes and wetlands are examined using indicators that illustrate the despite considerable conservation
effort over the past 4-5 decades they are in continuing decline. Similar trends are evident for ecosystems and species populations witha few exceptions. These declines have occurred despite the high value of the ecosystem services that lakes and wetlands provide forpeople. Total economic valuation of lakes and wetlands shows that they are worth more than many other biomes yet pressures fromincreasing human populations and economic development are still resulting in ongoing declines. This situation is not new - it has been
described on many occasions and in many parts of the world. It is exacerbated as recent data for the area of lakes and wetlands has
led to an increase in the total economic value of these ecosystems in comparison to others. More recent efforts to promote the UN
Sustainable Development Goals as a way forward for humankind offer renewed hope for lakes and wetlands. This is particularly thecase as lakes and wetlands are central to achieving many of the targets that have been agreed under these goals. For the Sustainable
Development Goals to be successful there needs to be a concerted effort across sectors and across all ecosystem services. Single
attention to particular goals or targets or ecosystem services is unlikely to halt and reverse the declines in lakes and wetlands that
we have experienced for many decades. Our challenge is to find a way forward that recognises multiple values and the vital role thatlakes and wetlands play in sustaining our landscapes and our future.

Kenya has both fully internal and transboundary lakes that have come under intense pressures from anthropogenic uses andactivities within the lakes themselves and their catchments. Climate changes are compounding the pressures of the quantity, quality,
function and ecosystem health of these lakes. There is, however, no specific policy, legislative and governance regime to address thelakes management in a holistic and sustainable manner. This paper addresses this gap and provides a framework within which an
Integrated Lentic-Lotic Basin Management (ILLBM) approach can be applied (institutions, policies, participation, technology, information,and finance) to ensure the sustainable management of the lakes and their supporting natural and built infrastructure in the context ofbalancing conservation and development.

CHALLENGES OF INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF THE LERMA-CHAPALA BASIN, MEXICO
Alejandro Juárez Aguilar
Director General, Corazón de la Tierra
Lerma-Chapala basin is allocated in Central-Western Mexico, with a surface of 52,320 km2. It’s composed by 19 sub-basins, each
one with a main river and/or lake, altogether linked in a convoluted process which generates a series of ecosystem services, benefiting
16 million people. This basin is a complex territory with a variety of ecosystems, productive activities and cultural manifestations,which generates 12% of GDP, mainly by ranching, crop cultivation, industry and commerce, all of this in an area with increasing water
scarcity. From the perspective of the Environmental Services Framework this generates strong challenges, due to low generation of
information about key aspects, besides the deficient access of decision-makers and general population to such knowledge. In an effort
to improve this, three strategies have been fostered to improve such tendency: 1) improvement of key data, 2) increasing access to
information of the basin for general public and 3) creation-strengthening of partnerships, in order to escalate the process. As part ofthese approaches, a total of 94 projects have been completed, mostly in the Lake Chapala sub-basin but also in another sub-basins, ina collaborative effort with institutions from Mexico and from abroad. A powerful tool to guide this process is the Integrated Lake BasinManagement Platform. This paper reviews outcomes of such strategies, the difficulties of the process and how they were dealt with, inorder to involve stakeholders into the integrated management of Lerma-Chapala basin, a strong collaborative effort with still a defiant
way ahead.

THE FOURTH HINUMA ENVIRONMENT FESTIVAL RAMSAR SYMPOSIUM IN HINUMA
Yaeko Yahagi
Vice chair, Executive Committee of 17th World Lake Conference Satellite Hinuma
Ibaraki Town, located at the center of Ibaraki Prefecture, is a rural city with the peaceful living atmosphere that is blessed with a richnatural environment of water and greenery, such as “Hinuma Lake.” Hinuma, the symbol of Ibaraki Town, is the only brackish waterlake in the Kanto region of Japan (Tokyo metropolitan area). Represented by “Hinuma Ito-Tombo (Mortonagrion hirosei)” which isnamed after the lake, it provides habitats for the wide variety of wild species such as the migratory scaup “Suzugamo,” “O-washi (Steller’s Sea Eagle),” “Osekka (Marsh grassbird)” and many other flora and fauna. It was designated of the Ramsar Convention (Convention on
Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat) in May 2015.
However, after entering the Showa era (after 1925), once Hinuma’s water quality was deteriorated, and the original beauty has been
impaired, due to the changes in the environment such as the increase of population of the river basin, economic growth, revetment
maintenance, and reclamation project. On September 30th, the Ibaraki Town, as one of the satellite venue, we have hosted the fourth
Hinuma Environment Festival: Ramsar Symposium in Hinuma. We discussed our required action for conservation of the rich naturalenvironment of Hinuma and for receiving the bounty of its natural resource sustainably.

Vice Chair, World Lake Conference Satellite Working Group, Executive Committee of Mito City Environmental Fair 2018
Mito City is the prefectural capital located at a distance of about 100 kilometers from Tokyo with a population of about 270,000
people. Roughly in the center of the city is Kairakuen Park, which is one of the three great gardens of Japan, and Senba Lake. Mito
City is a historical city where Mitsukuni Tokugawa, who is known as Mito Komon, and Yoshinobu Tokugawa, who was the last shogun,
lived and many tourists visit its plum festival.
Senba Lake is a place where people can relax surrounded by nature and symbol of Mito City, however, because of the little waterflowing into the lake, the outbreak of blue-green algae is an issue during summer months and the government and public have been
engaged in measures against blue-green algae together.
For the Mito City Environmental Fair, a biotope challenging the public what to do to take over the responsibility for this rich nature in
the future and events incorporating programs including fishing of non-native species and allowing the public to learn from experience
were created. For the symposium, grown-ups and youths also had an earnest discussion and increased their awareness of theimportance of environmental conservation.

University Student Association(IVUSA)In Lake Biwa, Water primrose Ludwigia grandiflora was first found in 2009. It reached 300,000 square meters within 7 years. Becauseof an amazing ability to propagate, it was designated as a specific alien species in 2014. In 2013, almost all people don’t know the
problem, commercial fishermen who were elderly were mainly engaged in removal activities, and removal of aquatic plants was aheavy work.Against these problems, the activities began with the desire of student to save Lake Biwa by the power of young university
students.
We,IVUSA (International Volunteer University Student Association), started activities from 2013. We have carried out 40 removal
events in which a total of 9,543 persons were paricipated including administrative officers, regional environmental organizations,commercial fishermen, and local residents. As much as 320 tons of water primrose was successfully removed. As a main activity,
we regularly conduct removal activities and we organized large scale removal events by more than 1,000 students for 3 days
every summer vacation.Also we have tried to raise regional awareness and crisis consciousness of this problem by carrying out an
education for children and exhibitions for stakeholders.Through these activities, we are aiming for complete removal by establishing anorganization that can detect and remove it at an early stage.

TRANSDISCIPLINARITY AIMED AT SOUND HYDROLOGIC CYCLE IN INBANUMA WATERSHED
Akihiko Kondoh
Professor, Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Inbanuma (Inba Lake) is a closed lake located in Tokyo metropolitan area, and serves as a water resources of Chiba Prefecture. To
improve water quality and to create a safety in flood, vigorous and comfortable region to live in, Chiba Prefecture founded a council
for sound hydrologic cycle in Inbanuma watershed in 2001. Taking opinions of citizens, action plan for improving the environment
in Inbanuma watershed was decided in 2013. The activity includes collaborations among different sectors, such as "MITAMESHI
Activity"(adaptive management), with the holistic viewpoint subsuming multiple subjects in the watershed. Despite all the effort, water
quality in Inbanuma did not show the signs of improvement. On the other hand, most of the residents in the watershed do not notice
the relationship to Inbanuma. So, the exchange meeting of Inbanuma watershed was established in 2014 to loosely connect all the
stakeholders who share the achievement of the objectives for sound hydrologic cycle and regional creation in Inbanuma watershed.
This is a trial for the realization of transdisciplinarity that has been targeted in SDGs(Sustainable Development Goals) and Future
Earth(scientific framework to establish SDGs).

It became the times when sustainable development goals, so-called SDGs which the United Nations set in 2015, attracted attentions
in various scenes. ESG (environment, society, governance) is regarded as important for an index to evaluate a corporate value, andconsideration for the environment becomes extremely important in the corporate activity. Hitachi, Ltd. promotes resolutions of social/customer issues through our social innovation business and works on environmental conservation.
In this presentation, I introduce the new framework for Hitachi environmental management which realizes low-carbon, resource
efficiency, and natural harmonizing society. Furthermore I introduce the nitrogen and phosphorus removal system from the sewage orlakes water for contributing to environmental conservation.

THE HISTORY OF LAKE BIWA'S WATER ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION AND SHIGA’S NEW
INITIATIVES
Naoki Komatsu
Director General, Shiga Prefectural Government
The initial push toward restoring the water quality of Lake Biwa came from housewives who took a leading role in initiating a public
movement to make the switch from synthetic detergents to organic soap in the late 1970s, when fresh water red tides were observed.
In response to the movement, the Shiga Prefectural Government established an ordinance prohibiting the use of synthetic detergents.
It also improved sewers and created regulations on industrial waste water, improving water quality to a certain level. However, there
are still many problems regarding loss of ecosystems, such as the decrease in endemic species, the increase in invasive species, andthe overgrowth of waterweed. Based on the Lake Biwa Comprehensive Conservation Plan (Mother Lake 21 Plan), which was revisedin 2011, the Shiga Prefectural Government has promoted initiatives to address these problems in collaboration with various parties
such as governments, citizens, NPOs, researchers and companies. In addition, Shiga is conducting investigations and research toward
introducing the use of TOC (or Total Organic Carbon), with which all organic matter can be measured, in order to manage water
quality and preserve the ecosystem.

Director-General for Regional Revitalization and Comprehensive Strategy, Semboku City, Akita Prefecture
In Lake Tazawa, fishing has been actively carried out until 1930’s and the endemic species in Lake Tazawa, Oncorhynchus
kawamurae (common name “Kunimasu trout”), inhabited. However, most of the species inhabited in Lake Tazawa, including Kunimasu,
died after introduction of highly acidified water of Tamagawa river to Lake Tazawa for irrigation and electric-power generation in 1940.
In 2010, it was confirmed that Kunimasu, which had been believed to be extinct, are living in Lake Saiko, Yamanashi Prefecture. On
this occasion, Semboku city has started “Restoration of Lake Tazawa and Kunimasu Homecoming Project” and has been carried out
activities for environmental restoration of Lake Tazawa. In 2017, a facility to display Kunimasu and dispatch information of history andculture of Lake Tazawa and messages to future was opened. The facility is also utilizing as a place of environmental study for children
and students. One of future issues is to accelerate activities for restore environment that Kunimasu may swim in Lake Tazawa again
continuing utilization of Lake Tazawa for irrigation and electric-power generation.

Mitsuru Izumo
CEO, euglena Co.ltd.,
We, euglena Co., Ltd. is a venture company which had reached the world’s first successful outdoor mass culture of edible microalgae
Euglena. We are trying to create new solutions for global food issues and environmental problems with it. We have been working
on multifaceted business development primarily in healthy food and cosmetics areas. At the same time, as Euglena is a single-celledorganism that photosynthesizes highly efficiently, we have been studying for addressing CO2 emissions reduction as well as for utilizing
Euglena in biofuel and feed.
The B-DASH Project in Saga prefecture was conducted to test if unused resources in sewage treatment such as CO2, Nitrogen andPhosphorus can be used for Euglena cultivation. Then we investigated whether such Euglena can be used for feed or fertilizer as highvalued products. In order to sell such Euglena in feed or fertilizer markets, it is necessary to pass safety tests which are requiredby legal authorities. Once we reach the realization of value-adding utilization of unused resources in wastewater, it will broaden
opportunities of environmental businesses for a sustainable society.

Next, the government officers from ME and MLIT show new policies and programsin lake management, and the researchers explain the examples of cooperation activities and new indices for ecosystem service. Basedon these information, we shall discuss 1) what problems Japanese and foreign lakes are facing or will face? 2) how do we utilize
ecosystem services sustainably? and 3) what types of within-basin and between-basin cooperation activities are needed for it?

NEW INDEXES OF WATER ENVIRONMENTS CONSIDERING ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION IN
LAKES
Kazuya Kumagai
Director, Water Environment Division, Environmental Manegement Bureau, Ministry of the Environment
Although there has been reduction in inflow load from land based on the lake plan, the achievement ratio of water environmental
quality standards of domestic lakes has been stagnant at approximately 50%. There are also problems of poor oxygen water massin bottom layer, overgrowth of aquatic plants, and decrease in native aquatic life, and there are indications that there is difficulty inconveying the current situation of water environment only using achievement ratio of past environmental quality standards.
In order to improve the situation and make the goals and evaluation of lake water environment easier to understand for the public,
the Ministry of the Environment implemented new water environment indexes (amount of bottom layer dissolved oxygen and Littoral
water transparency) in 2016 March.
Amount of bottom layer dissolved oxygen was set as living environmental standard in terms of securing dissolved oxygen forinhabiting aquatic life, and Littoral water transparency was set as a regional environmental objective in terms of recreational use andconservation of aquatic plants.
We will continue approaches to penetrate measures utilizing new indexes and to achieve favorable water environment in various
lakes.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION EFFOTS IN LAKES BY THE MINISTRY OF LAND,INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT AND TOURISM
Masashi Iwai
Senior Deputy Director, River Environment Division, Water and Disaster Management Bureau, Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
During the period of high economic growth in Japan, the quality of the water in rivers and lakes has worsened with the progressof industrialization and urbanization, and this has influenced ecosystems. In cooperation with the relevant organizations such as
sewer managers, local governments and river administrators, MLIT has worked to improve water quality in the rivers and lakes where
the worsening of the water quality has been remarkable. As a result, the quality of the water in rivers and lakes has been gradually
improving.
Rivers and lakes are vital components of the nation’s land ecological networks that connect forests, farmlands and cities as
integrated areas. MLIT is working to “nature-oriented river works” in order to conserve and create such things as the habitat, growthand breeding environments for living things that are naturally living in the rivers. Currently, in cooperation with diverse entities, MLIT
has expanded its viewpoint from not only “nature-oriented river works”, which mainly focused on rivers, to promoting the creation of
attractive and dynamic river basin areas through the conservation of biodiversity, and introducing such initiatives.

LAKE WATERSHED COLLABORATION IN JAPANShinji Ide
Professor, School of Environmental Science, the University of Shiga Prefecture
To understand the current situation of watershed collaboration for lake conservation in Japan, the authors conducted questionnaire
survey in 2018. In the survey, we asked local governments having a conservation plan for a specific lake if there were any collaborative
projects with citizens or citizen groups carried out within the plans and, if any, what kinds of projects were they? As a result of thesurvey, it was revealed that types of collaboration in those projects could be classified into five steps, namely, Step 1: collaboration
with unspecified number of individuals and groups (25 cases), Step 2: one with council-type organizations (35 cases), Step 3: financial
and public relations support (15 cases), Step 4: joint planning and implementation (14 cases), and Step 5: division of roles (26 cases).
It was also suggested that types of collaboration tend to be more diverse and varied as the problems facing respective lakes become
diversified.

WATERSHED GOVERNANCE TO ENHANCE SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL HEALTH
Noboru Okuda
Associate Professor, Research Institute for Humanity & Nature
Degradation of aquatic environments and loss of interests in aquatic culture are considered environmental issues common inwatersheds of economically growing Asia. Within the watershed, each of local communities has a site-specific social issue. Toward thesolution of both social and environmental issues, we need transformation of values oriented to social-ecological health of watershedsystem through social involvement in environmental governance. Here I propose the watershed governance to enhance the socialecological health, which is assessed by three indices, biodiversity, nutrient cycling and well-being. For diverse stakeholders to be
involved in this governance, it is effective to incorporate community-based cultural approach into the science-based watershedmanagement. For this purpose, my project practices action research to empower local communities for conservation of the familiar
nature of wetlands through sharing their indigenous cultural values among community members, especially between generations,which results in enhancement of the above three indices at the local scale. In my talk, I introduce case studies in Lake Biwa of Japanand Laguna de Bay of the Philippines, which are considered a model for infrastructure-oriented and high-loading societies, respectively,in order to discuss applicability of this governance approach to a variety of watersheds in Asia.

IBARAKI PREFECTURAL GOVERNMENT’S EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY IN LAKE
KASUMIGAURA
Mieko Kuwana
Executive Director, Department of Residential and Environmental Affairs, Ibaraki prefectural Government
Lake Kasumigaura, located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, is a vast waterscape and part of a diverse naturalenvironment. Along with the towering Mt. Tsukuba on its northwestern side, it is a beautiful sight to behold representing Ibaraki
Prefecture. The lake water is also used for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses; and the lake is blessed with an abundance ofaquatic resources.
However, since nearly one million people live in the watershed, and industries such as agriculture and livestock are also populararound the region, nitrogen and phosphorus, which are the causative agents of eutrophication, flow into the lake, thus making it
easily polluted. In order to improve the quality of Lake Kasumigaura, Ibaraki Prefectural Government has established a Water Quality
Conservation Plan, and is promoting domestic wastewater management. The government also seeks to reduce pollutant loads via
agricultural land- and livestock-related countermeasures; and is promoting information dissemination, environmental learning, as
well as awareness raising activities. Furthermore, in order to implement the plan fully, the Kasumigaura Water Quality Conservation
Ordinance was enacted to regulate that the people in the basin ensure water conservation in all aspects of everyday life andproduction. The government also introduced a local tax called ‘Forest and Lake Environment Conservation Tax,’ and uses it as afinancial resource to accelerate the efforts.

WATER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA
Tsuyoshi Tatsuno
General Manager, Kasumigaura River Office, Kanto Regional Development Bureau, MLIT
The water environment of Lake Kasumigaura brings diverse benefits to us. In the Kasumigaura basin, flood damage and salt damage
frequently occurred in the past. As a result, the flood control plant has been raising the safety and security of the area, making it
possible to use water stably in the Tokyo metropolitan areas by the water utilization project. While urbanization of river basins anddevelopment of social infrastructure have been progressing, problems of water environment such as water pollution, loss of lake shore
vegetation zone and loss of lake water bathing spots have become apparent. In order to respond to these issues, the KasumigauraRiver Office will continue to provide diverse benefits of the environment of Lake Kasumigaura water based on the "Lake KasumigauraRiver Development Project" and "Lake Water Quality Conservation Plan for Lake Kasumigaura (Seventh Phase)''. In order to sustainably
enjoy and take the benefits over to the children of the future, the people in the basin are unitedly taking efforts to improve water
quality, conserve and restore the natural environment, maintain good mutual relation between the river and the people, preserve andform landscape, promote environmental education and carry out basin- wide comprehensive river management.

ECOSYSTEM SERVICES OF LAKE KASUMIGAURA AND THE ECONOMIC EVALUATIONTHEREOF
Kazuhiro Ebata
Vice President, Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center
People receive diverse benefits (ecosystem services) from Lake Kasumigaura; for these to continue to be available in the future, itis necessary to the nature and magnitude of the services received and link them to lake management. Therefore, we organized thecomponents of ecosystem services of Lake Kasumigaura and examined the changing of the amount of enjoyment of services and thecurrent economic value. It was revealed that items enriching human activities, such as water use, increased, and items related to floraand fauna, such as fish and aquatic plants, decreased. It also became clear that trying to raise the value of one ecosystem service
lowers the value of another ecosystem service. To resolve this problem and to enable people to coexist with the lakes, collaborationand discussion among all stakeholders concerned with Lake Kasumigaura is important.

The fishing industry has long prospered alongside Lake Kasumigaura, in particular the pond smelt, icefish and river prawn industries.
However, changes in the lake’s usage as a water source and a decrease in the aquatic plants that provide a habitat for fish haveresulted considerable changes in fishing grounds and increasing instability in the fishing industry.
In order to maintain the fishing industry and pass the riches of Kasumigaura on to future generations, we, Local fishermen, havedecided on rules such as limiting fishing time in response to the state of environmental resources and are working towards using
resources in an appropriate way. Furthermore, in order to increase the pond smelt that Kasumigaura is known for, we have introduced
an artificial hatching programme as well as environmental improvement projects such as reed bed conservation.
We hope to maintain the riches of Lake Kasumigaura for the future so that everyone has the chance to savor Kasumigaura fish. We
also hope that you will join us in understanding and cooperating with this project.

Lotus root is crop that is mainly in demand at New Year’s and seasonal festivals as a lucky charm. Abundant water resources andorganically-rich soil is essential for growing lotus root. For this reason, the number of areas where lotus root can be produced in Japanis incredibly limited.
Japan’s largest lotus root production area has been formed in areas with the morass around Lake Kasumigaura in Ibaraki Prefecture,
centered around Tsuchiura City and Kasumigaura City, where the area’s abundant water resources and rich soil can be used.
Here, we will introduce the actual conditions of production areas and initiatives taken at production sites from the perspective of
producers on lotus root production that utilizes the bounty of Lake Kasumigaura.

・‌Steel is produced by melting iron ore in the blast furnace, solidifying it in the continuous casting machine and rolling it in the hotrolling mill. In the manufacturing process, water is essential. Water cools facilities for protection from high temperature steel anddirectly washes off the steel surface to improve steel quality.
・‌About 2.6 million tons of water are used in a day. Some water is vaporized due to the cooling of high temperature steel or washing
off the steel. Most of the remaining water is recovered for effective use of water resources. The recycling rate is 90% or more. To
replenish the loss from vaporizing, about 230,000 tons of new water are supplied in a day from Kasumigaura.

FOR LIFESTYLE SOLUTION"
Masako Fujiwara
President, Ibaraki Life School Liaison Committee
I was very impressed by the taste of the Itako city tap water, I moved in 1974. I remember it tasting very good.
Since then, I have implemented many methods to purify the water in Kasumigaura Lake for many years. For example:
Action 1: ‌Distributing handmade acrylic scourer for diminishing the discharge of detergent and sewage water into Kasumigaura Lake.
Action 2: ‌Reusing water at home, mainly from bathtub.
Action 3: ‌Reusing cooking oil to produce oil candles.
Action 4: ‌Surveying dietary habits and listing food waste.
If everyone reduced waste with even a little sense of regret, we will revive the "Mottainai" spirit, and achieve real improvement in thewater purification at Kasumigaura Lake. I believe we should be more concerned with the environmental issues our planet is currently
facing.

Executive Committee of Satellite Tsuchiura has held three events related to Lake Kasumigaura. The first one is ‘The Citizen’s Festival
for Swimmable Lake Kasumigaura’. This annually held event has been organized by citizens since 6th World Lake Conference. This
year six high school students debated the future vision of lakes and watershed. The second one is ‘Summer Festival in Kasumigaura
Environmental Science Center.’ In this event, presenters including the special lecture, workers for fishery, farming and forestry, NPOmembers (Satoyama conservation) and university students dialogued the future vision of lakes and watershed, then talked about
charm and conservation of Lake Kasumigaura. Additionally, quiz event for children was held. The third one is ‘Satellite Tsuchiura Main
Events’. In this event, many participants including civic groups, businesses and administrators working for Lake Kasumigaura discussed
common goals for ‘future vision of Lake Kasumigaura’ after sharing and understanding what they have done. We are aiming for wholegenerations keep loving Lake Kasumigaura.

TOWARD A “SYMBIOTIC” SYSTEM BETWEEN HUMAN AND NATURE BASED ON A
RECONSTRUCTION OF CULTURE OF EATING FISH IN LAKE KASUMIGARUATakashi Chiba
Chief clerk (Curator), Kasumigaura city museum of history
When considering the relationship between human and natural environment in the Lake Kasumigaura region, the two importantfactors are fishing and culture of eating fish. As the human society develops, the nature of relationship between human and naturalenvironment changes. In Kasumigaura City, we at the Kasumigaura Municipal Museum of History organized a series of activities toconsider the symbiotic relationship between human and Lake Kasumigaura from the standpoint of local folk culture, such as fishing andfish consumption. This year, we have organized the “Fishing Sailboat Festival 2018” in connection with the World Lake Conference, aseries of lectures and symposia entitled “Fishing Sailboats and Fish Consumption Culture in Lake Kasumigaura,” and special exhibition“Fishing Sailboats in the History of Fishing in Japan.” Now, we use fishing sailboats as the symbol of local sightseeing and intend topromote fish in Lake Kasumigaura as a local brand. It is our hope to reconstruct fishing and culture of fish consumption by sales offresh local fish and other local products and by sightseeing using fishing sailboats. We believe that such reconstruction will eventuallylead us to the environmentally sustainable society and symbiotic relationship between human society and the rich ecosystem of Lake
Kasumigaura.

HOKOTA, A TOWN LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
Shigeo Oki
Hokota Regional Promotion Conference, Natural Environment Section, Section Leader
Hokota City is located amid rich nature surrounded by waters including the Kashima Sea and Lakes Kitaura and Hinuma, vast
farmlands and village forests in a diluvial upland, and it mainly depends on agriculture. Because Hokota was once a prosperous watertransport hub, it is also characterized by lakes/wetland and residential areas in close proximity. The city positions the preservation
and utilization of natural resources as an important item in the Second Comprehensive Plan and the Basic Environmental Plan and istrying to improve the water quality of inflowing rivers within this context. Also Civic groups, in addition to trying to preserve and revive
the precious natural environment, are going ahead with the idea of utilizing it in economic activities as part of an ecosystem service.
In order to make such activities and the local mood known to those in the city, in Ibaraki Prefecture, in Japan, and outside Japan, we
successfully hosted various events in the Hokota City satellite venue for the World Lake Conference. We are going to address various
issues through public and private cooperation to be committed to “a town living in harmony with nature.”

GROWING THE ANCIENT RICE AT "YATSUDA" IN SHISHIZUKA AND THE SEASONAL CHANGE

Taichi Sukegawa
Student, Ibaraki Prefectural Takezono High School
In 2015, the United Nations set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have “Life on Hand”; protect, restore and promotesustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainability manages forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradationand halt biodiversity loss. We cultivated a rice field, have grown ancient rice using the natural firming method; organic and non-fertilizer
in the local forest area called Shishizuka.
Shishizuka was selected as Satoyama of importance to save biological diversity in 2015. Satoyama is undeveloped woodland near
populated area.
Shishizuka is used both for animal habitant and for water source because there are not enough big feeder rivers to the lake of
Kasumigaura. In these days, it is difficult to maintain paddy field of Yatsuda. Yatsuda is with the situation of decreasing the numberof farmers, urbanization and aging farmers. As a result, the abandoned field is spreading rapidly. Also, due to losing animal habitant,ecosystem of whole Satoyama will be destroyed. Cultivating the field leads to the environment conservation activity maintaining
biological diversity.
We also investigate water quality and find out what kind of plankton exist in Shishizuka, and the relation with our farming.

Tsuchiura city regards environmental education as the most important item for fostering attachment to the local throughexperiencing local history and nature in terms of conservation and succession of rich nature including Kasumigaura, and has provided
elementary school students various environmental educations. Other public institutions such as Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental
Science Center (Ibaraki prefecture) located in Tsuchiura city have carried on events related to environmental education as well.
However, due to different PR style from different hosts, it used to be hard for elementary school students and guardians to attain all
water environmental events. In order to simplify and improve efficiency of event-related items (gain of publicity, application procedure),
Tsuchiura city established systems including unified event information distribution by email for elementary school students (guardians)

Tsuchiura city is located in the west of Lake Kasumigaura and residents here have been using its water for daily life. In mid-1960s,
watershed population growth and development of socio-economic activities brought water quality deterioration including offensive
odor from the lake, household reduction of fish catch and so on. One of the causes of water pollution is household wastewater andjohkasou, which is on-site domestic wastewater treatment system (tank), is one of the measures to treat household wastewater. In
1987, Japanese government started financial assistance for johkasou installation in order to promote countermeasures for domestic
wastewater. It is a program that national government and prefectures provide a part of cost to municipalities that carry out financial
assistance to those who install johkasou. At that time, Tsuchiura city launched a subsidy program to use it. Now, the city uniquely adds
to the amount of assistance of national government and Ibaraki prefecture. Furthermore, the city gives applicants a stricter condition
that they have to install certain type of johkasou, which have a higher treatment performance than those nation and Ibaraki prefecture
required.

Takashi Fujiwara
Environmental Conservation Section, Civic Life Division, Tsuchiura City
Designated as the first priority district of domestic wastewater counter measures in Ibaraki prefecture in 1991, which was based on
the Water Pollution Control Law, Tsuchiura city (except former Niihari village district) established ‘Tsuchiura City Domestic WastewaterCounter measures Improvement Plan’ in March 1992, and ‘Tsuchiura City Second Term Domestic Wastewater Counter measures
Improvement Plan’ in May 2009, and has been initiatively implementing domestic wastewater counter measures by establishingdeveloped infrastructure including sewage system and rural community wastewater treatment activities, and started financial
assistance for those who installed johkasou that cleared certain level of treatment performance. The result shows that population rate
in domestic wastewater processing system decreased from 32.2% (FY1990) to 6.2% (FY2016) for cespit, from 14.3% to 2.5% for single
treatment johkasou respectively, and sewage system increased from 35.2% to 81.3%. Four more new rural community wastewater
treatment facilities also enhanced to cover 2.8% of them. In spite of 6,414 population growth, BOD load was estimated to decrease
82.7%, from 1888.1kg/day to 326.4kg/day, which shows contribution to improve river water quality in Tsuchiura

Bizen river is inflowing Lake Kasumigaura, and its watershed was rapidly developed for urban area of Tsuchiura city. The waterpollution of Bizen river deteriorated due to the influx of household wastewater accompanying housing land development. Eventually,
the BOD recorded 24 mg / L (75th percentile, announced by formerly as known Environment Agency in 1992), which is third heightlate in Japan at that time. However, current BOD of river is 3.7 mg / L (75th percentile, announced by Ibaraki prefecture in 2016),
and the water quality has improved greatly. This improvement of the water quality is suggested to be the result of efforts of people
in various positions to improve water quality through "Water Environment Improvement Emergency Action Plan (Limpid stream
renaissance 21)" at Bizen river Planned in 1994. In this report, it is investigation of current state that the results of the survey on thewater quality of the influx channel inflowing the river conducted at the time of plan formulation.

Tsuchiura city is situated along the western shore of the Lake Kasumigaura(Nishiura) with the second surface area in Japan. And
the city has been developed with a blessing from the Lake. Water quality in Lakes was deteriorated sharply with due to economic
activation in the 1960s.With regards counter measures for this problem, waste water standards for factories and businesses in thecity are determined, which are based on the laws relating to water quality such as Water Pollution Control law, Ibaraki prefectures
ordinance, and so on. Since compliance obligation is required by factories and businesses, the prefecture investigates and instructs
improvements on status of compliance. This means that the city, positioned as assisting prefecture, has been investigating wastewaterof factories and businesses since 1972.This paper shows investigation result by the city.

Council to Improve the Water Quality of Lake KasumigauraThis project has been carried out in order to ‘increase awareness of water purification to those who living at watershed’ by surveying
water quality of 56-river water flowing into Kasumigaura. This year is marked the 17th.The survey method includes going to local rivers
together with citizens and children to observe river condition, filling in the format after observing. Afterwards river water is sampled,
carried back to schools, city office or so on in order to measure water quality by the method of simplified inspection. The survey result
is analyzed by external expert, summarized as report and handed out to people concerned. In 2016, digest version was published andhanded out to those who concerned, participated and so on. This project is carried out by simplified measurement, however, fromthe view point of changes by year, the percentage of low concentration area has been increasing year by year, which probably brings
improving tendency. The cause of pollution still seems to be wastewater from household, agriculture and livestock. Purification of
Kasumigura cannot be achieved only by administration, but by cooperation of residents of watershed. We intend to make continued
efforts to improve residents’ awareness of water purification of Lake Kasumigaura and inflowing rivers.

Council to Improve the Water Quality of Lake Kasumigaura“Kasumigaura and Kitaura Region Cleaning Campaign” is one of the main projects of our “Council to Improve the Water Quality of
Lake Kasumigaura”.It has been held twice per year, in spring and summer, since the Council was organized. The campaign was marked
the 89th in March this year. Over hundred thousand people, which covers more than 10% of Kasumigaura watershed population(960,000) participate in this campaign every year. In recent years, the number of participants has been increasing, although its growthrate is not as much as before. In the meantime, the amount of collected garbage has been decreasing, which is about half of 10 years
ago. The number of project participants is always over 10% of Kasumigaura watershed population which has been increasing in recent
years. This fact seems to obtain a deep understanding of residents. Furthermore, it appears that residents’ environmental conservation
awareness on Kasumigaura has been improving. However, the situation leaves much to be desired. We need to continue implementing
this project for environmental conservation of Lake Kasumigaura and rivers. We intend to make efforts that children and residents
reminds once again the necessity and importance of water purification of Kasumigaura and rivers, the source of “Water of life”, throughour project that children and residents visit the lakefront and riverfront and they feel present condition of their surroundings and water
quality by their own eyes.

Koise River Expedition Team was established in 2003, for the purpose of improving residents’ awareness of water purification of
the Koise River and the Lake Kasumigaura interconnecting all people living from upstream to downstream the Koise River. The teamconsists of three municipalities (Ishioka city, Kasumigaura city, Omitama city), environmental citizens groups in the municipalities,
and other related public institutions. The team has held 54 events in 15 years, and has been expanding its activities to many people,
especially local children. The events include a variety of contents depending on local characteristics, fields of mountain, water,and history, which lead participants to learn local nature and history from various perspectives. The events enhance residents’
understanding values of the lakes’ water purification and environmental conservation, and local history. Detailed event investigationis needed in order to have more participants in the future. In the watershed of Lake Kasumigaura, there are five expedition team, suchas Koise river. They develop their activities and each team hold events unique to itself. Further efforts are required in order for therevitalization of events by developing new activities including to exchange among expedition teams.

At the Ibaraki Plant of Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., it purifies the water used at the plant and discharges it to the Sonobe River whichflows near the factory. The Sonobe River is one of the rivers flowing into Lake Kasumigaura and it is an important source of water for
local farmers.
Therefore, we started biodiversity conservation activities from 2013 to analyze quantitatively how factory wastewater affects theSonobe River. In the activity, we conduct water quality survey of Sonobe River, aquatic life survey, bird survey, vegetation survey andacquire data. From the survey data, it is known that the quality of factory effluent is always superior to that of the Sonobe River andwhat kinds of organisms inhabit much. We will continue to investigate and accumulate data in the future.

We carried out citizen’s monitoring using fisherman’s set net, field survey of bitterling species and freshwater mussels, ex situ
conservation of endangered bitterling species and public awareness activities, to conserve native freshwater fish such as bitterling
around Lake Kasumigaura. We start fish monitoring with fisherman from 2006. About 48 species was observed and newly establishedaliens species was detected at the monitoring. Another monitoring was done around Lake Kasumigaura to monitor bitterling species
and freshwater mussels. Native bitterling species gradually decreased recently. On the other hand, freshwater mussel species
distributed relatively wide range around Lake Kasumigaura, although some species found at limited area. In these situations, we
carried out ex situ conservation of endangered bitterling species at small ponds. Recently, endangered bitterling species successfullyincreased, so we hand over increased individuals to other citizen groups. These activities and results have been reported throughsymposiums and publications

Bacteria play a significant role in materials and energy cycles in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, we clarified the seasonalvariations of bacterial production (BP) in relation to the carbon budget at the center of Lake Kasumigaura from 2012 to 2016. BP wasmeasured by the 15N-deoxyadenosine method and relationships between BP and primary production (PP) were examined. BP varied
between 0.01 gC m － 2 d － 1 (December) ~ 0.80 gC m － 2 d － 1 (August) and was significantly positively correlated to water temperature.
The ratio of BP to PP showed lower values in winter (0.11 ± 0.08) and higher values in autumn (0.22 ± 0.20). Bacterial carbon demand(BCD; BP + bacterial respiration) was estimated to be 0.14~2.92 gC m － 2 d － 1 during the study period. In autumn, the BCD/PP ratio was
0.97, suggesting bacteria should consume organic carbon corresponding to phytoplankton production. On the other hand, the BCD/PP
ratio from winter to summer was found to be 0.48~0.58, indicating that the organic carbon produced by phytoplankton in the watercolumn was sufficient for BCD.

We studied the long-term trends of chironomid larvae in Lake Kasumigaura (Lake Nishiura ) from 1982 to 2012 (31 years). The
predominance chironomids were four species, Chironomus plumosus , Propsilocerus akamusi , Clinotanypus sugiyamai and Tanypus nakazatoi .
These population density changed dynamically from 1980s through 2010s. P. akamusi larvae which were the most dominant species
decreased sharply after 1990, and almost none of the larvae was collected in the 2000s. T. nakazatoi larvae increased rapidly after
1995. There was not an intense change in the density of C. plumosus . We discussed the alternation mechanism of these dominant

The objective of this study is to identify sources and metabolism of nitrate from analysis of δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3 and ∆17ONO3 stable isotope
abundances in forest and rice paddy watershed around Mt. Tsukuba, Japan.
Nitrate in the rain fall and the through fall in the forest watershed had high δ18ONO3(64.78 - 70.80) and ∆17ONO3(16.16 - 21.07) values
similar to those of nitrate in deposition. These values immediately decreased in the litter layer, soil and mountain stream.
Nitrate in the drainage water in the irrigated rice paddy watershed had high δ15NNO3(10.50) values compared with that in the forest
watershed. δ18ONO3 value shift from hypothetical mixing line was observed especially in the drainage water. This data suggests that 18O
enrichment was common in paddy field as a result of denitrification or assimilation.
The research indicates that the triple oxygen and nitrogen isotopes can be used as a powerful tool in order to identify nitrogensources and metabolism in a forest and agricultural field.

Once there existed various vegetation beginning with emergent plants like common reeds etc. in the lakeshore zone of Lake
Kasumigaura, the second largest lake in Japan. However, due to the construction of a lakeshore levee based on the development
project of Lake Kasumigaura, which aimed at mitigation of flood damage around the lake and water resource development, part ofthe vegetation in the lakeshore zone has vanished. Further, the remaining vegetation area has been slightly decreasing even after thecompletion of the construction work in March of 1996.
To cope with the decrease in the lakeshore vegetation area, Japan Water Agency (hereinafter referred to as “JWA”) started to makeefforts to restore the lakeshore vegetation zone in 2002 by reclaiming foreshore with the effective use of dredged soil as a lakeshore
maintenance material, which was generated by the dredging work implemented as part of our maintenance work. And to this day,natural generation and growth of emergent plants like common reed etc. have been continuing as expected. Furthermore, it was
found that the shallows in the artificial foreshore, which was reclaimed in a new attempt, was expectedly effective as a place to growlakeshore vegetation including submerged vegetation and aquatic organisms.

we introduce the changes in water quality in the lake after 2000s. In 2011, massive cyanobacterial blooming was suddenly observed,
and the reason for the cyanobacterial blooming has not been clarified until now. We assumed if the blooming is related to the linkage
between the ecosystem functions of sediment and the environmental factors in the water column. We would like to introduce thedetailed history of the interaction between water column and sediment in Lake Kasumigaura.

The occurrence of musty odor concerns originated from microorganisms in freshwater environments has been reported in all over theworld. Actinomycetes are known one of the causal microorganisms to produce musty odor substances in fresh water environments.
Light is one of the most important factors for metabolic response of actinomycetes. Previous studies have reported that Streptomyces
coelicolor A3(2) produced carotenoid when exposed at blue light, but didn’t produce at red light. Both carotenoid and geosmin are
terpenoids. Furthermore, isopentenylpyrophosphate is common precursor of geosmin and carotenoid. In this study, we conducted
plate culture experiments under different LED light intensity (0, 1, 10, 20 and 30 µmol m-2 s-1) of white, blue (470 nm), green (525nm), and red (660 nm) light to elucidate the factors that influence on geosmin production. Geosmin production of S. coelicolor A3(2)gradually increased under blue and white light condition between 2.5 and 20 µmol m-2 s-1 light intensity, but the production tended
to decrease above 20 µmol m-2 s-1. This result suggested geosmin production of S. coelicolor A3(2) increased when exposed shortwavelengths light, but decreased at light intensity above specific level.

In the Sakura River basin, agricultural water canal channel is built with Lake Kasumigaura as its water source, and the water is used
for irrigation of agricultural land. Drainage from the agricultural land flows out into the river and returns to Kasumigaura again. Water
quality and flow rate of river under such water circulation mechanism is expected to be affected by agriculture. In this research, we
attempted visualization of water quality by observing electric conductivity which is easy to measure at multiple points in the basin.
From the results, we decided to consider the current situation and problems of the water environment in the Sakura River basin.

Yukimi Yamane
Kasumigaura Academic Circle
Kasumigaura Academic Circle was founded in 1991 by researchers and citizens who were interested in the conservation of Lake
Kasumigaura. At that time, big outbreak of water-bloom frequently occurred in the lake, and it became a serious social problem inthis area. Then citizens, administrations and researchers made efforts to solve the eutrophication and related problems of the lake.
One of the most important purposes of the circle was to offer opportunities of sharing outcomes from each member's research
activities, exchanging information and creating views about the conservation and improvement of the lake environment. To realize
those, it regularly had symposiums from 1991 to 1995 when the 6th World Lake Conference was held in Ibaraki. It has also published ascientific journal containing many papers dealing with biodiversity and ecosystem, and social aspects of the lake.
After the world conference, Ibaraki Prefectural Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center was founded in 2005, and has functioned
as the center of researches mainly for the improvement of lake water quality, and formed a footing for citizen's activities, informationexchanges and education in environmental issues. The Kasumigaura Academic Circle's role seems at least partially to be handed
over to the function of the center. However, the circle's role will still remain in points, that discussions on problems and exchanges of
information from a free and neutral stance are expected, and members' researches will contribute to conserving the biodiversity andecosystem, as well as solving social problems of the lake.

Rivers are streaming from a mountain and flowing into the sea. Most of Japanese rivers are also the same, and their distinctive lines
are a steep slope and the high flow rate. However, Sakuragawa river that flows through the agricultural area of Ibaraki Prefecture has
the gentle slope and low flow rate. Also, this river doesn’t flow into the sea but flows down into Lake Kasumigaura. The water of Lake
Kasumigaura is pumped up and used as agricultural water, drinking water and industrial water at the Southwest part of Ibaraki area.
The water, overflowing from the rice fields, runs into Lake Kasumigaura through Sakuragawa River again. This river plays an importantrole in the circulation system of the water in Ibaraki area.
Although Sakuragawa river was clean about 60 years ago, before Lake Kasumigaura had been damming up to make a reservoir,
recently it always shows murky green flow. For taking back to clean Sakuragawa river as same as 60 years back, we conducted thesurvey of water quality and environmental condition of the river from April 2015 through April 2018. From this survey, we thought
the improvement of the disposal of agricultural drainage and conducting activities to induce interest in the river environment toward
residents of the basin area play important roles to improve the water quality of Sakuragawa river.

Lake Kasumigaura is one of the major landing zone for migratory birds. However, bird damages to the lotus production is one of thevery serious concerns for farmer in Lake Kasumigaura basin. Some of farmers covers the lotus field by a bird net to avoid the yield lossof lotus production due to peaking, however, many birds were killed by the net in the lotus fields. This research was investigated theeffects of bird net managements on bird inversion to the field and yield loss of lotus production. The result reviled that the field where
covered on all side and the roof by the net completely, showed little bird inversion and minimized yield loss of lotus. On the other
hand, no net management field were inverted many bird and 3.5% of yield loss of lotus due to pecking.

Lake Kasumigaura is one of major habitats of aquatic birds in Japan. In spite of that, the surrounding lotus fields hasuda are now
covered with anti-bird nets. Since 2004, using prefectural subsidies, anti-bird netting has been set up on the lotus fields around
Kasumigaura in order to protect them from wild birds. Wild birds - mostly aquatic birds but also rare species such as birds of prey - diebecause of the nets. According to the data from Wild Bird Society of Ibaraki, in the 5 years from 2014 to 2018 more than 7000 birds
lost their life in the nets. We conducted a photographic survey to assess the current situation. We found out that the management of
the nets by lotus root farmers is still insufficient and the situation has not improved. Some nets that were past their service life havebeen removed, but this did not lead to the reduction of damage to the birds, which continue to lose their life in the nets. Children on
their way to school walk past the fields with ducks tangled in nets, struggling for their life. We believe that it’s important for humans tocoexist with wild birds and share the blessings of nature. Our aim is to use photographic and other evidence to gain wide recognitionof this serious issue and to call for measures to solve it, and eventually achieve protected status by registration of the site underRamsar Convention.

Effects of landuse and livestock-related activities on groundwater nitrate concentration was investigated in an intensive vegetable andlivestock production area, Hokota region, located at northeastern part of the Kasumigaura Basin. Groundwater nitrate concentration
was determined for the 70 wells in 2014-2017. QGIS was used for aerial photograph-based geospatial analyses to calculate different
landuse areas and to identify livestock shed’s roof areas and places of composted manure storage. These geospatial data in thesurrounding area of each well with different radii were used as dependent variables to elucidate the groundwater nitrate concentration
distribution by multiple regression analyses based on Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC). Moreover, the geospatial analyses for theneighboring zone of each composted manure storage with different radii were conducted separately from the other zone, assumingthat more composted manure is applied to the neighboring zone. Consequently, the best regression model was obtained when theradius from the wells was 500 m and that from the manure storages was 150 m, indicating that such geospatial analyses combinedwith multiple regression models can be used to estimate not only the effects of landuse and livestock-related activities but also the
influential areas on regional groundwater nitrate concentration distribution. The areal fraction of paddy field was selected as anindependent variable with a negative regression coefficient, suggesting that the percolating water from paddy fields is effective to
reduce groundwater pollution by nitrate in this region.

REMAINING IN LAKE BIWA

Lake Biwa Branch Office, National Institute for Environmental Studies
Wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio ) are suffering worldwide because of the invasion of conspecificdomesticated strains, and the native Japanese strain is no exception. A survey of mitochondrial (mt)
DNA sequences from 11 localities in Japan revealed that roughly half of the haplotypes found at all
11 localities were those of introduced Eurasian strains, indicating that the native Japanese strain issuffering as a result of the invasion of Eurasian strains. However, an intensive mtDNA survey of the Lake
Biwa population, the largest freshwater body in Japan, demonstrated that about 80% of the individuals
in its deep off-shore waters (30-70 m depths) had native Japanese haplotypes. Moreover, a population
genetic analysis of nuclear single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) revealed that Lake Biwa harbored a
relatively pure native population in its deep waters.
Morphological analyses of the Lake Biwa and introduced Eurasian carp using genetic hybrid indicesbased on the SNPs showed that the typical native Japanese carp surviving in the lake differed fromthe introduced Eurasian carp in a body-shape trait, some internal features, and some meristic andmorphometric characters used for carp taxonomy. A metadata comparison of the last characters
between the native Japanese and native Eurasian carp indicated that the native Japanese carp deserves
at least subspecific status. In addition, the native Japanese strain was located in a relatively basal
position in the molecular phylogenetic tree of the common carp. Therefore, the native Japanese strain
surviving in Lake Biwa has world conservation priority, to preserve genetic and taxonomic diversity ofthe species.

TS1-2 CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE RESEARCH OF
BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT AND ECOSYSTEMCONSERVATION IN JAPANESE LAKESNoriko Takamura, Shin-ichiro S. Matsuzaki
National Institute for Environmental Studies

In Japan's lakes, compared with before 2000 and after 2001, it was shown that about 28% of strictly
freshwater fish species and about 57% of aquatic vascular plant species have disappeared (Matsuzaki
et al. 2016; Nishihiro et al. 2014). This decrease in the number (or richness) of emerging species can be
regarded as one important signal indicating the current state of biodiversity deterioration of Japaneselakes. Further, Matsuzaki & Kadoya (2015) estimates of catch per unit effort (CPUE) of fishery resources
revealed that the CPUEs declined in most lakes, and the functional group richness of exotic piscivores
was the most important predictor of changes in the CPUE among several drivers (based on the longterm data on the annual catch, fishing effort, and fishing power of 23 Japanese lakes dating back to the1950s). This suggests a substantial decline in ecosystem services.
To mitigate further degradation of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to continue to enjoy thebenefits of freshwater areas and their adjacent ecosystems, we have started analyzing the relationships
among multiple ecosystem services in the Lake Kasumigaura Basin. Our dataset includes biologicalmonitoring of plankton and benthos in Lake Kasumigaura accumulated for about 40 years along withthe water quality monitoring since the 1970s (e.g., Takamura and Nakagawa 2012). This research seeks
to make use of such long-term data for evaluation and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems, inaddition to developing new monitoring methods and tools (e.g., environmental DNA).

The input of organic materials into aquatic environment has potential to become nutrients that could be utilized by phytoplankton.
Nutrient utilization by phytoplankton may affect plankton community structure in environment. This study aimed to determine therelationship between phytoplankton community structure and water quality in the Lake Gold Coast. This study was conducted fromJanuary to December 2016 in five observation sites. Physical water quality parameters (depth, transparency, turbidity, temperature,pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, chemical parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and orthophosphate) and biological parameters(phytoplankton) was analyzed. Group of phytoplankton found were Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, andEuglenophyceae. Bacillariophyceae has the highest abundance during observations. Based on water quality, there were three groupsof site. This grouping was used to conduct the further analysis. PCA analysis result showed that phytoplankton abundance was in close

Udayana University, Bali
One of the fish species that is a living resource found in Beratan lake is Rasbora sp . Rasbora sp contained in Beratan lake has uniquecharacteristics that have not been much studied yet either morphometric or genetic. DNA barcoding can be used to determine thestatus of Rasbora sp contained in Beratan lake. From the results of the research, it is known that Rasbora sp species in Beratan lake is acomplex species that cannot be clearly identified because the species is identical to the species Rasbora lateristriata and Rasbora baliensis
based on barcoding DNA. The grouping of rasbora species based on their living areas also occurs due to geographic isolation such as
waters, thus affecting the genetic diversity of Rasbora sp into low. In addition, data on conservation status, population trends, and tradestatus of Rasbora lateristriata and Rasbora baliensis species are not available adequately. This data is important for the management of thespecies on Rasbora sp found in Beratan lake.

Indonesia has numerous lakes and rivers inhabited by many native and endemic fishes. It has been reported that many of Indonesian
native fishes are declining because of overexploitation, habitat degradation, and pollution. Better management and conservationof Indonesian fish resources are needed for the sustainable utilization of the fishes. However, long term monitoring using traditional
methods is time consuming and laborious. Currently, the environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches have been proposed as alternative
tools to detect and monitor species in aquatic ecosystems. Primer design and test is an important step when targeting a particularspecies. The study aimed to develop specific primers for monitoring distribution of spotted barb in of Lake Maninjau and Lake Toba
using eDNA approach. In this study, the design primers were tested in silico and in vitro. Our designed primer seemed to be specificfor B. binotatus from Lake Maninjau and Lake Toba. However, further test should be conducted to increase the specificity of the primers.
Moreover, newly designed primers will be developed from another segment of mitochondrial DNA.

Thermal pollution of freshwater basins is an increasing problem related to power plants activity. Change in thermal regime oflakes can have far-reaching negative consequences as a source of environmental disturbance, posing a risk of local extinctions andsupporting establishment of invasive species. On the other hand, heated lakes and reservoirs can be used as a large scale experiment
for testing global warming related predictions. In order to address the question, how increased temperature will impact genetic
diversity and structure of local community, we used a system of five lakes heated by lignite combusting power plant in Poland. Due
to warm water discharge these lakes are ca. 3-4 °C warmer than non-heated control lakes nearby. We checked how five decadesof temperature elevation affected genetic diversity of Daphnia community, and compared genetic structure of Daphnia community
inhabiting heated lakes with control lakes community. Furthermore, we genotyped resting eggs extracted from sediments, produced
by Daphnia in heated lake before warm water discharge and afterwards, to check how the community changed through the time after
temperature elevation. Collected data provide an evidence for significant impact of thermal regime on structure and genetic diversityof local Daphnia community. Adaptation to climate warming will likely induce such changes in lake communities worldwide, as theymight be inevitable for community functioning in new environmental conditions.

A laser optical plankton counter was used to examine zooplankton size structure in seven urban lakes across the Swan Coastal
Plain (SCP), Western Australia. Based on the zooplankton abundance and biomass of equivalent spherical diameter ESD in 32 bins forevery 0.1 mm between 0.3 and 2.5 mm, zooplankton normalised biomass size spectra (nbss) were constructed to display community
structure. Nbss parameters slope and intercepts, were used to classify the zooplankton community size spectra. Zooplankton size
distribution varies across the lakes. Based the LOPC measurement, small-sized zooplankton (<1.0 mm ESD) was dominant in mostlakes which contributed to >50% of the total abundance. However, contribution of large-sized zooplankton (1 - 2.5 mm ESD) toward
total biomass was signifciant in Lake Yangebup, Little Rush, Bibra and Herdsman Lake. Small-sized zooplankton (0.3-1.0 mm ESD)
biomass, on the other hand, was evident in Lake Monger, Joondalup and Yonderup. Using the nbss parameters such as slope andintercept, a Bray-Curtis cluster analysis classified the zooplankton communities into three groups. Group with a lower slope wasobserved only for Lake Yonderup (slope= -0.471) which indicates the dominance of small-sized zooplankton. Lower slope were causedby the dominant of small copepod (0.5-1.0 mm ESD) which contribute to >80% of the total biomass. Group 2 and group 3 have asteeper slope closer to the theoretical value of -1 which indicate a significant contribution of large-sized zooplankton toward total
biomass. >50% of the total biomass was constructed by larger-sized zooplankton (1.0-2.5mm ESD) for this group.

The results of studying the zooplankton communities of various water bodies located in the urbanized areas of the Middle
Volga Region (Russia) are presented. The aim of the research was to assess biodiversity, characterize the structure of zooplankton
communities and identify the factors that have the greatest impact on zooplankton. The studied reservoirs were divided into 4 groups:
lakes located in floodplains of rivers and urban forest parks; small shallow-water lakes in residential micro-districts; ponds located onrivers flowing through the city and careers on rivers; small shallow-water lakes where rehabilitation measures were carried out. As aresult of the studies, 180 species of zooplankton were identified. The greatest number of species was in lakes located in parks and inresidential areas. It has been established that in urbanized areas, pollution and eutrophication processes have the greatest negative
impact on zooplankton communities. Negative correlations of quantitative indices of taxonomic groups of zooplankton with watercontent of copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc, permanganate oxidation were revealed.

Lake Nasser is a subtropical monomictic, mesotrophic lake and it is the main Nile water reservoir in Egypt. The Nile flood comesonce a year in late August and has a direct effect on the Lake ecosystem. This study investigates and documents the effect of Nileflood (the current regime) on zooplankton communities in Lake Nasser as a large artificial water body before filling of Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam (GERD). Zooplankton sampling was performed during flood (August 2016), post-flood (December 2016) and preflood (May 2017). Five sectors were selected as sampling locations covering the whole lake. zooplankton populations at the studied
area composed of four main groups, Copepoda , Cladocera , Rotifera and Protozoa in addition to meroplankton . The standing crop of thetotal zooplankton was higher during flood season with an average density of 117803 Org. m-3, while it decreased to more than the halfduring post-flood and pre-flood seasons with averages densities of 31602 and 31828, respectively. The study concluded that, flood is
an important factor that affects zooplankton composition and density in Lake Nasser and any future change in flood regime will haveits impact on zooplankton communities in Lake Nasser.

India has a wealth of wetland ecosystems that support unique habitats with large diversity of biota representing almost all taxonomic
groups. As per the National Wetland Atlas 2011, India has about 757.06 thousand wetlands with a total wetland area of 15.3 m
ha, accounting for nearly 4.7% of the total geographical area of the country. Out of these, only 26 wetlands have been designatedas Ramsar Sites (Ramsar, 2013). Upon recognizing the ecological significance of the wetland habitats, an extensive and intensive
survey was undertaken during 2012-2016 to document floristic and avian diversity of 20 wetlands from South Western Maharashtra.
The floristic diversity study revealed that about 263 plant species belonging to 210 genera of 63 families were recorded from thestudy area. Of these 263 species, 191 are dicotyledons belonging to 162 genera of 51 families and 72 species are monocotyledons
belonging to 48 genera of 12 families. About 180 species of birds belonging to 15 orders and 45 families were recorded, of those 138
are terrestrial birds and 42 species of aquatic birds were observed. Out of 180 birds, 113 residential, 42 residential migratory and 25
are migratory. To highlight the environmental and geographical significance mapping of these 20 wetlands have been completed withthe help of GPS. This paper reviews the wetland wealth of South Western Maharashtra, India in terms of floristic and avian diversity,
their geographic distribution and ecosystem benefits. The paper also discusses threats, priority area and management strategies forconservation of these fragile ecosystems.

The economy of the fishing community along the Jaffna lagoon is heavily dependent on fishing activities, but overfishing andoverexploitation of lagoon ecosystem is a significant challenge for the Sri Lankan government to support sustainable lagoon ecosystem.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the fisherman choices, preferences and willingness to pay for different sustainable lagoon
ecosystem management practices. Choice modeling approach was used to estimate the willingness to pay different lagoon ecosystemmanagement. Along the lagoon, 65 fishermen from four densely populated town fishing communities and 53 fishermen from twoless densely populated village fishing communities are randomly selected for this survey. Conditional logit model was estimated forthe selection of choices of fishing communities. Results show that fishermen from town communities are willing to pay for less forincrease the number of mangroves and develop the tourist facilities when compared to village fishing communities as there are highcompetitions for land along the lagoon shore in townfor fishing activities, anchoring fishing boats and housing. As fishing is the major
source of income for both communities, they are not willing to support for banning inappropriate fishing gears. Establishing fishingharbour facilities, properly planned multistory housing units, increasing the awareness of negative impact of inappropriate fishinggears and developing alternative sources of income for fishermenwould increase their support for the sustainable lagoon ecosystemmanagement.

Chilika Lake is the most significant coastal wetland along the east coast of India and a Ramsar site. The highly productive lake ecosystem with its rich fishery resources sustains the livelihood of more than 0.2 million fishers. Chilka is a vital wintering ground for the
migratory bird of Asiatic subcontinent. Nalabana island within the lake, spread over 15.53 sq. Km, designated as a bird sanctuary in
1973. Nalabana was known for highly productive capture fishing ground till 1973. The ban on fishing clamped after notification led toconflict between the local fishers and the protected area managers. Interestingly, after the designation of protected area the fishers
have been getting a good harvest from the trap they lay outside the sanctuary boundary. However, the ecosystem services, contributedby the sanctuary quietly has been gone unnoticed by the local fishers. For the ecosystem service paradigm to be relevant to resourcedependent communities, it is essential to generate awareness and their perception of it. The study carried out during July 2011 toJune 2014, by the authors, attempted to establish through scientific evidence, the ecosystem services provided by the sanctuary in theform of potential nursery and spawning ground for fish. The outcome of the study conclusively demonstrated that sanctuary is serving
as feeding and nursery for 45 species of fish and spawning of 11 resident species, contributing significantly to the lake fishery. The
outcome of the study changed the perception of local fishers about the sanctuary and ecosystem services it provides, also in resolving
longstanding conflict.

The authors examined the content of ecosystem services of Lake Kasumigaura and calculated economic value by using replacement
cost method and conjoint analysis. As a result, when applying the replacement cost method, the economic cost / benefit ofprovisioning services and regulating services were large, flood control was the largest among them. On the other hand, the economic
cost / benefit of supporting services were unable to be calculated. It is clear that water quality improvement is regarded as the mostimportant by conjoint analysis. However, there were issues, such as the necessity of calculation of value considering trade-off between
water pollution and ecosystem, and double accounting for provisioning services and cultural services. It was also suggested that there
may be additional cost/benefits that could be evaluated apart from those aspects evaluated here. From now on, while trying to solvethese problems, this author would like to use the factors identified here as a basis for stakeholder discussion, such as "what should be

Terminalia arjuna is a characteristic component of dry reverine forests in Sri Lanka which helps to control erosion,acts as a natural
bio filter and protects wet land areas.The current field-based approaches for estimation of volume in tree species are laborious andexpensive process due to destructive harvesting of more trees.Therefore to protect riparian species,we require accurate,flexible andvalid common equation to do predictions of volume estimation.This research mainly focuses on evaluvation of volume of Terminalia
arjuna in order to make suitable decisions regarding biodiversity and biological resource services in riparian areas.

For the current study,the secondary data was taken from Moragahakanda area in srinlanka.400 observation for Terminalia arjuna wereconsidered for constructing final volume equation.All possible combinations of linear equations were developed with the relationshipof total vilume(V), with diameter at breast height(DBH),Total height(H) and basal area(BA).The most appropriate model was selectedconsidering the higher adjusted coefficient of determination(Adj R2),low root mean square error(RMSE) and other parameters used
for model adequacy checking such as Durbin Watson statistics(Dw),Anderson darling normality test etc.Overrall result indicates that

1In Lake Kasumigaura, the environmental changes such as water quality degradation and the development of lakeshore embankmentsin the late 1960s are known as the causes of a large-scale reduction of aquatic plants in the coastal wetland in 1997. Various
mitigation measurements have been applied to conserve the coastal wetland, such as the development of wave-breaking facilities andbeach nourishment. Despite of those efforts, the decrease of the aquatic plants including Phragmites australis have continued afterward
in approximately 20 years to the present. This study investigates the changes in the coastal vegetation in the Lake Kasumigaura,
Nishiura, for the last 20 years in terms of the spatial distribution, species composition, and characteristics, using vegetation maps. In
addition, this study analyzes the possible causes for those vegetation changes. The results show that the reduction of coastal wetland
mainly composed of aquatic plants has found all over Nishiura and also reveals that the invasion and growth of tree species in which
replaces the aquatic plant species. Furthermore the result illustrates that the size of the coastal wetland in the conserved area has
been maintained even though in the unconserved areas the reduction of the coastal wetland has continued. In the future, based onthese results, it is thought that it is necessary to develop a methodologies to create and maintain the coastal wetland while resolving
the decreasing trend, and to further promote conservation measures.

Lakes are important wetlands that provide critical habitats for vertebrates. In this study, species richness and endemism ofvertebrates were assessed in four lakes of Agusan del Sur. Cruising, mist netting, and McKinnon’s List methods were employed to
document vertebrates in the area. Forty-eight vertebrate species comprising 38 birds, three bats, and seven herpetofauna (threeanurans and four reptiles) were recorded in the four lakes of Agusan del Sur. A low endemism of 29% was documented consisting of
10 species of birds, one bat, and three herpetofauna. Two Philippine endemic species have vulnerable status, namely, Anas luzonica(Philippine duck) which was only recorded in Oromica Lake and Oreophryne anulata (Mindanao Cross Frog) which was only found in
Nato Lake. The endemic bat species, Ptenochirus jagori (Greater Musky Fruit Bat) was the only bat species found in all lakes sampled. Ahigh species diversity with even distribution of species was recorded in the lakes of Agusan del Sur where Nato Lake had the highest
vertebrate species richness (S=41) and diversity (H’=3.714). Bray-Curtis cluster analysis showed that Lakes Oromica, Nato, and Los
Arcos had the highest similarity percentage in terms of birds while Lakes Himbang and Nato had the highest similarity percentageof herpetofauna. Lakes Oromica and Nato were more similar in bat composition. Conversion of forest surrounding the lake into
agricultural purposes was observed as threat to the vertebrate fauna in the area. The presence of three vulnerable species indicatesthe need for conservation of the four lakes in this study.

1Southeast Asian inland lakes and reservoirs are important ecosystem which functioning in both ecological and economical services.
The primary factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic macrophytes, adapted
to the unique hydric habitat. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the macrophytes diversity and distribution represented
in a few selected lakes and reservoirs of Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. The field survey were carried out from February 2015
until April 2018 in eight selected lakes, namely Chini Lake, Bera Lake, Chenderoh Reservoir, Temengor Reservoir (Malaysia), Tempe
Lake, Jatiluhur Reservoir, Saguling Reservoir (Indonesia) and Inle Lake (Myanmar). There were four natural lakes and four man-madereservoirs. All of them play multi-functional roles including as a source of fisheries and tourism, power plant, as well as water sources
for irrigation. In Malaysia, there are four consecutive reservoirs along Perak River, whereas in Indonesia, there are three consecutive
reservoirs along Citarum River. The result showed relatively high in diversity of macrophytes in natural lake compared to manmade reservoir. Subsequently, the characteristics of the lakes are the most important aspect for macrophytes distribution. A better
understanding of spatial patterns of macrophytes diversity and distribution would help to improve conservation efforts as well as forthe invasive alien species monitoring program because prevention is the most effective method to control the invasive species.

Recently, populations of river-specific plants and herbaceous perennial species in Japan have decreased and extinct. However, ina preliminary investigation, we confirmed the presence of rare plant communities in the Tenryu-gawa River system. And, alien plants
such as Coreopsis lanceolate and Robinia pseudoacacia invaded and established in the natural grassland in Tenryu-gawa River system.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the habitat conditions and structures of these rare plant communities on theriverside grassland vegetation in this area to conserve these endangered species. Vegetation and environmental conditions of theriverside communities were investigated in the summer of 2017.All investigation plots were 28, and the area of one quadrat was 2m ×
2m. Five types of communities were distinguished by a TWINSPAN classification. These were primarily classified into three high-water
channel site types and two low-water channel site types. The endangered herbaceous perennials, such as Cynanchum paniculatum or
Ixeris chinensis subsp. strigosa , appeared in high-water channel site types, whereas the river-specific plants, such as Potentilla chinensis or
Artemisia capillaris , dominated in low-water channel site types. On the other hand, alien plants such as Coreopsis lanceolate invaded in all
types. It was thought that many alien plants had a negative influence on the growth of the rare plant communities.

Limnoperna fortunei (the golden mussel) is an invasive freshwater bivalve native to China and the Korean Peninsula. This epifaunal
species can have harmful effects on the environment and man-made structures, such as irrigation facilities. In Japan, it was first foundin Lake Biwa in 1992, and began to be found in eastern Japan, including the Tokai and Kanto regions, in the 2000s. We investigatedthe distribution and expansion of this mussel in Lake Kasumigaura (the second largest lake in Japan) and its surrounding areas. From2006 to 2012, the mussel expanded its distribution from 48% of the shoreline of Lake Kasumigaura to 83%: its density (as indicated by
the number of mussels collected in 10 minutes by a single researcher) in 2012 was on average 3.8 times that in 2006. The mussel was
found in headrace channels, reservoirs and rivers that draw water from Lake Kasumigaura. Spatial distribution and genetic data suggestthat one of its most important routes of range expansion is via artificial waterways. The organization managing the water facility thattakes water from Lake Kasumigaura is trying to monitor and eliminate the mussel in the facility to suppress its spread through the canal
network served by the facility.

Fish were sampled using gill nets, seine nets, cast nets and some were also collected from fishermen’s catches at the tributariesof the Benthota River in Katapola, Ganegoda, Avitthawa, Yagirala and Galatara from August to December 2016. To investigate
the potential threats from Chitala ornata , its stomach contents were analyzed and quantified using the Point method based on thepercentage of bio volume per food category. Ten species of fish were recorded from all five sites, including two endemic species,
Clarias brachysoma, Channa orientalis . Some indigenous species such as Puntius vittatus (n=371), Rasbora daniconius (n=120), Puntius dorsalis(n=33) and Trichogaster pectoralis (n=52) were also caught in reasonable number. Parts of fish (scales, fins and flesh), mollusks, adultinsects, insects larvae, macrophytes and digested/detritus matters were observed in the stomach. Among the stomach contents of
C. ornata larger than 15 cm, highest bio volume (72%) comprised of parts of fish which was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than otherfood categories. Macrophytes accounted for the lowest biovolume (6.5%) which was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the other foodcategories. However gut contents of C. ornata smaller than 10 cm comprised of a higher percentage of algae and plant materials (60%).
Remains of fins of Channa orientalis , and Rasbora daniconius and some invertebrates observed in stomach contents of C. ornata , indicatedits negative impacts on biodiversity in study sites. Therefore urgent attention should be paid to population control of C.ornata and toprevent its further invasion into new habitats.

O1-26	ARE JAPANESE RICE FIELDS THREATENED BY THE NEW INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIESOF TADPOLE SHRIMP (TRIOPS STRENUUS WOLF, 1911) FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA?
Hidetoshi Naganawa
The United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Gifu University
Three species of tadpole shrimp, i.e., Triops sinensis (Uéno, 1925) (resurrected by Naganawa in 2018, previously synonymized
erroneously in Japan with Triops granarius (Lucas, 1864)), Triops longicaudatus (LeConte, 1846) and Triops cancriformis (Bosc, 1801-1802),
have been known from Japan. The author described a fourth Triops species (= Triops strenuus Wolf, 1911) living in the rice fields of
Shirahama and adjacent area of Wakayama Prefecture (a southern area of Honshu, the largest of the four main islands of Japan). This
species was probably endemic to the Australian continent, and no habitat distribution outside of Australia has been reported so far.
The impact on the existing ecosystem of Japan is quite unknown, and therefore, it is necessary to announce this intrusion into Japan inorder to clarify the invasion route, habitat ecology, and the future measures against this new alien species. This invasion is considered
to be caused by the resting eggs brought together with silica sand (imported from Western Australia into Japan for the large-scale
beach improvement). There are two possible routes of dispersal from the coastal sand to the rice fields where T. strenuus had beenfound in Japan: (1) windborne dispersal and (2) dispersal by human activities (i.e., tourism) and/or animal vectors (e.g., water birds andcrows). The results presented here also describe the phylogenetic relationship with all the Australian species described so far, but also
all the known Triops species of the world, based on the nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial DNA.

Redclaw (Cherax quadricarinatus , von Martens) is a crayfish native to north-eastern Australia and southern New Guinea, being found
for the first time west of the Wallace Line in Java in 2016. Following introductions for aquaculture purposes, it escaped from culturing
facilities, exhibiting invasive habits in various tropical and subtropical countries. Based on climate matching, its further spreading
within Indonesian territory was predicted. We surveyed selected localities within Indonesian territory to check the species occurrence.
Redclaw crayfish were found in numerous rivers, lakes, ponds and reservoirs in Batam and Bintan Islands, Java, Sulawesi, and Sumatra.
Some stocks were apparently well established, providing a food source for locals and sustaining catching for pet trade purposes. Since
there are no effective regulations of this crayfish introductions and exploitation in Indonesia, its further dissemination and spread to
new localities is expected. This will lead to the devastating consequences toward often endemic freshwater biota in this prominent
biodiversity hotspot. Increased attention to this issue, especially at the level of wildlife management and national environmental policy,
is urgently needed.

Rapid urbanization is the main reason of habitat isolation and fragmentation in many city area of the world. Extinction, decreasing of
biodiversity and balancing of community lost were the effect of habitat isolation. Mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) are the vector of many
pathogen disease. Mosquito larva as prey in aquatic ecosystem could got some effect on unbalancing of community by Ecological
Barriers and Aquatic Ecosystem isolation. There are many small wetland, freshwater Lakes and ponds in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Sixteen
observation sites were selected by grid sampling method (3x3 km2). The physicochemical data and biological data were analyzed andcompared between every isolated area and main area. For the result, the newly created small canal, ponds that isolated from themain of larger habitat and ecological barriers as a water gate are inducing unbalancing of community, increasing number of mosquito
larva and increasing pond breeding site of mostly Culex species mosquito. Result of physicochemical and biological parameters show
dissolve oxygen (DO), Evenness of aquatic organism and percentage of predator were negative correlation between number ofmosquito larva. Moreover, good water quality was positive correlation between number of predator. From the result, the biologicalbarriers and aquatic environment isolation by human urbanization was indirect effect of the mosquito born disease in many countriesof tropical zone. Therefore, every construction and city management have to concern with the biological barriers and isolation.

This present study was conducted to establish the number of tilapia farms on the Volta Lake, their farm size, employees experiencein nutrient discharge and pollution control, annual production and feed used. Owners of 129 farms (83 small, 32 medium and 14 large
scale) were interviewed using qualitative and quantitative questionnaires. The 129 farms employed 1,379 permanent and 1,200 causal
workers with 3,392 cages (59% in used). The owners had no experience in tilapia farming and selected their sites based on physicalcharacteristics without in-depth research. Only 3% had legal documents to operate on the Volta Lake. The 129 farms produced
18,632.27 metric tons of fish in 2015 and 14,711.82 metric tons in 2014. Fifty-Eight percent fed based on stock density, 20% usedbody weight while 16% used the age of the fish. Ninety five percent do not measure water quality parameters, engage in any kindof pollution control and know the amount of phosphorus being deposited in the lake. Ninety percent had no knowledge about thecarrying capacity and zonation of the lake. All the farmers use between 70 and 90 bags (25kg per bag) of feed to produce 1 metricton of fish. Based on that, the author estimated that about 31,674.74 metric tons of feed were used in 2015 and 25, 010.09 metrictons in 2014 with FCR of 1.7. The findings led to the conclusion that Ghana’s aquaculture development on the Volta Lake needs to bebetter planned to prevent negative environmental impacts in the future.

Length and weight data of fish populations are necessary in stock assessment models and ecosystem modelling approach. Also,
they could be used to spatially compare between different fish population under different environmental conditions. This study
provides an updated information on the length weight relationships and condition factors of six fish species in Lake Nasser, Egypt. It
also investigates how these parameters affected by variation in environmental characteristics of the Lake, therefore it presents the firstreference on the spatial and temporal variation of these data in Lake Nasser. More than 13,000 fish were collected on monthly basis tocover different geographical and seasonal varieties of the lake. The values of the growth coefficient b obtained in this study were very
close to the values recorded by previous studies with slight inconsistency while the average condition factors K were generally lower
than that reported for the years between 1984 and 2000. Moreover, results have shown an overall statistically significant difference inseasons and locations’ total length, total weight and condition factor means. The results obtained from this study are contributing to
the knowledge of fish populations in Lake Nasser and highlighting the spatial and temporal variation of fisheries biological parametersin such large lake system. This variation should be considered by fisheries scientists and managers for future studies.

Ibaraki Fisheries Research Institute, Freshwater Branch office
In order to enable a sustainable exploitation and to manage the stock of Hypomesus nipponensis (Wakasagi (Japanese), Pond Smelt(English)) in Lake Kasumigaura, the Ibaraki Fishery Research Institute is conducting research to assess the population of H. nipponensis
and to determine the affecting factors. To identify the factors that influence the population of H. nipponensis, we have tested different
factors to see the correlation between them and the fluctuation of the fish population by using the research results data from 212
items of 18 different categories, such as water quality, prey organisms, and stock evaluation. The results have shown a relatively
strong correlation between the fluctuation of H. nipponensis population and 1/ population level of the previous year 2/ amount of preyorganisms available at the time of hatching and 3/ weather conditions. Consequently, we can suggest that environmental conditions of
the lake and the fishing industry are not the only factors that affect the fish population and that the weather conditions factor cannot
be ignored. We performed a GLM analysis with these factors as the explanatory variables and developed an early-stage population
evaluation model.

Pheakdey Sorn
Water and Wetlands Coordiator, IUCN Cambodia
As one of the world’s most unique freshwater ecosystems, the Tonle Sap lake is a dynamic socio-natural system. It is also a system
under threat by rapid environmental change and weak governance. Not only does this have implications for the wider Tonle Sap
ecosystem, but for the livelihoods of millions of Cambodian citizens, who depend on the resources provided by this natural ecosystem.
To address this, the EU-funded Non-State Actors project, implemented by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
and the Fisheries Action Coalition Team (FACT), sought to improve the livelihoods of fishing communities at three target sites in the
Tonle Sap: Kampong Phluk, Boeung Chhmar, and Phlov Touk. In collaboration with the target communities and relevant authorities,
each site implemented a fish conservation area (FCA) where fishing is prohibited year round to protect key fish refugia, benefitting
both the aquatic ecosystems and productivity of community fisheries. The project applied an ecosystem-based management approach,combined with common pool resource management principles and a highly participatory approach to achieve sustainable conservationand livelihood benefits in these communities. This paper outlines key elements with the intention of providing flexible guidance forother projects working for sustainable and conservation based community fisheries management in the Tonle Sap and beyond.

Lake Sevan in Armenia is one of the most overexploited freshwater mountain ecosystem in the world. Over the long term, severe anddiverse anthropogenic pressures have converted it from an oligotrophic ¨trout¨ lake into a mesotrophic ¨carp¨ reservoir. Water
level lowering during decades, drying out of the spawning grounds of endemic trout, illegal fishing, insufficient control of organic andpollutant input from catchment, occasional introduction of alien species, current water level fluctuations has caused significant changes
in the limnosystem. The current situation is characterized as a disturbed ecosystem stability as evidenced by species succession at all
trophic levels, intensification of bioproduction in the lake, shift of production-destruction processes. A recent governmental program forthe restoration of the endemic Sevan trout stock though a cage-based aquaculture in the lake could be an effective intervention to restock the lake with valuable trout species and improve its ecosystem services. However, it is needed to estimate the carrying capacityof the lake given its current vulnerability and instability. In this work, we estimated the capacity of the lake to assimilate organic input
from aquaculture with the maximum precaution, taking into account its historical trends and the current state.

A mass-balanced model of trophic interactions among 10 key functional groups of Lake Volta was constructed using the Ecopath
software to analyze the interactions and energy flows within Lake Volta. The study was based on secondary and primary data on
fish catch, diet composition, phytoplankton and zooplankton biomasses, collected in 2015 and 2016. An additional information on
growth parameters of major species required for balancing the Ecopath model were obtained from FishBase. The functional groups
were detritus, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos, prey fish, Tilapia , Bagrus , Chrysichthys , Alestes and Synodontis . In this ecosystem, four
trophic levels were identified and the energy flow mainly occurred within the first three levels. The calculated ecotrophic efficiency
value of the primary producers (phytoplankton: 0.075; detritus: 0.090) showed that they were least exploited compared to thezooplankton (0.80) and benthos (0.50), the secondary producers. The main energy flows in the ecosystem were from detritus andphytoplankton at trophic level 1 with Bagrus species being the top predator at level of 3.30. The connectance index (0.44) and systemomnivory index (0.06) indicated that the ecosystem was unstable, immature and still at a developing stage.

Aster kantoensis Kitamura is an endangered plant species, endemic to the gravelly floodplains of a few eastern central Japanese rivers,
and a flagship species for gravelly floodplains. Reduction in habitat could accelerate the decline of A. kantoensis metapopulations.
To avoid extinction, seven restoration programs were initiated along the Tama River in the 1990s and 2000s. However, only two
programs, including our experiment, currently continue. We examined the effect of human-aided seed dispersal in 2002 on an artificial
gravelly floodplain in the Nagata Area. After 15 years, the metapopulation was still thriving, as flooding created new safe sites forseed germination and seedling establishment. Furthermore, small populations of A. kantoensis were found to be thriving in the lower
course of the Tama River. The institutional administration added 90000 m3 of gravel to the upper course of the Nagata Area. A large
flood occurred in 2007 after which the population of A. kantoensis declined, before recovering in 2008. The dynamic aspects of thismetapopulation may have recovered. Since maintenance of the first artificial floodplain was difficult, other plants have been growing
densely in the area, which has reduced in 1/8 reduction in the original area. This experiment was conducted in collaboration withinstitutional administrators, citizens, and scientists. The restoration success of A. kantoensis in the artificial gravelly floodplain has led tosimilar restoration efforts near other rivers in Japan.

Mainstreaming of biodiversity is basically the process of integrating biodiversity concerns into policies and practices that impact andwork on biodiversity. The Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) advocated for this in its Article 6(b), which has also been reflectedin Biological Diversity Act, 2002 of India. India has developed 12 national biodiversity targets, as per the directives from CBD, which
are to be met by 2020, in line with National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. The targets (5, 6 & 8) related to inland fisheries
emphasize to achieve sustainable fisheries, conservation of ecologically representative areas and to safeguard areas of ecosystem
importance (e. g ., inland water bodies, wetlands and aquatic fauna). India is endowed with vast inland resources which includes
rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, wetlands lagoons, etc., that are providing habitats for some thousands of aquatic animal and plantbiodiversity, along with various ecosystem services. These resources play a significant role in providing food, nutrition, and livelihood
security of millions of people across the country, through different forms of inland fisheries and aquaculture. The present paper
analyses the scopes and challenges for mainstreaming biodiversity concerns into inland fisheries and aquaculture (including wetlands)
in Indian context and throws light on the present scenario and gives some recommendation in achieving this objective towards
compliance to National Biodiversity Targets, Aichi Targets and Sustainable Development Goals.

In Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, new problems such as elevated Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in water quality,
overgrowth of submerged macrophytes in the shallow areas, decrease of native fish and shellfish catch occurred in recent years.
Bivalves, especially freshwater clams Corbicula of which catch decreased remarkably, are affected by many factors constituting
the lakeshore environment, for instance, water quality and substrate conditions as habitat, and phytoplankton community as food.
Therefore, the state of bivalve populations should be a good indicator that comprehensively expresses the state of water quality
and ecosystems, and is easy to understand for local residents. For the restoration or regeneration of shallow sandy substrates in
the coastal area of lakes, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment and Shiga Prefecture started surveys on bivalves and benthic
macroinvertebrates in 2017, and also started a restoration demonstration of the lakeshore environment by collaboration withlocal residents. In addition, policy makers, researchers and residents are collaborating in compiling a guide how to improve coastal
environment of lakes. We report the progress of these surveys and restoration demonstration, and a content image of the guide.

Local knowledge (LK) is the knowledge that developed in a given region with histories of interaction with their natural environments,and had been historically used for resource use and conservation practices in estuaries and coastal habitats. However, it is overlooked
recently in reliance on scientific knowledge and new technological ability. In this study, we identified local practices using LKs forconserving commercial bivalve Shijimi clam and verified whether the restoration practices resulted in the improved clam habitat in thebrackish lagoon Kugushi-ko, in western Japan. It is demonstrated that elderly fishermen recognized that recent decrease in the clam
harvest in the lagoon was mostly due to habitat loss, since the harvest declined after coastal revetment project in the late 1970s.
On the assumption that the clam resource is under habitat limitation, they initiated habitat restoration practices recently using two
different methods: modern method depending on engineering techniques using allochthonous sediments, and traditional method using
LKs which depends on riverine sediment loads. The clam density was higher in the restored habitats than unrestored sites, and highest
in the traditionally restored habitat using LKs, suggesting the effectiveness of the traditional restoration. These results suggest thatapproaches to nature restoration can be determined by using LKs even in less ecologically studied regions.

András Szöllősi Nagy

National University for Public Service (NUPS)
The presentation will overview the current global perspective on freshwater with a view identify
major likely future challenges along with an outline of potential opportunities for solutions. Given the
projected demands for water, and the likely impact of climate variability and change, the present
water uses, including those in/of rivers and lakes, are clearly not sustainable. Finally, the political
recognition is born that freshwater is a major global issue. The presentation will attempt to identify
the technical, social and ecological challenges that need to be addressed to establish sustainable riverdevelopment and management practices for the future in the context of lake management. It will look
into the catchment scale hydrological impacts of various global change drivers. All these changes imply
strong non-stationarity. It will be argued that the design methodologies, such as the concept of design
floods, developed under the hypothesis of stationary hydrological processes, need to be revisited andupdated. Potential impacts of climate change will also be outlined along with the likely increase in theoccurrence of extreme events such as floods and droughts. Mitigation and adaptation measures will
shortly be outlined. Of the later structural and non-structural measures will be shortly examined. The
presentation will argue that the re-examination of some of the structural measures, such as the needfor more water storage, the need for more intensive hydropower development and the need to further
develop inland navigation, respectively, is a timely task. These measures will pose new social andecological challenges but also offer new opportunities. Various hypotheses will be entertained as to therelative importance of the various global drivers at catchment scale. The big question is: are we reallydealing with the most important issues? What is indeed the major driver that will determine how rivers
and lakes will be managed two generations from now? In case of transboundary water bodies, where
nearly half of humanity leaves, who calls the shots? How effective international cooperation is? Why do
we need that, to start with? Is sustainable water management an ethical and cultural issue or simple amatter of engineering by more structures? Isn’t water just a matter of quick technical fixes by applying
more technology? Is water a source of conflict or that of cooperation? Some of the potential responses
to these questions will be outlined along with an assessment of emerging research needs.

MANAGEMENT OF WATER CYCLE AND WATERRESOURCES OF A BASIN IN JAPANTsugihiro Watanabe

Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University
Appropriate development and management of water resources is the basis of life and production in abasin, and for that purpose sound conservation and management of hydrological cycle is required. Thisis a fundamental requirement for environmental conservation in a basin and related areas and coasts aswell as sustainable use of lake water resources in the basin.
In Japan, the "Basic Act on Water Cycle" was promulgated in 2014, which is a comprehensive andintegrated promotion of measures concerning water circulation, including groundwater, in order tomaintain and restore sound water circulation in the basin, further develop and stabilize economy
and society and people's lives. In the main river systems, the "risk management type" water resource

Kenya has been struggling with various water problems such as shortage of water, contamination of water sources and deteriorationof water environment. Of course, although the problems have been addressed not only in Kenya but also in other countries so far,many problems remain yet. If a practical solution for such problem will be obtained, the solution can be spread to other countries in
the world from Kenya. Hence, in LAVICORD (The Lake Victoria Comprehensive Research for Development) project, we focused on
the development of several appropriate technologies for safe water. The studies were performed at Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria.
At several beaches in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, we found cyanobacteria blooms. Therefore, first of all, we solved the cyanotoxin
microcystin contamination problem, because we elucidated the remarkable microcystin contamination in drinking water collected frombeach of Nyanza Gulf. Thus we installed Bio-fence system at Ogal beach, where highest contamination of microcystin was found, toproduce safe portable water. The installed bio-fence using charcoal could effectively remove microcystin from lake water. However, it
was significantly affected by the water level fluctuation of Lake Victoria. We should improve the system design of Bio-fence for practicaluse, because the strength of water level fluctuation recently became larger.

In the Sakuragawa River, which flows through Mito City, during the summer, the water environment has deteriorated due to increaseof domestic wastewater with urbanization, etc, such as the Lake Senbako and the branch river basin, and the target value is notsatisfactory even when various measures are being taken. In order to cope with this situation, the Kasumigaura Conveyance Projectis one of the measures of the Second Water Environment Reform and Rapid Transit Plan Sakuragawa Seiryu Renaissance II, whichaims to purify the water quality of Sakuragawa River, and Lake Senbako. In addition to those purification purposes, the Kasumigaura
Conveyance Project is purifying water in Lake Kasumigaura, and securing water for already-acquired water rights, and securing newly
developed urban water in the downstream of Nakagawa River and Tonegawa River, which areas connected by underground water

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) conducted a global-scale assessment of the status of five major types oftransboundary water systems (lakes; rivers; groundwater; large marine ecosystems; open oceans), ranking them in regard to the typeand magnitude of the threats facing them. The transboundary lakes component of this assessment was conducted by the International
Lake Environment Committee (ILEC). Using a modified global database comprised of 23 drainage basin drivers characterizing humanwater security and biodiversity threats, and considering selected threat ranking criteria, ILEC determined many transboundary lakes
and reservoirs in both developed and developing countries exhibited significant threats. However, when the ability of the basincountries to undertake programs to address water resource issues was considered, the transboundary lakes threat rankings changed
significantly. The context for interpreting the threat ranking results was especially important in considering the significance of the threat
rankings, a factor the user of the ranking scores would normally provide. The assessment also illustrated how the threat rankings
can be used to prioritize transboundary lakes requiring management interventions, based on the specific ranking criteria used in theassessment. A sensitivity analysis changing the relative magnitude of the threats also was conducted, again producing differing threat
rankings. The need to infuse Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM) within the context of the Water Resources Management (IWRM)
framework used in many countries also was discussed.

O2-4	SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURE OF THE STRATIFICATION IN LAKE BIWA BY
CHANGING METEOROLOGICAL ELEMENTS

Graduate school of Engineering, Osaka University
Climate change such as the change of air temperature and wind speed can affect the structure of the stratification in Lake Biwa. In
general, the rise in air temperature and the decrease in wind speed weaken the vertical mixing, and strengthen the structure of thestratification, which interrupts the transport of the substances. However, how the change of each climate element can influence thestructure of the stratification is not clarified. Therefore, it is important to distinguish the effect of each element on the stratificationand evaluate them quantitatively. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the increase or decrease in air temperature
and wind speed on the seasonal change of stratification in Lake Biwa by using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. Numericalsimulations were carried out for a baseline case using realistic meteorological data from 2007 to 2011 and experimental cases
using meteorological data with modified air temperature or wind speed for sensitivity analysis. The analysis showed that the riseand decrease in air temperature changed the vertical water distribution uniformly in almost all layers. As a result, the strength of thestratification hardly changed. The increase and decrease in wind speed, however, changed the structure of the stratification. The
increase in wind speed made the water parcels of the surface layer well mixed, and the decrease in wind speed made the mixed layer
and thermocline thinner.

O2-5	SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES IN EGYPT UNDER LIMITED AND THREATENEDWATER RESOURCES
Talaat Tahir El-Gamal
Water Management Research Institute - National Water Research Center
The water deficit that increases rapidly and the degradation of the irrigation network in Egypt resulted in serious irrigation problems
and in higher dependence on the drainage water at tail end regions. During last decades and due to the degradation of the drainage
water and the spread of the municipal water stations on the main canals, the strategy of the dependence on the drainage water haschanged. The reuse has started in Egypt through mixing the drainage water with the fresh water in the main canals (official reuse).
Currently, the trend changed to the direct dependence on the drainage water at the tail ends, where there is no municipal stations;either through lifting the drainage water to the tail ends of the branch canals (intermediate drainage reuse), or through direct use of
the drainage water by the farmers (unofficial drainage reuse). With the operation of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, the Egyptian
water resources will decrease, and this will have serious impact of the sustainability of agricultural sector. Currently, the per capita
share of water is around 600 m3/year. With the reduction of the irrigation water, the salinity of agricultural drainage water andthe concentration of sewage and industrial wastes that are dumped in the drainage network will increase. In the same time, thedependence on the drainage water will increase. The situation might be critical during the coming years unless a new strategy isdeveloped to enhance the quantitative and qualitative equity of water distribution and to ensure the sustainability

The Haor is a form of a back swamp, a bowl shaped shallow depression found in the north-east part of Bangladesh. Haor basin
the second most climate change vulnerable ecosystem in Bangladesh. The people gain their livelihoods from wetland and floodplain
resources. During monsoon, the whole area goes under water and there is no option in engaging earning activities except fishing. The
rainfall pattern of the basin has changed and first flash flood is around two week ahead comparing with last decade. While flooding
enhances floodplain fisheries, the early flashfloods, unique to this region, caused due to sudden onrush of rainwater from adjacentIndian Hills poses a high risk of damage to the standing crop just before harvesting. Data reveal that rainfalls in Meghalaya, India haveincrease in March and April that intensifies the severity of flashfloods. Submergible dykes to delay flashflood entry into crop fields is anaction from the government. The community is diversifying the cropping. Building resilience into both human and ecological systems isthe best possible way to deal with climate change risk. Climate response capacity and social acceptance build social and ecologicalresilience. The cross-sectoral multi-scale stakeholder engagement of the actors who influence or who are affected by the complex
human-ecosystem interactions is the way towards building the social acceptance in an ecosystem. The current paper is based on
observation of climate change impact and coping practices in the Haors of Moulvibazar and Sunamgang districts in the year 2017.

The results of estimation of the Russian Federation (RF) lake fund, carried out according to an original methodology involving modern
satellite information, are presented. According to the assessment, ~3,900,000 water bodies of various origins are identified within theRF, the water resources of the water bodies of natural origin are estimated at ~25,910 km3 of water, of which 91% is in Lake Baikal. In
the artificial water bodies the reserves of waters are about 890 km3. In spite of the huge lake water resources, their spatial distribution
is extremely uneven and is weakly coordinated with the location of the population and industrial and agricultural production. The
scarcity of water resources in the economically developed regions is usually overcome by the active construction of artificial reservoirs,
which, as the analysis shows, is often accompanied by a decrease in the areas of natural water bodies. Quantitative changes in thelake fund are still localized. At the same time, the downward trend in natural water bodies fund in the most developed parts of thecountry is quite clear and can be intensified by climate change.

Sungai Selangor Dam is among of seven dams in Selangor State together with ex-mining ponds located along Selangor River which
are gazetted as Protected Zone under Section 48, Selangor Water Management Authority (SWMA) Enactment 1999. Management of
the dam is inclusive of impounding water body and water catchment area to ensure the water resource security. Both dams and exmining ponds are functioning as water supply to the nearest Water Treatment Plant. Sungai Selangor Dam have been established in
the basin to regulate the river flow and ensure sufficient amount of water is available to all even during dry seasons. LUAS monitor thewater quality as well as water level and report regularly to the State of Selangor. Water resource from the ex-mining ponds are utilizedby pumping from the ponds to the Selangor River. The total capacity that can be abstracted from the ponds is 1,000 million litres perday (MLD). The utilization of the ponds has been proven to reduce the dependency on the release of water from Selangor River Dam
thus can increase the storage life of the dam. Weekly monitoring of the water quality from the ponds is also implemented to ensurethat the raw water quality meets the Malaysian National Raw Water Quality Standard. Other initiative undertaken by the SWMA is thecloud seeding operation over the catchment areas of the 7 dams in the state of Selangor inclusive of Selangor River Dam. The cloudseeding operation is conducted daily depending on the meteorological conditions to increase the possibility and intensity of rainfall
thus increasing the storage of the dams.

Lake Maninjau belongs to the type of volcanic lake in the form of caldera lake. Its eruption spouted 220-250 km3 of volcanic herb
spread over 75 km from the center of the eruption. This lake has a very small ratio of watershed and lake, where Maninjau watershedreaches 13,260 Ha and lake surface area 9,737.5 ha. Currently the water quality of the lake is decreasing due to the development offloating cage in the lake, but the change of land use in the catchment should also be considered, which can lead to changes in lakehydrological conditions. Based on classification on Landsat-8 Satellite image. Land use is dominated by agricultural area of 5,355.4 ha(37.8%); residential area of 216.9 ha (1.53%); forest area of 6,737 ha (47.4%); and the shrub and open area of 1,861 ha (13.1%). Landuse changes may impact the hydrological characteristic such as water yield, surface runoff and base flow. The purpose of this study is
to analyze the impact of land use changes on hydrological response in Lake Maninjau Catchment Area. SWAT hydrology model wasused to assess the impact of land use changes from 1991 to 2018. The analysis of land change shows a reduction of forest area by 2.2%,
1.1% agriculture and 0.3% settlement increase. The SWAT model simulation results under land use conditions 1991 and 2018 showed
the addition of surface runoff from 54 mm/year to 55 mm/year. While base flow is reduced from 406 mm/year to 334 mm/year.

The Importance of Lakes. Healthy lakes and their shores not only provide us with a number of environmental benefits, but they
influence our quality of life and they strengthen our economy. Lakes can also be used as a water supply for industry and an irrigation
source for agriculture. We can consider Lake as fresh water resource. All great civilization in the human history flourished alongsidelake or rivers. This was because of availability of fresh water easily for daily activities, and fertile land available for agriculture. India's
huge water resources have helped in sustaining the agricultural output necessary to support a huge population.

O2-11	EFFECT OF SOIL TYPE, SLOPE AND LAND USE CHANGE ON SEDIMENT LOAD INTONLE SAP LAKE BASINS
Michitaka Sato
Tokyo Institute of Technology
Environmental factors such as soil type, slope and land use type are considered to have significant impact on the sediment erosion
and production in the river basin. Understanding their effects on the sediment erosion and sedimentary process is crucially importantin sediment erosion management and control. These effects of environmental factors have not been investigated in distributed andquantitative manner in river basins in Southeast Asia. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of shifting of environmental factors
affecting sediment loads using a physical-based sediment model. A distributed hydrological model was coupled with a process-based
distributed model describing soil erosion and sedimentary processes at hillslope units and channels and applied in two rivers of the
Tonle Sap Lake basin located in Southeast Asia. The calibrated model was applied to assess the effect of soil type, slope, and changing
land use (2000-2014) on the sediment load. River basins which have just only one soil type or lower slope river basins tend to produce
higher sediment loads compared to some kinds of soil type or have a higher slope. Changing in land use, specifically forest cover,resulted in increase of sediment load in all rivers (about 15%). The findings were useful for soil and land use management, agricultural
practices and environmental management in the Tonle Sap Lake basin. The findings are also, in many cases, be likely extended toother river basins around the world which have similar environmental conditions or serve as useful cases for comparison with different
environmental conditions.

AND TREATMENT FACILITIES IN THE WESTERN PART OF METROPOLITAN MANILA,

Benjamin Villa
Maynilad Water Services, Inc.
From the recent years, the Philippines already experienced the effects of climate change such as facing numerous typhoons withrecord-breaking amounts of rainfall and severe drought in some areas. However, direct impacts of climate change to the major surface
water resources, specifically in the country’s capital city, are seldom being discussed. Hence, this proposal will talk about the current
scenarios of Metro Manila’s two major water sources, Angat Dam and Laguna Lake, and how climate change will affect the water
quality as well as the current setups of water treatment facilities. Currently, Maynilad, the company tasked to deliver water in thewestern part of Metropolitan, Philippines, is investing an estimated amount of at least USD 135M to provide safe and potable waterto over 9 million customers. Upgradation of plants requires both minor and major changes on its treatment processes. Some of thesolutions are specific to the process train that would directly treat a certain parameter that was considered in the design but has
to be updated due to the effects of climate change. These water quality parameters include turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS),
manganese (Mn), taste-and-odor (T&O) and total dissolved solids (TDS), among others. Previous actions to lessen the effects of climatechange were quite successful. But since climate change seemed to be “normal” globally, Maynilad opted to address the challengethrough long-term solutions.

Lakes and rivers of the world are subjected to multiple and simultaneous environmental changes.
How these changes have already affected the greenhouse gas footprint of lakes is largely unknown
and even less can be predicted for the future. In this paper, we will use intermediate climate change
scenarios from the IPCC as well as projected human population growth to assess their likely combined
effects of GHG emissions. For the Asia-Oceania region, our simulations suggest that inland waters will
respond to these environmental pressures with substantial increases in GHG emissions, in particular formethane (about 60%). The role of lakes on the global C cycle is therefore changing and constitute an
additional source of GHG to the atmosphere.

We have clarified the presence of a unique microbial loop in the hypolimnion of Lake Biwa, thelargest freshwater lake in Japan. In the epilimnion of the lake, phytoplankton biomass is produced
through primary production, followed by sinking into the hypolimnion. In the hypolimnion, a part ofthe phytoplankton biomass is converted into and released as humic-like DOM through decompositionby planktonic bacteria. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed that bacterial clade, CL50011 (phylum Chloroflexi ), predominated in the hypolimnion. We made further analyses on prokaryotic
community composition by high throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing which showed thedominance by members of Planctomycetes exclusively occurred in the hypolimnion. In addition, FISH
on eukaryotes showed that bacterivorous kinetoplastid flagellates are the dominant eukaryotes in thehypolimnion. So, the results suggest the presence of a unique microbial loop in the hypolimnion of
Lake Biwa, where humic-like DOM is produced by the hypolimnion bacterial assemblages, and thosebacteria are grazed by the dominant kinetoplastids and other hypolimnion dwelling bacterivorous
protists. The water quality of Lake Biwa has been improved during the last 40 years. However, chemical
oxygen demand (CODMn) in the lake has been gradually increasing every year. In the present talk, wewill introduce the hypolimnion microbial loop, with special reference to long-term increase in CODMn ofthe lake.

A large number of reservoirs in Korea have experienced severe deterioration of water quality due to eutrophication. The problems
include (1) inflow of pollutants, (2) occurrence of algal blooms, (3) increased oxygen consumption and anaerobic condition near thebottom, and (4) elution of nutrients from the sediments. As more than 90% of reservoirs in Korea have average water depth less than
5 m, we need appropriate technologies coping with these situations. A non-powered water circulation system has been developed to
improve water quality of reservoirs by inducing the descent flow of surface water using natural wind and wind-driven current. One of
the functions of the system is to break thermal stratification and anaerobic condition near the bottom. Test-beds have been installed
and operated at 2 reservoirs and monitored more than 1 year. The results have showed clearly that 1) continuous improvement ofanoxic condition at deep layer (hypolimnion), 2) mitigation of DO supersaturation and 3) prevention of excessive increase of pH atsurface layer (epilimnion).

Eutrophication, harmful algal blooms (HABs), and internal sediment release of nutrients represent increasing problems for publichealth, ecological restoration, and water quality worldwide. Modified Local Soil (MLS) materials are cost-effective in removing HABs atvery large scale (Pan et al, Environ. Pollut. 2006, 141, 195; Environ. Pollut. 2006, 141, 201; Environ.

Water Research, 2016, 97, 11; Water Research, 2016, 97, 19). MLS capping technology can reduce the release of nutrients or algae
toxins from sediment and turn algal cells and the excessive nutrients in-situ into fertilizers for submerged machrophyte restoration inshallow water systems (Pan et al, Ecol. Eng. 2011, 37, 302; Environ. Sci. Technol. 2012, 46, 5077; Environ. Sci. Technol. 2015, 49, 426).
MLS is also tested for manipulating nutrient limitation in natural water bodies (Pan et al., Water Research, 2016, 101, 25). Here, wereport that surface oxygen nanobubbles can be loaded in MLS for effective and long-term remediation of sediment anoxia or hypoxia
in deep water system (Pan et al, Sci Total Environ. 2018, in press). Combined with integrated management of external loads control,
MLS technology can be used as environmentally friendly geo-engineering materials (Pan et al, Water Research, 2016, 97, 133; Environ.

In closed eutrophic water areas such as lakes and marshes, the development of a surface bloom dominated by cyanobacteria causes
water quality problems, such as deterioration of landscape, offensive odor, etc. Therefore, the effective and economical measures forwater quality improvement are required for these problems. Regarding to this issue in japan, the advanced environmental technologies
which have been considered to be effective in order to solve this issue have already been commercialized by such a venture company.
However, these technologies have not been utilized at the place where an environmental problem exists because the object
evaluation about the environmental preservation effect has not been informed end users such as local governments, companies,and consumers. The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program helps to facilitate the use of advanced environmental
technologies. The third-parties which are neither the developers nor user of the said technologies objectively verify the environmental
conservation effects of them in order to provide credible data for the end users. We have evaluated whether or not reasonable
selection of experimental fields and evaluation methods for water purification technology are economic and fair. As an example of theETV program, this paper reports the evaluation of water purification technologies for lakes and reservoirs field.

Algal bloom is a big problem that happens in lakes and reservoirs. Algal bloom is caused by blue-green algae and cyanobacteria
increased and accumulated on the water surface. Blue-green algae thrive in warm, nutrient-rich water conditions in lakes, reservoirs
with long retention times. The reason why blue-green algae become a problem is that: odors can be generated and leads to landscapedeterioration at the time of decomposition. In addition, it can be harmful to livestock and human health due to its liver poison. Thereis the drastic countermeasures in Japan, like water conduction which means using the river water and reclaimed wastewater to flush
water bodies that suffered from algae bloom. The purpose of this study is to propose a method to simply define the safest required
volume of water in order to prevent blue-green algae from growing by flushing out them. We know that we can tell whether the bluegreen algae will die out or not by comparing the algae’s growth rate and the rotation rate. In other words, it is better to conduct water
more quickly than the growth rate of blue-green algae. Then, we evaluated the applicability of this method by culture experiment
about the blue-green algae.

The Lake Sentarum in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, refers to a complex of large and small floodplain lakes in the middle part of theKapuas River system. Apart from its great ecological and economic importance, the Sentarum lakes complex and its catchment area
are generally threatened by deforestation, fire, monoculture agroindustry, and pollution. The objective of this research is to establish
the hydrological characteristics of the Sentarum lakes area and to reveal the dynamics of aquatic habitat resulted from changing waterlevels. The water level was measured using a pressure sensor, while rainfall data were obtained from the data portal of the TropicalRainfall Measuring Mission. Inundation monitoring was carried out using a time-lapse camera. A hydrological model is used to simulate
water levels beyond measurement period. Water quality and fish sampling were carried out representing the seasons. Vegetation
observation was carried out by field observation as well as analysis using satellite images. Water level records show that the Sentarum
floodplain lakes have two peaks of inundation period following the bimodal pattern of rainfall in the equatorial Kapuas catchment. Thiswater level dynamics induced changes in water quality, nutrient availability, vegetation cover, and fish diversity found in the Sentarumlakes area. Despite its seasonal changes, water quality of Sentarum lakes is generally good and suitable for aquatic biota. The fish
diversity of the Sentarum lakes is relatively higher during high water period.

In general, tropical lake in Indonesia is one of the unique ecosystems which are functioning in both ecological and economic
services. The objective of this study is to analyze the dissolved oxygen profile of caldera tropical lake represented by Lake Maninjau
at West Sumatera, Indonesia and its impact. Lake Maninjau, not only for fisheries culture, but also serves as important hydroelectricity
power. Surveys at Lake Maninjau was conducted in August 2006, March 2014, September 2017 and April 2018. The results on thesurvey in Lake Maninjau showed that the average depth is 105 m. It covers 13,260 ha of area with a height of 461.5 m above sea
level and maximum depth of 165 m. The lake water comes from rainfall, small rivers and the surrounding ground water and one
outflow in Batang Antokan River. Based on the measurement results, it obtained that dissolved oxygen from the surface layer to adepth of 40 m (2006) has decreased to a depth of 12 m (2018), indicating the worse condition of water quality in 2018 comparedwith previous years. Currently, bad water quality and mass mortality fishes often occurred. Next, the percentage value of fish cages at
Lake Maninjau in 2017 was 0.43%. Besides human activities, it suggested also that the potential impact from fish cages constributed
pollutant concentration into this lakes. In order to maintain the sustainability of the lake, basic ecological information is necessary forthe next study.

Subaqueous borrow pits are known to be sites of low dissolved oxygen concentration accompanied by phosphorus release,
due to poor water exchange with the surrounding (better quality) water. Lake Kasumigaura has many subaqueous borrow pits left
over from past gravel extraction, particularly in Lake Sotonasakaura, located in the southeastern part of Lake Kasumigaura, wherelarge, subaqueous borrow pits were found. These pits have not been investigated to date and the authors therefore investigatedtheir thermocline and water quality. In the selected research pit, a cycle of formation and break-up of thermocline was found, withthermocline break-up mainly occurring coincident with periods of cooler air temperature and strong wind. In addition, it was confirmedthat when the thermocline formed, the dissolved oxygen concentration decreased at depth and PO4-P exhibited raised values.

In order to get insight into the impact of dam construction on silicon distribution pattern due to the altered hydraulic andenvironmental conditions, the Xiangxi River was chose as the delegate of the tributaries in the Three Gorges Reservoir to screen
the effects of the Three Gorges Dam on silicon distribution. Dissolved silica (DSi), biogenic silica (BSi) and lithogenic silica (LSi)were investigated monthly from November 2015 to October 2016, the hydrodynamic conditions were addressed synchronously.
DSi was significantly lower in the wet season than the dry season, BSi and LSi were significantly higher in the wet season than thedry season. DSi was dominant component in the total silicon (>90%) and it has a relatively higher concentration in the upstream
than the downstream in the main channel. BSi was higher in the upstream than the downstream. LSi was significantly higher in theupper tributaries than the main channel. Statistical analysis showed that DSi was linearly negatively correlated with water discharge.
BSi concentration showed a negative correlation with DSi. Water velocity and discharge exhibited a positive correlation with LSi
concentration. DSi had a negative correlation with Chl a while BSi had a positive correlation with Chla. The backwater area retained
2.59% bioavailable silicon (DSi + BSi). It was concluded spatio-temporal heterogeneity of silicon distribution related to hydrodynamics
was determined by the regulation of dam, backwater area was the main deposition area for silicon.

1Primary producers are generally carbon sources for consumers in a lake food web. However, some traits of cyanobacteria, suchas floc formation and toxin production prevent primary consumers from feeding on cyanobacteria. In this study, dietary utilization of
cyanobacteria by fish was examined in a shallow eutrophic lake, Lake Hachiro where nuisance algal bloom occur in every summer.
Monthly sampling was conducted to collect fish and lake water from June to November, 2016. Fatty acid compositions of thesesamples were analyzed. In July, abundance of cyanobacteria started to increase, and cyanobacterial blooms were observed from
August to October. From June to August, low level contribution of cyanobacterial fatty acid biomarkers (18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3) in thesefish species was observed. This result indicate a low contribution of cyanobacteria to the diet during this time period. However,the contribution of cyanobacterial fatty acid biomarkers in these fishes increased in September, indicating these fish started to use
cyanobacteria as dietary sources. These results imply continuous occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms may induce fish to utilize
cyanobacteria as dietary sources in a eutrophic lake.

Cyanobacteria have been considered an inadequate food source due to a lack of vital nutrients, toxin production, and floc formation.
This may interrupt carbon transfer to higher trophic level animals, including fishes. In this study, to elucidate the contribution of
cyanobacteria for benthic animals in Taihu, we examined cyanobacterial carbon transfer in a eutrophic lake by using a fatty acidbiomarker, stable carbon isotope ratios of fatty acid, and stable isotope ratios of bulk nitrogen. Terrestrial plant and animals (benthic
animals, primary consumer) were collected via in July, from Lake Taihu, China. Combined dual stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) andfatty acid biomarkers, the results revealed that there were only subtle differences in the diets of benthic and pelagic animals andcyanobacteria were their main food source. Concomitantly, results of δ13C of bacteria-specific fatty acids demonstrated that bacteria
equally and profoundly affected organics accumulation or preservation in the sediments, because they preferentially utilized labile
cyanobacteria as their carbon source instead of terrestrial plants (>95% within these two sources). Consequently, these novel findings
clarify that not only in deep lakes, but also shallow eutrophic ones, the extensive losses of autochthonous organic matter can be
expected during sedimentation coupling with the dramatical modifications of biogeochemical processes

Water quality has declined in acidotrophic Lake Inawashiro, where neutralization of pH has progressed in recent years, suggesting an
increasing trend in primary production. In previous studies, changes in populations of aquatic weeds or phytoplankton were surveyed
in limited areas. This study aimed to survey changes in phytoplankton and aquatic weeds corresponding to neutralization in pH overthe entire lake. In all areas of Lake Inawashiro, the average annual values for pH increased in recent years, while the values for T-P
increased in the northern and southern areas. These changes in environmental factors affected phytoplankton density and community
composition in the entire area. On the other hand, factors other than pH may affect the distribution of aquatic weed.

In past summers, Microcystis spp. bloomed at Lake Kasumigaura, especially in Tsuchiurairi Bay with its limited circulation. Ibaraki
Prefecture has taken several measures to address Microcystis blooms, however they need a predictive model to help them develop
causal treatments. First, the authors measured the volume, distribution, and seasonal variation of Microcystis in sediments from
Tsuchiurairi Bay, using real-time PCR. The authors then constructed an ecosystem simulation model to examine the relationship ofthese data to Microcystis blooms. Results suggested that Microcystis cell recruitment occurred in early June in Tsuchiurairi Bay, however
the results also suggested that cell transportation processes played a greater role in Microcystis blooms than the cell recruitment
process. The authors then constructed a hybrid model that combined the ecosystem simulation model with the deep learning modelof Convolutional Neural Network and applied a Variational Auto-Encoder system. The results calculated by this hybrid model forecast
accurately for phycocyanin at several sampling stations in Tsuchiurairi Bay, and the authors contend that these initial results indicate
there is a good possibility of using this hybrid model for forecasting Microcystis blooms at Tsuchiurairi Bay, Lake Kasumigaura.

Global warming and eutrophication are predicted to promote cyanobacterial blooms but how tropical phytoplankton from different
trophic state systems respond to temperature is less known. To explore the effect of temperature changes and nutrient addition on
phytoplankton and to verify possible resistance to these effects, we conducted an experiment with phytoplankton from two aquatic
ecosystems differing in trophic state. Water samples from a eutrophic and an oligo-mesotrophic systems were collected and incubatedin 25 and 30ºC. Treatments that received a surplus of N and P were included as eutrophication treatments. Temperature variation
itself did not promote cyanobacteria growth in either water from the oligo-mesotrophic or the eutrophic system. However, nutrient
enrichment of water from the eutrophic system significantly boosted cyanobacteria, and biomass increased 10 times in both 25ºC and
30ºC treatments. In contrast, eutrophication of water from the oligo-mesotrophic system did not change the relative contribution ofphytoplankton groups and response ratios were much lower than those from eutrophic water. Although using a simple experimental
design, the results suggest that in eutrophic systems cyanobacteria dominance can be favored by further addition of nutrients,
independently of a direct temperature effect and that more pristine environments possess some resistance against eutrophication.
Since global warming is assumed to intensify eutrophication indirectly, our study underscores the importance of nutrient control

Microcystin species (MCs) produced by toxic cyanobacteria has become a serious problem in the world. Up until the present, it
has been focused on MCs degradation in freshwater bodies only, although all lakes and ponds connect to the sea. Therefore, the aimof this study was to estimate the behavior of MCs discharged from freshwater bodies to sea such as the degradation, through thedegradation of MC-LR in surface-water combined with sediment collected from the Isahaya new pond and the Isahaya bay as a modelfor effluent source and discharged estuary. The result showed that no MCs have accumulated long-term in surface water and sedimentof the Isahaya new pond as an effluent source to the Isahaya bay. Moreover, these both areas have a potential of a degradation of
MC-LR lower than 0.01 µg・l-1 for 17 days at 30 ℃ and 21 days at 20 ℃ . Interestingly, a sea water component had no effect. As aresult of bacterial isolation, the decrease of concentration was probably caused by the degradation bacteria. These results supportsthat no MCs accumulate in the Isahaya new pond and the Isahaya bay, and thus it was strongly suggested no MCs was concentrated
biologically into the aquatic organism via benthos. These results will contribute to the estimation of MCs behavior in sediment of thelake and estuary such as Lake Kasumigaura.

Cyanobacterial blooms can be harmful to environmental and human health due to the production of toxic secondary metabolites,
known as cyanotoxins. In the present study, we examined the effects of environmental parameters on cyanobacterial community
structure and MCs concentrations in the Dau Tieng reservoir (DTR), a tropical, eutrophic water body in Southern Vietnam.
Cyanobacterial biomass and MCs contents were monitored monthly from March 2012 to February 2013, when MCs were present in
the DTR. The highest concentrations of intracellular MCs were found in September and February when cyanobacteria biomass reachedmaximum values, with 2.50 and 2.13 µg/L, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that MCs concentration was positively correlatedwith the biomass of the cyanobacterial order Chroococcales, whereas total phosphorus (TP) was the primary abiotic factor influencing
cyanobacterial biomass and MCs concentrations in the DTR.

Water quality remains a major driver in lake ecosystem functioning. Illustrating these are limnological studies that in the tropics
started in the second half of twentieth century. As it advances, interrelation and combination of physical, chemical and biologicalparameters in East Africa lakes started. The works centred on Lake Albert then Victoria shared between Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Uganda astride the equator is 18% covered by other lakes, rivers and wetlands besides Albert and Victoria. Three of these major
lakes are Edward, George and Kyoga plus many crater lakes, small lakes and rivers. Among the five major lakes, Lake George wasintensively studied in 1970 unlike lakes Edward and Mburo despite their equal water resources socio-economic development andvalue in supporting wildlife and conservation. We assessed the status of Lakes George; Mburo and Edward describing their physicochemical, biological and environmental variables standard methods from May 2007 to April 2008. In conclusion, the factors that have
driven changes in the other lakes: high nutrient concentration; high phytoplankton biomass dominated by harmful algal bloom unlike
the current high pristine shallow lake ecosystem in Europe and America are discussed. Four decades later Lake George limnologicalconditions remained stable providing an insight of alternative states of tropical shallow lakes.

The population dynamics of effective bacteria (cyanobactericidal bacteria and growth inhibiting bacteria) against the nuisancecyanobacterium Dolichospermum crassum were investigated at two habitats, the surface water of a reservoir and the waterweed zone
(containing Potamogeton malayanus Miq.) of Lake Biwa. The number of effective bacteria associated with P. malayanus in the lake water inthe waterweed zone greatly exceeded the number in the reservoir where algal blooms frequently occur. Trichomes of D. crassum wererapidly destroyed by effective bacteria when they were co-incubated with a biofilm from P. malayanus or water from the waterweed
zone of Lake Biwa. The effects of other predators and chemicals were negligible, and it is concluded that waterweed beds play asignificant role in preventing D. crassum blooms as providers of effective bacteria. Possible control of D. crassum blooms was discussed
in relation to effective bacteria as feasible prevention strategies for the nuisance cyanobacterial blooms in water environments.

catchment having Indian Institute of Technology and Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
Powai Lake is one of the best studied freshwater ecosystems in this region and a good record of its water quality over a periodof time is available. Relatively higher values of dissolved solids, nitrates and phosphates as well as COD and BOD and primary
productivity along with significant decrease in transparency in Powai lake indicates hyper eutrophic conditions. This is further
corroborated with symptoms such as foul odors, prolific growth of water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipus ) and blooms of blue green algae(Microcystis sp .) with recurrence of mass mortality of fish species.If appropriate measures are taken, the lake can be revived for future

Methane constitutes a minor part in entire greenhouses emission, nevertheless its global warming potential is 20-30 times higher
than carbon dioxide. Moreover, methane production and emission increases with eutrophication, and it has been demonstrated toserve as a carbon source for pelagic food webs. The methane oxidising bacteria (MOB) are the only group, which is able to utilize
methane, as their sole source of carbon and energy and make a link between methane producers and higher food chain levels.
However, the environmental controls of this alternative carbon source for plankton community in lakes with different trophic statuses
are still poorly understood. Here we evaluated differences in fluxes of CH4 and its potential as a carbon source for zooplankton
in relation to the trophy state of two lakes. For this purpose two morphologically similar lakes with different trophy levels were
investigated to determine methane efflux as well as zooplankton community structure and carbon stable isotope ratios in order todetermine sources (13C/12C). The results revealed that C-CH4 is incorporated into zooplankton through MOB community. Based onliterature C-CH4 has lower share of total carbon built into zooplankton in environments with higher trophy. However, our result showedthat this process is more sophisticated and depends on food selectivity and vertical distribution of zooplankton members.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the greenhouse gas known to be the main driving factor of global warming; however, the role of thecoastal ecosystem on global CO2 fluxes remains unclear due to lack of adequate data. With an objective to bridge this knowledge
gap, an estimation of CO2 flux was made analyzing the 19 years data (1999-2018) from 30 sampling locations covering entire Chilika
Lake, India. ANOVA test revealed a significant variation of CO2 flux with respect to regions as well as seasons. The overall positive
value of CO2 flux indicates Chilika Lake acts as a source of CO2 to the atmosphere. The northern region (NR) recorded highest releaseof CO2, followed by the inlet (IR), central (CR) and southern region (SR). A significant relationship between apparent oxygen utilization(AOU) and excess DIC (dissolved inorganic carbon) in the NR indicates biological respiration is the major factor for rapid ventilationof CO2 to the atmosphere. The sink of CO2 and minimal C source in the SR could be attributed to the presence of seagrass bed anddominate primary productivity. The C estimation from this long-term data set (8.27x10 -6 PgC Y-1) indicates, Chilika contributes ~0.0019%C to global C emission to the atmosphere. The trend obtained through 19 years of monthly data indicated a significant annual
increase of p CO2 (µatm) and CO2 flux (mmol m-2d-1) which are 1.57 & 0.048 respectively. At the same time, a significant decrease in pH@ 0.0006/year was observed which supports the phenomena

Regime shift analysis is one of the way of time series analysis. In regime shift analysis, we are detecting the existence and the timingof “regime shift” that is defined by “abrupt and rapid transition between different states that continue for much longer periods”. Somechanges in lake ecosystems are recognized as “Regime shifts”. When there are the close relationships between environmental factors
and the parameters, we could expect the good correspondence between the regime shift timings of factors and parameters. Basedon this idea, we conducted regime shift analysis on the data set from meteorological to lake environmental parameters. Some of theregime shift found in the biological and chemical parameters of Lake Kasumigaura well corresponded to the highly turbid periods fromlatter half of ’90s to the first half of ’00s.

1983, when the investigation into bottom layer (200m) started.
The average temperature difference between the surface and the bottom was less than or equal to 0.2 ℃ when the verticalcirculation was recognized, and it seems that one of its factors is the temperature in January and February, and the temperature in

Lake Kasumigaura, Teganuma and Inbanuma are lakes located in an area with the same meteorological conditions, total catchment
areas are with a radius about 30 km2. Lake Kasumigaura is a symbol of Tsuchiura City, the second largest lake in Japan. On the other

is used as drinking water in Lake Inbanuma and important water resource for people. Although they are independent lakes, andexternal factors are influenced to fluctuations COD, but the annual values of COD are similar to over the years. Therefore, in this study,
we analyzed COD fluctuation for Lake Kasumigaura and Teganuma that have 1-hour COD data. As a result, clear variations in COD
fluctuations are found, indicating that the COD is fluctuating due to external factors. It is necessary to consider the fluctuation of COD

COD is an environmental quality standard in rivers and lakes, and has played a significant role in water pollution prevention, but it
is subject to rethink conventional wisdom. In this study, we compared COD and TOC data from the monitoring survey of Shiga Pref. in
Lake Biwa. As a result, we confirmed that the COD values of lake water have no difficulty to detect pollution level of organic matter,but they have a problem as the indicator of absolute amount of organic matter. As the organic pollution of river and lake waters has
reduced owing to the prevention of pollution load from the watershed, the internal production of lakes is major source of organic
matter. For future measures of lake conservation, we should comprehend the mass balance of ecosystems in order to elucidate theabove-mentioned problems including the problem of ecological weakening, such as increase of invasive fishes, overgrowth of aquaticplants, remarkable decrease of native fishes and bivalves.

The water quality of lakes is lower than that of rivers and oceans. One cause of this disparity is the relatively high internal loadingof pollutants, including organic matter , that may be accumulated in the sediment. In order to develop useful technologies to reduce
pollution in lake sediments , this research sought to clarify the mechanisms by which organic matter accumulates in sediments.
Based on the hypothesis that flow regulates the total amount of organic matter in lake sediments through weathering, sedimentation,and resuspension, we simulated the amount of organic matter accumulation in sediments. From this simulation, we investigated thepossibility that technologies capable of controlling flow may improve sediment quality. Our results suggest that the accumulation oforganic matter in lake sediments is dominated by flow.

Information pertaining to temporal and spatial variations in nutrients concentrations in the surface sediments of the Songkhla Lagoon
system is limited. Therefore this study aimed to examine the proportion of silt and clay and total carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous
concentrations in the surface sediments from the windward and leeward sites of Thale Sap and Thale Sap Songkhla in the Songkhla
Lagoon system between August 2017 and March 2018. Samples taken from leeward shores exhibited significantly higher proportionof silt and clay. The sediments of Thale Sap were characterized by higher concentrations of carbon and nitrogen, owing to thecolonization of aquatic macrophytes within this lake. The phosphorous concentrations were relatively high in the sediments of Thale
Sap Songkhla, owing to the proximity of this lake to discharge sources such as urbanization, industries, and human settlements. The
sediments of Thale Sap had a relatively higher molar C:N:P ratios (437:43:1) than that of the sediments of Thale Sap Songkhla (233:23:1).

The present study carried out the temporal characteristics and variation of phytoplankton diversity, composition and their abundancewith water quality using statistical techniques in Lake Paldang, South Korea. A total of 91 species of phytoplankton were identified
from the Lake Paldang in 2016, belonging to 6 functional groups i.e., Chlorophyta(35 species), Bacillariophyta(34), Cyanophyta(11),Ochrophyta(5), Cryptophyta(4), and Miozoa(2). Throughout the study period, the occurrence of most dominant species was observed
from Bacillariophyta(Stephanodiscus hantzschii and Cyclotella atomus). The performed statistical analysis on phytoplankton species,
the evenness and Shannon-wiener diversity index were found to be higher in winter than those of spring. PCA applied to compare
the compositional patterns among the analyzed water samples, identified and four factors accounting for almost 84.4% of the total
variation representing water compound concentration are mainly related to point and non-point source as well as natural process. We
therefore suggest wise management of anthropogenic activities in the catchment of Lake Paldang and their tributaries.

Bisphenol A (BPA) and relevant chemicals such as bisphenol F (BPF) are industrially important chemicals. However, these chemicals
are also known to possess endocrine disrupting activity and thus recognized as important hazardous pollutants that may pose negative
impact on aquatic ecosystem. Toward understanding the behaviors of BPs in the aquatic environment, this study investigated the fatesof BPA and BPF in the presence of Phragmites australis , which is used as the model aquatic plant because it distributes world widelyin lakes and wetlands and is known to possess water purification and ecological conservation abilities. BPs degradation experiments
conducted in this study found the accelerated removal of BPA and BPF, especially BPA, in the co-existence of bacteria and P. australis
compared with in the absence of the plant. Microbial community analysis also revealed the enrichment of specific bacteria, which may
contribute to the degradation of BPA and BPF, and the increase of bacterial diversity in the rhizosphere of P. australis. The results of thisstudy suggested that the existence of P. australis may play a significant role in the degradation of BPA and relevant chemicals and theconservation of microbial diversity in the presence of those hazardous pollutants in the aquatic environment.

The determination of chelators in environmental samples is an analytical challenge due to their structural similarities andpresence of low concentrations. We report a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of both the non-biodegradable(ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA; N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N ,N ',N '-triaceticacid, EDTA-OH) and biodegradable(ethylenediamine-N ,N '-disuccinic acid, EDDS) chelators as their corresponding CuII-complexes in the aqueous matrices. An ultraperformance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used. Chromatographic separation was
performed using a UPLC HILIC amide column. Sample preparation is easy without pre-treatment steps. Limit of detection was 0.004
2µmolL-1 (EDTA), 0.007 µmolL-1 (EDTAOH) and 0.008 µmolL-1 (EDDS). The coefficient of determination (R ) was 0.999 for the chelatorswith repeatability of £3%. The developed method was successfully applied to the measurement of chelator concentration in lake water
samples.

continent. Phosphorus sorption and desorption process can able to predict the status of phosphorus as the source or sink for coastallagoon ecosystems. A very few studies on this aspect has been standardized for coastal lagoon in the south Asian continent. The
sorption-desorption processes standardize in the laboratory maintaining the same environmental condition of the lagoon, Chilika.
The effects of major water quality parameters like salinity, pH and temperature on phosphorus sorption on sediments were studied
for the outer channel (OC), northern sector (NS) and southern sector (SS) in the lagoon, Chilika. The lagoon sediment for phosphorus
sorption could be better assigned by the modified Langmuir model than by the modified Freundlich model. Effect of salinity, pH, andtemperature on phosphorus sorption could be better understood by a binomial equation. The rate of phosphorus sorption increases
with increasing salinity, pH, and temperature at low ranges. Whereas it decreases in excess of threshold values. The maximum
phosphorus sorption capacity (Qmax) was more for NS sediments (258 mg/kg) compared with OC (219 mg/kg) and SS sediments (237mg/kg) (p < 0.05). The percentage of phosphorus desorption (Pdes) in the NS sediments (8.5-64.5%) was much lower than those in OC(29.7-126.9%) and SS sediments (21-109.5%). This study can able to help wetland manager to control eutrophication status of thelagoon by immediate effect of increasing P sorption through freshwater restoration.

O3-32	CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PHOTOCHEMICAL RELEASE OF PHOSPHATE FROMRESUSPENDED SEDIMENTS UNDER SOLAR IRRADIATION
Xiaolu Li
Huazhong Agricultural University
In previous studies, resuspended sediments that were exposed to simulated solar irradiation could release dissolved phosphate(PO43 － ). However, the mechanisms of phosphate release remain unclear. In this research, a battery of experiments was performed toreveal the mechanisms of the photochemical release of phosphate from resuspended sediments of a shallow eutrophic lake undersolar irradiation. The results show that the PO4 3 － released in resuspended sediments was significantly higher than that in the dark
control or in water alone after treatment with solar irradiation for 6 h. The results of sequential chemical extractions showed that theconcentrations of labile organic, moderately labile organic and residual organic phosphorus decreased in the resuspended sediment
after 6 h of solar irradiation; of these, moderately labile organic phosphorus was the greatest contributor to the release of dissolved
phosphate in resuspended sediment. Orthophosphate, phosphate monoesters, phosphate diesters and pyrophosphate were detectedwith 31P-NMR. It is worth mentioning that the diester- P and pyro-P species disappeared after 6 h of irradiation. All of these results
suggest that photochemical processes may lead to PO43 － release from sediment in aquatic environments. Moreover, the content ofphotochemical release of PO43 － increased with the increasing of suspension concentration within a certain concentration range andthe photochemical release of PO43 － has significant spectral sensitivity.

Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) in lower Mekong River Basin and also is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia at the end of the wet
season. The water quality and decline in biological resources have been raised regarding the degradation of water quality in Tonle Sap
Lake. The study aimed to study variability in water quality in the large shallow lake scale at temporal and spatial scale; and to better
understand the state of water quality in this largest Southeast Asia shallow lake. The presented study was based on surface water
quality collected from cross-section of Tonle Sap Lake covering a maximum of 37 sampling stations during December 2016 and June2017 corresponding to receding and rising stage of lake volume, respectively. Variation of water depth was high between December
and June (on average 2.7 m in June and 4.7 m in December) and caused high variability for TSS (170 mg/l in June and 7 mg/l in
December). However, low variability of rising and receding stage had been detected for DO. Based on information obtained from thisstudy, it provided the information regarding the spatio-temporal water quality in various layers to understand the state of water quality
in TSL. Additionally, the integration of process-based information with interpolation maps could support the further study of priorsampling points or monitoring program.

Water sources in the Cambodia are being contaminated by the untreated wastewater discharge from the city; however, thebiological water quality data is scarce in the region. We investigate the presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli ), coliform and its gene(uidA ) in Mekong river, Tonle Sap river and Tonle Sap lake since this environmental water was affected by domestic wastewater.
Concentration of E. coli and coliform in Tonle Sap river were higher than those in Tonle Sap lake and Mekong river. E. coli concentrationin Tonle Sap river is about 10 times higher than in Tonle Sap lake and about 100 times higher than in Mekong river. The uidA gene
was identified in Tonle Sap river almost every month from March to December 2017 while uidA was identified in Mekong river only
from March to May 2017. The results from this study demonstrated that the main water sources in the country such as Tonle Sap
lake, Tonle Sap river and Mekong river are under the pressure of fecal contaminated source. The untreated wastewater from the city,which may contain high concentration of virulent microorganisms, was discharged into the water body in daily basis. The constructionof wastewater treatment plant in the country is necessary for removal of unwanted substances or microbes for improving the water
source quality and for sustainable development.

The freshwater ecosystem has been depleted gradually by human activities along the rivers including the waste disposal, which willcontaminate water ecosystem, and uncontrolled widely antibiotic use in aquacultural purpose. Fecal contamination and the presenceof antibiotic-resistant bacteria can cause serious problems to people living along the lake and rivers. Therefore, this study aims toinvestigate the survival of Escherichia coli K12 using dialysis membrane and to detect the antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ABR) in Tonle
Sap River (TSR), Mekong River (MR) and Basac River (BR). The physiochemical and microbiological characteristics of waters in these 3
sites were analyzed. Moreover, control (E. coli K12/PBS) and sample (E. coli K12/River water) conditions were placed on the surface of
TSR, MR and BR and the survival of E. coli K12 was observed for 12 days. In addition, six antibiotics including ampicillin, meropenem,
ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, kanamycin and tetracycline were used to detect the antibiotic-resistant bacteria in these 3 sites. As theresult, physiochemical characteristics slightly affect the survival of E. coli K12 as the turbidity was higher which could block sunlight toget through the waters. Moreover, it was found that E. coli K12 could survive only 8 days in TSR and they continued to survive until day
10 and died out in day 12 in MR and BR. The detection of ARB showed that high numbers of bacteria ranging from 3 × 102 to 2.31 ×
104 CFU/mL were resistant to all antibiotics used. Among these 3 sites, ARB were detected in high amount in TSR.

Assessment of seasonal changes in surface water quality is an important aspect for evaluating temporal variations of river pollution
due to natural or resulting from inputs of point and non-point sources. In this study, the total of 16 surface water quality parameters
was collected from 1995 to 2010 at the Kampong Loung, the Southern part of the largest freshwater source in South East Asia, Tonle
Sap Lake by MoWRAM. Hierarchical agglomerative clustering technic was applied to assess classification of the data. The trend
analysis was done using the Mann-Kandall and Sen's slop estimator based on cluster and monthly average from 1995 to 2010. The
analysis reveals 3 classes were found with the level of (Dlink/Dmax) x100 < 25%. The significant trend was detected significance formost parameters except CODMN for the monthly average trend analysis. The positive trend was determined in the first cluster. The
test found temperature has significantly increased which lead to increasing concentration Ca, K, and TOTP. The reason of increase TSS
due to the movement of floating village and busy boat navigation. The study is crucial for understanding for future sampling as well as
supporting a decision on lake management.

Fukushima Prefectural Centre for Environmental Creation
Deterioration of water quality in Lake Inawashiro, based on increased chemical oxygen demand (COD) and detection of coliform
bacteria, has accompanied the rapid pH neutralization, which started from the mid-1990s. To elucidate the cause of the deterioration,
we investigated long-term temporal variation in water quality data collected continuously by Water and Air Environment Division,
Social Affairs and Environment Department, Fukushima Prefectural Government. In particular, we focused on parameters that are highly
relevant to internal primary production in the surface water layer at the center of the lake. Our results showed that the surface waterof Lake Inawashiro showed a dramatic increase in primary production because the cell density of both phytoplankton and zooplankton
increased exponentially since the start of neutralization. Moreover, primary productivity may be accelerated by not only lower
biological toxicity and elevated alkalinity due to neutralization, but also by changes in the dynamics of nutrient salts in lake water. To
design strategies to improve the deteriorated water quality of Lake Inawashiro, it is necessary to clarify the dynamics of organic matterand nutritious salts and to accurately assess the pollution load from inflowing rivers based on long- term temporal monitoring of water
quality parameters in the watershed of Lake Inawashiro.

The study focuses on important lakes in the Philippines such as Bunot Lake, Taal Lake, Tikub Lake, Bato Lake and Buhi Lake. This
paper aimed to describe the physical and chemical parameter analyses of five selected lakes in Southern Luzon, Philippines. Threereplicates of water samples were collected (phosphate and TSS); and others were measured on sites from five lakes (January to March2017). The physical parameter included water temperature, pH and turbidity, whereas the chemical parameters included conductivity,
dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate, ammonia, and total suspended solids (TSS). These five selected lakes revealed that conductivity,
turbidity, TSS, phosphate and ammonia content exceeds the DENR Administrative Order (DAO 2016-08) range. The results are
significantly different between 0.22 ± 0.00 to 1779.42 ± 59.41 mg/L for conductivity; 8.42 ± 1.00 to 50.23 ± 23.02 NTU for turbidity;
1 ± 0.00 to 96 ± 76.68 mg/L for TSS; 0.07 ± 0.01 to 1.22 ± 0.03 mg/L for phosphate; and lastly, 0.27 ± 0.04 to 1.47 ± 0.35 mg/L for
ammonia. Taal Lake has the largest variation of conductivity, phosphate and ammonia. Bato Lake has the largest variation of turbidity
and TSS. Bunot Lake has the largest variation of phosphate and ammonia because of anthropogenic activities. The extremely highcontent of TSS and turbidity has caused poor and stressful conditions for the aquatic life of lakes. Proper management, planning andmonitoring is required to prevent further damage of the lake ecosystem from different anthropogenic activities.

Musty odor compounds released have mostly been studied during the warmer season and well documented. Previous study
successfully isolated two odoriferous Streptomyces sp. (S1 and S5) from tropical freshwater of Southeast Asia. Both isolates showeddistinct characteristics against temperature difference (20 °C and 30 °C). S1 showed clear induction of geosmin at 30 °C and none
at 20 °C contradict with S5 which produced higher amount of geosmin at 20 °C compared to 30 °C. In case of temperate isolate,they have thermosensing device to adapt temperature changes. However, S5 does not work to sense the temperature as it shows
less sensitivity than S1 which lead to our hypothesis that S5 does not have the sensor for temperature stress. These isolate werethen sequenced using Illumina HiSeq4000 and draft genome sequence yielded 7.79 Mb and 7.20 Mb genome size of S1 and S5,
respectively. Since the genome size of S5 is smaller compared to S1, there might be some regulatory proteins which not available in
the genome of S5 is/are available in S1 may be the possible temperature sensor. Here, we provide draft genome sequence analysisof both isolates which is very important for discovery more about this temperature sensor and to understand how the mechanisms
involve in these isolate.

Eutrophication is a major water quality problem in the lakes of lowland of Nepal, causing turbid water with high algal biomass
and offering poor condition loadings of limiting nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus (i.e., cultural eutrophication), to theaquatic ecosystem with dramatic consequences for drinking water sources, fisheries and recreational water bodies. To mitigate
these problem this study was conducted to assess the status of eutrophication of Betana Lakes, Rajarani Lakes and Tal Taliya Lakes
of Eastern Nepal through remote sensing techniques and comparing the eutrophication indices derived from field data with remotesensed data. For each lake, two sites were sampled and two samples were collected for the measurement of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a),
Phaeophytin, Nitrate, Phosphate, and Ammonia. Chl-a concentration was found to be in the range of 9.6 -38.7 in Betana Lakes, 1.538.28 in Raja Rani and 8.9-39.0 in Tal Taliya of lowland Nepal. The remote sensing based Chl-a prediction model was applied where
the Landsat visible bands ranging from blue (OLI 2) to green (OLI 4) and near-infrared band (NIR) (OLI 5) were used and applied toobtain the relationship between the sub-surface reflectance and the bio-physical parameters. Highest correlation (R2= 0.9176) was
found between in-situ Chl-a concentration and band ratio of the reflectance of Landsat 8 OLI band (B5/B4). Therefore, this band ratio(B5/B4) was considered as the best predictor of Chl-a concentration and further used for developing the prediction model for the
eutrophication mapping of the lakes.

The effects of chronic irradiation of aquatic biota in lake ecosystems within the Chernobyl exclusion zone during 1998-2017
were studied. It is determined that the rate of chromosomal aberrations in the root meristem tissues of aquatic plants in the mostradioactive contaminated lakes on average in 2-3 times, and in cells of the pond snail embryos in 4-6 times exceeding the spontaneous
mutagenesis level, inherent to aquatic organisms. Analysis of leukograms of fish peripheral blood showed the decrease of lymphocyte
cells, as well as the increase in the number of granulocytic cells (neutrophils and pseudoeosinophils) with increase of radiation dose
rate. Along with changes in leukograms an increased level of morphological damages of erythrocytes (structural and proliferation
abnormalities) was determined, which is generally for pray fish in 4-12 times and for predatory fish in 7-15 times higher than in fishfrom reference lakes. Some morphological changes in gills and axial skeleton of fish were determined as well. Analysis of the viabilityof the seed progeny of the common reed from contaminated lakes at germination in the laboratory showed a reduction in technicalgermination, germination energy and seed viability with increase of radiation dose rate. At the same time significantly increased thenumber of abnormalities of seed seedlings in view of necrosis of roots, disturbance of gravitropism, damages of organogenesis anddisorder of chlorophyll synthesis were discovered.

Lake Lanao in the Southern Philippines is the second largest lake in the country and considered to be one of the ancient lakes of
the world. It is best known for its endemic cyprinid fishes but there is a scarce of information regarding its trophic status with the useof biological indicators particularly ciliated protozoans. This study was conducted to determine the abundance of ciliated protozoans
in Lake Lanao across its littoral and pelagic zones. Their usefulness as indicators of trophic status of Lake Lanao was evaluated. Fivesampling sites were selected from four municipalities namely: Ditsaan-Ramain and Marawi City, Binidayan, Balindong and Taraka as
representatives for north, south, west and east regions of the lake, respectively. Water samples were collected in three replicates withthe use of conical plankton net with a mesh size of 53 microns. The total mean abundance of ciliated protozoans in Lake Lanao was
1,071.70 and 1,686.21 (indiv./m3) for the littoral and pelagic zones respectively. However, there was no significant difference between
the mean abundance of ciliates in the littoral and pelagic zones using t-test for the Equality of Means at alpha level of 0.05. Both theciliate mean abundance and the Trophic State Index (TSI) based on Secchi disk transparency supported an oligotrophic classificationof Lake Lanao. Among the measured physico-chemical parameters, only temperature was positively correlated to the mean abundanceof ciliates whilst conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen were negatively correlated to the ciliates’ mean abundance.

Hokkaido Heritage “Teshio river” (total length 256km) is unusual in the first class river because it flows
toward the north. This river boasts the longest 157km (about 100miles) in Japan, where there are no
artificial structures and the canoe can long touring to the estuary.
In the Teshio River there was a life of Ainu people who once lives by hunting salmon and trout.
Hokkaido has celebrated its 200th anniversary this year. Their godfather is Takeshiro Matsuura(1818～ 1888). He was an explorer who was active in the Meiji Restoration since the end of the Tokugawa
period, and traced back to the Teshio River in the dugout canoe and investigated the basin.
After that, the Pioneers asked for abundant resources, they went up to the Teshio River and parted in
undeveloped land. By that, villages and towns were born.
Here, we will introduce the activities of the organization that continues to convey the charm ofTeshio River through a canoe event that can admire such undeveloped land. In the year 2018 named

THE LAKE REGIONS AND TOURISM

Otemon Gakuin University
This study discusses the possibility of “tourism-based community development” (TBCD) inmaterializing the sustainability of the lake regions and the inland waters around them. Tourism in manyof the lake regions has been criticized until now because of various negative influences caused by its
development and management. However, sustainable tourism (ST) initiated since the 1990s such as
ecotourism and cultural tourism was evaluated as the only successful case of sustainable developmentby the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg Summit) in 2002. Such ST can befound in the TBCD of Japan. Successful cases of TBCD have acquired a good overall reputation in Japan
since the late 1990s. TBCD is characterized as the regional promotion of sustainable community bycommunity residents. A community is constructed through ST on the basis of a dynamic balance among
the four component factors of its social structure, namely 1) the economy, 2) social capital, 3) culture,and 4) the human ecosystem. ST functions in the process of TBCD as follows: 1) ST development
yields “economic profits,” 2) strengthens “social capital” as residents collaborate with each other in theprocess, 3) protects the indigenous “culture” as a tourist attraction, and 4) conserves “nature” and the“human ecosystem” in the community. Issues in introducing TBCD into lake regions are examined basedon cases of TBCD around Lake Biwa, Shiga. Consequently, this study concludes that the two factors of
traditional culture and educational tourism related to the water environment have critical importance in
the TBCD of the lake regions.

In Shiga, BIWAICHI, the bicycle ride around Lake Biwa, is gaining momentum amongst cycling enthusiasts, and more and more
people are experiencing it every year. The Prefecture, continuing its efforts with local cities and towns, business owners and otherrelated organizations, is building its comprehensive promotion plan to make the most of BIWAICHI to not only promote every area ofthe prefecture, but also raise awareness of environmental protection and improve residents’ health, etc.
At the same time, we are collaborating with Lake Kasumigaura (Ibaraki) and Lake Hamana (Hamamatsu, Shizuoka), who are also
working on promoting their areas through lake-based bicycle touring, to build up even more excitement for our projects.
Therefore, we would like to present our project, including concrete efforts, as an example of Lakeside History and Culture at theWorld Lake Conference.

Department of Geography, Komazawa University
In the central coast of Vietnam, many lakes, including five lagoons with an area of 10 km 2 or more, are distributed, where are
overwintering places of internationally important migratory birds. Among them, the Tam Giang Lagoon has been recognized as oneof the important wetlands in Vietnam since the 1990s and has become a prospective candidate for the Ramsar Convention. In thisreport, we reviewed the past efforts aimed at registering the treaty in the Tam Giang Lagoon and examined current and future issues.
As a result, it is urgent to set nature reserves as the core of biodiversity and ecosystem conservation. At that time, not only restorationof reed community in the core zone but also preservation of the brackish water environment is important. However, setting of nature
reserves and restoration of brackish water environment will also restrict the livelihood of the local people, so it is necessary to create
new job opportunities that are guaranteed and alternative. As a clue, it is possible to develop ecotourism focusing on rich and diverse
ecosystems and foster regional brands that make use of the Ramsar Convention.

In this paper, interactions between Jomon prehistoric hunter-gatherers and environmental changes of lake Kasumigaura areconsidered.
Lake Kasumigaura is formed as inner bay by Jomon transgression in early Holocene. Around lake Kasumigaura, shell middens
occurred in late stage of initial Jomon (ca.8,500~7,000 cal yr BP). Gathered shells mainly consist of Crassostrea gigas and Tegillarca
granosa . After early Jomon, shell middens are mainly composed of Meretrix lusoria . These changes of gathered shell species seem toreflect bottom sediments of tidal flat. Sea level reached the highest (+2 ~ 3m) in the early stage of early Jomon (6,500~6,400 cal
yr BP). Valleys drowned by transgression had become alluvial marsh with regression. These valley floors are used as the work area
for woodwork, lacquer work and food preparation by Jomon people. In late to final Jomon, pottery salt production began. Jomon
salt production suggest that lake Kasumigaura still had been inner bay even regression ongoing. Jomon shell middens are witness ofinteraction between lake Kasumigaura and Jomon people. We have to conserve and utilize these archaeological sites.

Takashi Chiba
kasumigaura city museum of history curator
Japanese cultural anthropologist SASAKI Kōmei (1929-2013) distinguished “evergreen forest culture” that characterized westernJapan and “beech forest culture” that characterized eastern Japan. Regions surrounding the Lake Kasumigaura may be considered as
an “ecotone” between evergreen forests and deciduous forests characterized by beech. Indeed, the natural environment of the Lake
Kasumigaura region is very rich, from which local people have been benefitted greatly. Historically, the Lake Kasumigaura region was
situated in the southern part of the Old Province of Hitachi, and the Gazetteers of Hitachi compiled in the eighth century A.D. describedthe Hitachi region as a “never-ending province” that was ideal for people’s living. Before and after the eighth century, a kind of “symbiosis”
between people and the rich natural environment existed in this region; human culture in this region always flourished owing to therich natural environment. From a historical perspective, this symbiosis depended upon people’s standing in awe of and gratitude
toward nature. Such attitude toward nature has always kept people from the destruction and overuse of nature, which maintained
good symbiotic relationship between them. In this presentation, I call for the necessity of maintaining this attitude today, especially inview of contemporary people’s lack of consciousness toward nature.

partnership of citizens, administrations, researchers, and industries. This conference leads to hold the event "the Kasumigaura Citizens’
Evening", that is, the existing "Citizens’ Festival for Swimmable Lake Kasumigaura". This festival parts in the land area and the water area
and is frequented by the attendance more than 6,000 every year. We would like many local residents and industries to come to theLake Kasumigara and to touch it. The deep understanding about today's current state and approach to water purification would makepeople interest in nature. The objective of this festival is to bring up the people who can take action by oneself for the community
including Kasumigaura area through having further friendship in the Lake Kasumigaura which is local treasure, and is also our importantwater resources. We aim at realization of "Swimmable Lake Kasumigaura", and push forward community improvement as the place ofrecreation and relaxation for people.

The purpose of this research is to clarify the characteristics and issues of the adjustment rules in using inland water for leisure.
We focused on the case of the Yoshino River basin, where rafting is the most active in Japan. In this area, an agreement between
rafting shops and local fishery cooperatives has been made, which aims smooth river utilization. Regarding the problems of utilization
adjustment of the inland water, the problem of "fishery versus leisure" has been discussed in early studies. On the other hand, in thecase which the present study observed, the rules are constructed in "leisure (fishing) and leisure (rafting)", which successfully arranges
various uses of rivers. However, concerning the content of the rules, some problems remain in safety and fairness.

Tokyo Olympics will be held in 2020.However, the lack of waterfront and degradation of the aquatic environment in closed water
body are becoming problems in Tokyo.As one of countermeasures for these problems, there is water flow to “Tamagawa Jyosui”
which was the artificial channel created by the Shougun Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1653.The total length is 43km, and the difference inelevation is only 100m.When the peak period of using Tamagawa Josui,it is said that Tamagawa Josui expanded the city of Edo into
the world's largest city with a population of one million because of there has 33 diversion aqueducts, and it supported a wide rangeof economy, industry, agricultural and transportation.But now, 8 diversion aqueducts because the modern aqueduct was proceeding
due to epidemic cholera in 1886.In addition, river water flows only in the upper reach, while sewage-treated water flows in the middle
reach. Because it is a blind ditch which is unknown whether water is flowing downstream.Under these circumstances, activities havebeen conducted by industry, government, academia, and the people to revive Tamagawa Josui in recent years.The perpose of thisstudy is to grasp the current flow regime of Tamagawa Josui’s main stream and divirsion aqueducts.For that purpose, we found thatthe current flow situation performed a field observation and hydraulic accounting based on that, and clarified the current flow regimeof Tamagawa Josui.

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh was known by its heritage, culture, canals & lakes which were connected to the three mainrivers that encircled it. In the frenzy of urbanization, Dhaka has seen a drastic reduction of its lakes and canals resulting in the brutaltransformation of urban tissue. Dwindling water bodies has an adverse impact on the urban environment of Dhaka but this lakes andcanals have also cultural values to the city dwellers. Dhanmondi lake is located in the center of the city (23 °43'N and 90 °26'E). It
is 3 km in length, 35-100m in width, with a maximum depth of 4.77m and the total area of the water body is 37.37 ha. There is one
box culvert to pass the heavy rainfall. The lake is under the management of several authorities looking after its various aspects: City
Corporation, Fisheries and Environment Department etc. The Lake has now become a popular tourist attraction, with cultural hubs,
lush green vegetation, islands, lakeside walkway and benches for visitors to sit and relax on. The open-air amphitheater, RabindraSarobar, is also located on its banks, mostly recognized venue for concerts, dramas, theater performances and a variety of cultural
programs, festivals and holiday celebrations. During festivals such as Independence Day, Eid and Pohela Baishakh (Bengali New Year)it becomes a harbor of joys and color. The founding father of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had chosen his
residence at the bank of this lake. The lake is the lifeline to citizen of the capital.

Bangladesh is a land of wetlands. The folk culture of the country is mostly associated with the wetlands. Haor basin is a special typeof back swamp with many lakes found in northeastern part of Bangladesh and adjacent India. Haor is the second most vulnerable
ecosystem in Bangladesh. There is a significant change in the season due to climate change in that lake areas. The changes inthe seasons has interfered the folk festivals as those events are following the calendar dates. Many lake festivals are under risk ofextinction. There is huge deviation on the local sayings which was the major part of the culture. Traditional knowledge is found not infunction due to erratic rainfall and unpredictable weather. According to the community documentation and support to practice canhelp the community protect and conserve the cultural values. Community based planning and community lead implementation havethe capacity of incorporating cultural values in development action. The initiative to support the conserve the cultural heritages canbe care as climate action. The study has been conducted in the Medir Haor, a lake in the Haor basin of Bangladesh.

The livelihood framework identifies five core capitals which sometimes are called livelihood building blocks. These are natural,social, human, physical and financial capital. On the other hand, rapid deforestation and biodiversity losses are depriving people ofvaluable mangrove based water resources, such as fuel wood, fish, shrimp, food, medicine, and ecosystem based services such as
bird watching, boat riding. Koggala lagoon is located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. It consist 14 islets with forest, mangroves andterrestrial shrubs. Livelihood around the lagoon mainly depended on tourism and fisheries. Fishing mostly depends on brackish waters
due to sea water intrusion into the lagoon. Respondents mentioned there are number of societies, local government involve managing
tourist industry as well as environment. They have been restricted harvesting of mangrove for timber and fuel wood. The landing of sea
planes in the lagoon is known to affect the bird populations, and cause erosion of the lagoon banks due to the large waves createdduring landings. Respondents claims that decreasing of biodiversity in lagoon directly affected on their livelihood due to large scale
clearing of mangroves for construction purposes. It was identified operate boats by unskilled people without using safety jackets.
Government involvement is necessary to prepare policies to regulate tourist industry and improve infrastructure facilities. Regulate
unauthorized construction beside the lagoon and control discharge effluent from nearby free trade zone to improve lagoon biodiversity.

India having ancient histroy of Buddhism and Hinduism was a harbor of numerous water bodies in the premises of temples wherewater use to be treated as holy and was protected by devotees under public participation.Today,s senario is tragic one.These places
are flouriching but water bodies in their premises are depleting.The pressure on ground water,cutting of large age old trees adjacent
to water bodies and increasing load of devotees can be the possible causal factor.These water bodies are the true aquifers whichwere charged from ground water.
The author conducted the survey of 92 such aquifers located in the premises of Bramhagiri mountain located 28 KM from the megaindustrial city Nashik in Western part of India.This mountain is also an origin of Holy river Godavari which is one of the longest in South
India hence called South Ganges.Our survey shows that majority of these aquifers though completelly dry but still holds religious
status where thousands of devotee annually visit them for water worship.Our in depth analysis of each aquifer indicate that these canbe revived back to their original fresh water form.If revijuvinied and conserved back then river Godavari can get best strength of waterfrom her origin itself.Ifwater bodies are saved,river can also be saved is a positive message from this lake conservation episode.This
research paper highlight the efforts taken by NGO using public participation as a weapon for sustainable approach to save the water
bodies.

AQUATIC SYSTEMS USING A MULTI-ISOTOPE APPROACH
Carol Kendall

U. S. Geological Survey
Excess nutrients from anthropogenic sources to lakes and other water bodies can cause significant
problems for ecosystem health and for the usefulness of the water body for drinking water, recreation,and other purposes. Solutions for these environmental problems are difficult to determine because
there are usually many different land-uses that contribute nutrients and organic matter to theecosystem. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that stable isotopic techniques - particularly
multi-isotope approaches piggybacked onto routine monitoring programs -- are a powerful tool for
determining sources of nutrients contributing to ecological problems because different kinds of nutrientsand kinds of dissolved and particulate organic matter derived from different sources and land uses
often have distinctively different isotopic compositions.
The basis for using isotopes to determine the sources of nutrients and other solutes to algae andbacteria is that autotrophic organisms preferentially assimilate the lower-mass isotopes of dissolved
solutes. Hence, a comparison of the isotopic compositions of the organisms and the solutes fromdifferent sources allows estimation of the relative contributions of different specific nutrient and solutesources to the organisms. And since different nutrient and other solute sources frequently havedistinctive compositions, the relative contributions from these different sources can often be reliably
determined. This presentation will present an overview of the "state of the science" regarding theability of isotopes to distinguish point and non-point anthropogenic impacts at various spatial scales,
provide suggestions for successful pilot studies, and outline guidelines for future monitoring programs inbiologically active and human-impacted systems.

Research summary:
The main thrust of Carol Kendall’s research has been the development of a portfolio of multi-isotope and otherapproaches for investigating water, nutrient, and organic matter sources and biogeochemical processes in large river
basins, mostly as part of regional to national-scale water quality and ecological monitoring programs. In so doing, she has
worked in watersheds all over the USA, at scales ranging from small pristine catchments in the Rockies and Appalachians,
to large wetlands like the Everglades, and to large human-impacted basins like the Mississippi. The main focus of her
recent research is using a multi-isotope approach to investigate the effects of flow and nutrients on various ecosystemproblems (including hypoxia, food web collapse, and harmful algal blooms) in the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers,
their delta, and the San Francisco Bay. Common aspects of most of her studies are: (1) that she usually piggybacks themon large-scale state and federal environmental monitoring programs (water quality, ecological, and atmospheric); and (2)that she uses a multi-isotope, multi-tracer approach for the various ecosystems studies, resulting in the development ofmany regional to continental-scale isoscapes.

The measurement of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) isotope values of dissolved nitrate (NO3-) has been
performed since 1980s. Isotope information of various origins of NO3- has been compiled for manydifferent ecosystems. In the beginning of 2000s, the development of the microbial denitrifier method
for this measurement has made its throughput higher dramatically. As this method requires a tiny
amount of sample volume, it allows us to execute spatiotemporally high resolution and simultaneous
measurements of N and O isotopes of NO3-. Using this technique, we have been able to reveal thedetails of transformation and movement of NO3- and related N compounds in various ecosystems.
We have applied this method to describe the transformation of N in the surface of plants, litter layers,
soils and groundwater zones, and also used for identifying the origins of NO 3- in river basins. In thispresentation, I would like to show how we have approached to the N dynamics in various scales of
ecosystems using this isotope technique. Then, I would like to discuss the future directions of this study
area and associate methodologies applicable to reveal the new insights of N dynamics in terrestrial
ecosystems. For example, microbial ecological investigations may provide substantial information toevidence the N dynamics showed as the isotope signatures.

Water quality degradation caused by contamination of nitrate from various sources has become a worldwide environmental
problem. Stable isotopes of nitrate-nitrogen (d15N) and oxygen (d18O) have been used to trace nitrate sources in the hydrosphere. In
Silang-Sta. Rosa subwatershed of Laguna de Bay, the Philippines, in which sewage systems have not yet developed well, groundwater
nitrate pollution is a matter of great concern to the society. Here, we conducted nitrate d15N-d18O stable isotope analysis with adenitrifier method to identify the source of nitrate pollution in the groundwaters during the dry and wet seasons. Biplots of the nitrate
d15N-d18O values suggest that the groundwater nitrate isotope signatures in a hot spot of nitrate pollution are imprinted by those offertilizers as well as manure/septic wastes. Principal component analysis for groundwater trace element also reveals that groundwaters
in the polluted area are derived from the upstream cropland. These results suggest that chemical fertilizers can be one of the major
sources of groundwater nitrate pollution in this watershed. The use of this isotope technique aids for the practice of watershed
governance, in which variety of stakeholders are involved in mitigation of the nitrate pollution through the integration of local andscientific knowledge.

Hokota River watershed (53 km2) has a large impact on nitrogen (N) distribution of the Lake Kasumigaura. The mean of nitrate (NO 3 － )concentration was 9.4 ± 4.2 mg N L － 1 in water samples collected from wells (n = 60), and 42% of the whole samples exceeded
the environmental water-quality standard (10 mg N L － 1). The values of stable isotopes of NO3 － (δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3); 7.9 ± 1.9 ‰ forδ15NNO3 and 1.2 ± 1.2 ‰ for δ18ONO3 indicates that major N sources are chemical fertilizer and animal manure. Similar patterns of δ15NNO3－ δ18ONO3 diagram of Hokota River watershed which consists of 3 sub-watershed, suggested that chemical fertilizer and animal manure
application ratio is almost the same in the watershed. The slope of δ18ONO3 － δ15NNO3 plot is 0.42, which indicates the significanceof microbial denitrification. In conclusion, reduction of both chemical fertilizer and manure applications is required for groundwater
quality conservation from NO3 － contamination.

Although atmospheric deposition of atmospheric ammonia (NH3) emitted from agriculture and livestock areas causes nitrogenloads around the NH3source, datasets ofNH3concentration are still limited and increase the uncertainty in estimating nitrogen loads
over the basin in Japan. Since June 2017, we have developed the monitoring network of NH 3concentration at thirteen locations in
Kasumigaura-basin in Ibaraki. The network is based on monthly low-cost observational method using widely used passive samplersand
ion chromatography. The preliminary results showed a large difference in temporal variations of observed NH3concentration among
the locations; the variation was particularly high at the locations close to the emission source. Through a continuous observation in thepresent network, nitrogen loads via atmospheric deposition of NH3will be estimated in Kasumigaura-basin and a nitrogen-saturation

Atmospheric ammonia (NH3) emitted from the feedlot and agricultural sources causes nitrogen loads to the basin through dry
deposition, which is the phenomenon that gaseous materials are captured at the vegetative surface due to turbulent exchanges. To
estimate dry deposition amount of NH3, field observation of spatial distribution of NH3 concentration is important, although such data
is currently very limited in the Kasumigaura basin in Ibaraki, Japan, where agricultural landuse is popular. In the present study, a multipoint observation of monthly NH3 concentration was carried out inside and around the cattle feedlot in Ibaraki University using several
passive samplers from 23 May 2017 to 21 February 2018. Dry deposition amount was then estimated based on the inferential methodby multiplying observed NH3 concentration and modelled deposition velocity. Wet deposition of NH4+ was also observed by a bulk
sampler. The results revealed that measured NH3 concentration was high when the percentage of downwind of the cattle feedlot
was high at observational points during each sampling period. At the location of 50 m leeward of the feedlot, nitrogen load due todry deposition of NH3 reached 31% of that due to wet deposition of NH4+. This indicates that dry deposition of NH3 released from thecattle feedlot may contribute to the total nitrogen load to the basin that includes huge agricultural areas.

The Tomoe and Hokota Rivers flow into Lake Kitaura (Ibaraki, Japan), and in the basins of these rivers, groundwater concentrationsof nitrate- and nitrite-nitrogen (NO3-N + NO2-N) have exceeded the applicable environmental quality standard (10 mg/L) at several
wells, since 1998. In November 2016, the authors conducted a groundwater quality survey at eight wells in the basins, to document
the status and examine the causes of this nitrate pollution. Concentrations of NO 3-N + NO2-N exceeded the environmental quality
standard at five wells, and at two of these, located in the upstream region of Tomoe River, the concentrations exceeded 20 mg/L.
At four wells, NO3-N + NO2-N concentrations have been higher than the environmental quality standard since 2009, and they havebeen almost stable at this raised level or slightly increasing for the last two years (2014-2016). Analytical results on the compositionof major inorganic ions and stable isotope ratio of NO3-N inferred that chemical fertilizers (e.g., ammonium sulfate) and manure soil
amendment added into the dry fields in the basin catchment areas are the main causes of nitrate pollution in affected groundwater.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macro-nutrient to plant; however, excessive N fertilization to crops can cause various environmental
problems. In Ibaraki prefecture, various techniques to reduce N fertilization have been developed for reducing farmer’s cost andenvironmental impacts. We developed a literature database containing monitoring data of N fertilization, crop N uptake, N harvest,
etc., obtained from field experiments conducted in Ibaraki prefecture, and calculated virtual nitrogen factor (VNF) defined as the ratioof consumed N to total N loss to the environment during food production to consumption processes in the N footprint calculation.
We also examined the relationship between VNF and nitrate leaching and found that, in leaf vegetables, reduced N fertilization led
to decrease in both nitrate leaching and VNF; on the other hand, in root vegetables, such relationship was unclear because reduced
N fertilization did not necessarily lead to decrease in nitrate leaching. Moreover, applicability of VNF as an index of nitrate leaching
was generally limited in the same field or same experimental conditions. These results suggest that VNF is valid as an index of nitrateleaching when applied to some types of crops such as leaf vegetables under the same farmland conditions to compare the effects ofreduced N fertilization. Further study is needed to elucidate why reduced N fertilization in root crop did not lead to decrease in nitrateleaching before discussing the VNF applicability.

Residual fertilizer nitrogen (N) in soil represents a potential environmental contaminant because of the risk of nitrogen leaching
into ground water. Winter cover crops can conserve residual soil N. Soil organic carbon (SOC) has various roles in producing crops
and improving their environment. Cover crop is a potential method for conserving or increasing SOC. However, the effectiveness ofutilization of cover crops for soil and water conservation has not been clear yet. This study compared dry matter (DM), N content, N
accumulation, soil organic C and N in different soil layers (0-2.5, 2.5-7.5, 7.5-15 and 15-30 cm) among different cover crops, including
fallow (native weeds), hairy vetch (legume cover crop) and rye (grass cover crop) in soybean production to investigate the effect ofcover crops on C and N dynamics in agroecosystem. The results showed that rye had significantly higher dry matter than fallow andhairy vetch, and it also had the highest N accumulation. However N content in rye was significantly lowest, there was no significant
difference between fallow and hairy vetch. Soil organic C and N content were higher in rye and hairy vetch compared to fallow in each
depth. Soil organic C and N content were significantly higher in 0-2.5 and 2.5-7.5 in relative to 7.5-15 and 15-30 cm layers. These
results indicated that cover crops can improve N accumulation and increase soil organic C and N content, it should help inorganic

The nitrogen removal equation for paddy fields is that R = a*C. Where is the nitrogen removal rate(R), nitrate nitrogenconcentration(C) and nitrogen removal coefficient (a). "a" is a = 0.00002*Temperature(T)2 + 0.005 under light condition. This equation
is an empirical formula obtained under constant temperature test. We investigated the temperature of nitrogen removal coefficientfor practical applications. The investigation was carried out almost every week from January 2015 to December 2016. Investigateditems are flow rates (inlet / outlet), T-N concentrations and water temperatures (inlet, center, outlet), and soil temperatures (at central
part, 1 cm interval in the depth direction to 10 cm). We also used AMeDAS (Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System)
temperature data about 10 km away from the site. The results of the investigation showed that nitrogen removal rate was more
related to soil temperature of 10 cm depth or the average integrated time temperature from AMeDAS temperature data than the watertemperature at the time of investigation. Calculating the nitrogen removal rate at this temperature will reduce the error. Therefore, it
was calculated by multiplying the average integrated time temperature of the nitrogen removal equation by the temperature factor. As
a result, the best result was obtained when the average integrated time temperature (light condition) and the temperature factor 1.3
are used.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of land-use on total-nitrogen and total-phosphorus concentrations in river water(R-N and R-P). The study area consisted of 13 watersheds covering about half of Hokkaido, and 12 watersheds covering about half ofTohoku and those 12 sub basins in Japan. We estimated N and P specific load factors, which showed the magnitude of the uplandfields, paddy fields, forests and urban land-use contributions to R-N and R-P. The N and P specific load factors were gained as partial
regression coefficients using a multiple regression analysis of the R-N and R-P concentrations and the land-use ratios in each of thewatersheds. The results showed that The N specific load factor was -2.4, 2.4, 0.1, and 39.8 for the watersheds in Hokkaido, 2.9, 9.8**,
0.49, and -6.8 for the watersheds in Tohoku, and 1.2, 6.7, 0.4, 4.3 for the sub watersheds in Tohoku for paddy, upland, forest, building
site, respectively. The P specific load factors were 0.08, 0.07, 0.02, and 1.4 for the Hokkaido watersheds, 0.20**, 0.23**, 0.00, and0.01 for the Tohoku watersheds, and 0.15, 0.10, 0.00,and 0.80* for the Tohoku sub watersheds for paddy, upland, forest, building site,
respectively (* 5% **, 1% significance). The surplus-N (nitrogen applied to cropland via fertilizer without being absorbed by crops) was
found to be gently correlated to R-N by a non-linear curve with a contribution rate R 2 of 0.43 in spite of a simple calculation.

Imbanuma basin at Chiba Prefecture has had problem of deterioration of water quality in recent years. For the way to improve thatcircumstance, cyclic irrigation is proposed. In a cyclic irrigation system, drainage water discharged from paddy field is pumped andreused as irrigation water. Cyclic irrigation is expected to decrease the pollution load because it decrease the amount of drainage
water flowing to lake, and because some of the nutrition in drainage water will be returned to paddy field. The purpose of thisresearch is to evaluate quantitatively for effect of decreasing the pollution load for Imbanuma basin in this irrigation system. For that
purpose we did three analysis. First, we analysis record of a storage pump and a map of drainage canal. And we know that fifty-one
percent water is reused water out of total irrigation water and that fifty-seven percent of paddy field is joined to the storage pump.
Second we found for relation between water quality and precipitation or farmer’s work. Especially we found relation with fertilization
but it was based on examination of water implemented only once a month. So we had also conclusion that such examination is need
to be had more often. Last we made a model of water movement. That model is composed the tank model and model of shape ofdrainage canal. This model output water level of drainage canal. It can reproduce the water level so roughly, but need to be improved.

As Kasumigaura watershed, water ecosystem in lake is tempraliliy better to promote domestic sewage system. However, water
quality is not so improved as expected. Possibly, this comes from excess fertilizer or nutrient storage in soils, and the storaged
pollutant loads is continued to influence in long term. Then, counter measures of water quality improvement is expected to improve
agricultural drainage. Circulated irrigation use of agricultural drainage water is considered as one of effective counter measures. For
evaluation of pollutant loads discharge and water quality purification effect when applied circulated irrigation scheme, case study was
conducted in Shintone irrigation district in Kasumigaura basin. Monitoring system was installed and hourly measured water amountand water quality, electric conductivity (EC). Water and EC material balance was analyzed, and scenario analysis is presented in caseof circulated irrigation scheme were installed. Monitoring period is 2017 January to December.

Eutrophication is progressing at Hachiro Lake around Ogata village in Akita Prefecture, reducing the environmental burden is an
important issue. It is possible to reduce environmental burden when farmers don’t discharge turbid water from paddy fields after
puddling. We built RTKGNSS reference station in Ogata village and made transplanting operation using GNSS assisted auto-steered ricetransplanter without discharging turbid water. The lateral deviation from the desired straight path was less than 5 cm. This accuracy is
as same as veteran operator without auto-steering. Miss plant rate was 0.3 % at 30 mm depth of water and 0.7% at 43 mm. We don’t
obtain the difference of transplanting depth and initial growth between water discharged field and non-discharged field. The yield andquality of rice are also as same.

Lake Hachiroko is the adjustment reservoir for the reclaimed land, and its area is about 45 km2. Since the reclamation 54 years ago,
due to wastewater loads such as fertilizer components, which mainly cause agricultural land drainage, it has severe water pollution
problems of eutrophication.
We measured the inflow and outflow of the nutrients load on the Hachirogata reclaimed land and determined the daily net dischargeload. The net discharge load of the reclaimed land from a year, 2017 (157 km2 including 100 km 2 paddy field) was 3.5 × 105kg ofnitrogen (N), 6.1 × 104kg of phosphorus (P), 2.4 × 107kg of suspended solid (SS).
In addition, we measured the amount of pollutant load reduction in farmers' field. It will also reduce wastewater and make effective
use of water resources. Precise measurement of water quantity and water quality was carried out and the load amount was measured.
The results are as follows. The water depth of non-drainage GNSS transplantation was about 30 mm, and the water saving amount
was about 25 mm. Nitrogen 1.6 kg / ha, phosphorus:0.30 kg / ha and SS:150 kg / ha was reduced in discharge load due to falling
water.
At the central reclaimed land there were net discharge loads of N: 7.4 kg / ha, P: 1.6, SS: 810 kg / ha in May. The load reduction
effect on Hachiro Lake by non-drainage transplant using GNSS straight-ahead assisted rice transplanter were estimated N: 22%, P: 19,
SS: 18%.

The forest of Shiga Prefecture occupies about half of the prefecture soil, and plays a big role as a water source forest of Lake Biwa. In
recent years, the disappearance of forest floor vegetation and the soil outflow caused by deer in addition, new problems such as theslope failure caused by localized torrential rains, the occurrence of driftwood and sediment erosion, etc., are affecting the environmentof Lake Biwa, a closed water area. On the other hand, artificial forests are becoming more and more fulfilling as forest resources during
the period of use. In order to use this forest resource appropriately and to maintain the forest to meet new challenges at the sametime, it is urged to have more consideration for the environment of Lake Biwa than ever before. So this time, I stood in view of theconservation and regeneration of Lake Biwa, in order to properly implement forestry production activities, we have decided to show
the guidelines for forest development based on three perspectives (from the viewpoint of sustainable resource use, the viewpoint of
the countermeasures against driftwood and sediment, and the viewpoint of maintaining the water supply and nutrition function). In theguideline, the location conditions of the water source forest of Lake Biwa were arranged, and the basic idea of the forest maintenance
was shown, and it was described that it was important to practice this.

In the area around Komado-Shitsugen moor, beech forest was reclaimed to be the agricultural fields to increasing the vegetableproductivity in 1950s and abandoned until 2000. Reforestation activities started from 2000, however, in some area, planted beech
trees shows poor growth, and the area is still covered by Japanese pampas grass. In this study, we surveyed soil environmental
condition in beech forest area, abandoned cropland area and transit area to reveal the factors inhibit the growth of beech trees.
Topographical measurement, vegetation survey and soil sampling were carried out at 10 × 30 meter quadrat containing forest area,transit area and grassland area. From the edge of forest to the edge of grassland, soil profiles survey was examined in every 10m.
At the profile 3, which might be affected by field grading, the top soil under bamboo grass showed relatively brownish color andmoderate carbon content. On the contrary, at the profile 4 under the grassland, organic A horizon was not detected and the top soil
showed brown color and low carbon content which resembles to the subsurface soil of beech forest. From these results, bamboo
grass in transit area was possibility related to the formation of surface A horizon, and naked subsurface soil under the grassland
supposedly inhibit the growth of planted young beech trees.

In Sengari Reservoir supplying domestic water to Kobe city, Japan, total phosphorus (TP) concentration remains higher than aprescribed environmental standard value. Field survey was conducted to estimate TP loads emitted from a paddy field and from aforested watershed in the reservoir basin, measuring TP concentration and discharge in an agricultural drainage canal as well as in a
mountain stream. The two measurement points were located 6.2 km apart in different sub-catchment basins of the reservoir. Water
samples were collected once a week during the irrigation season (from May to mid-September) and also occasionally in rainy days
during the non-irrigation season. Data loggers were operated to record water depths with an interval of 10 minutes, to determine thedischarges with relevant hydraulic methods. The total TP loads from the paddy field were estimated at 6.0 kg/ha and at 6.2 kg/ha
during the irrigation and the non-irrigation seasons, respectively, while that from the forested watershed was estimated at 0.49 kg/ha.
As a result of hydrological analysis, it is concluded that less frequent heavy rainfall events cause significant intensification of TP loads
both from the paddy field and from the forested watershed.

Sengari Reservoir basin, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is an agricultural watershed dominated by a mountainous area, and has a problemof water quality, especially of phosphorus, in Sengari Reservoir. In the basin, temporal and spatial distribution of phosphate-phosphorus(PO4-P) concentration along the rivers flowing into the reservoir was investigated regularly. From the measured results, it was foundthat PO4-P is high during the irrigation period specifically in sub-basins where domestic waste water is treated by septic tanks, although
PO4-P is low throughout the year in sub-basins where domestic waste water is treated in rural sewages. With the measured data and
GIS data of landuse and altitude, linear multiple regression models whose explanatory variables are the area ratio of landuse type tothe catchment area of a sampling point, the area ratio of the catchment area of the sampling point to the whole area of the sub-basin,
and a dummy variable that distinguishes between rural sewage and septic tank sub-basins were formulated. The estimated PO 4-P
distribution along rivers shows good agreement with the measured one except for some outliers, and the obtained coefficients imply
that Paddy Field and Residential Area are major source of PO4-P.

the fractional phosphorus at 22 sites in Lake Suwa. Compare with the content at the latter half of the 1970s, that content ofphosphorus decreased by ca.40%. It is reflected the diffusion of sewage in the watershed and the reduction of the phosphorus load toLake Suwa. Especially, Non-apatite phosphorus was decreased considerably during this period. Non-apatite phosphorus concentrationdifference was large between observation sites. Non-apatite phosphorus was found to have a strong negative correlation with thesediment particle size, and it was presumed that non-apatite phosphorus behaved with fine particles.

Rice paddy fields are one of the large non-point sources of P effluent to river and lake systems. Phosphorus in the soil and water ispresent as dissolved and particulate (colloidal) forms, and they are different in bioavailability to cyanobacteria. Elucidation of the formsof P in the soil is therefore essential to manage the water quality and predict the occurrence of eutrophication in water bodies. The
objective of this study was to investigate P species in the bulk and colloidal fraction of paddy soils and how the P species relate to thegrowth of cyanobacteria. Our study revealed that P in the soil colloid with the size ranging from 20 to 1000 nm was mainly associatedwith iron (Fe) and aluminum oxides. The growth of Synechococcus sp. was temporally retarded by the presence of P associated with
Fe oxides. Iron oxides in the soil may play an important role in retention and transport of P and is also related to bioavailability tocyanobacteria.

Hereupon, we firstly
analyzed functions of the subcritical water reactor, and secondly conducted actual project-based R/D study to verify the feasibility andavailability on the leading system models formulated by the subcritical water reactor.

Some rural areas have problems of water pollution in lake, pond, river and canal no good for human life, irrigation and ecosystem.
Most reasons come from insufficient recycle of nitrogen and phosphorus contained in various biomass and water as well as fertilizing
design. Authors have developed diagnosis tool for regional biomass use that show present and planned material balance. Objective
feedstock biomass is such as livestock wastes, residues of food and sludge. This study dealt with methane fermentation technology.
Katori city of Japan and Thai My village of Vietnam were chosen as case study area and the effect by plan with some scenarios were
quantified. The results indicated how the use of chemical fertilizer, disposal and influent load to water bodies decreased by circulativeuse of biomass. Appropriately designed and managed biomass use system can contribute to water quality conservation, soundmaterial cycle, creation of value-added food production and vitalization of regional economy throughout local production for local

Aquatic plants grow thickly because of eutrophication in rivers and lakes. This influences our lives, because the plants may create an
unpleasant odor, act as obstacles in navigation, decrease biodiversity etc. Therefore, more effective measures are needed to eliminate
and utilize aquatic plant biomass effectively. Thus, we assessed the feasibility of using aquatic plant biomass to reduce water content
of sewage sludge. Here, we used dallisgrass (Paspalum) and water caltrop (Trapa japonica) for reducing the sludge water content.
We observed that sludge mixed with flocculant and water caltrop had a significantly reduced water content compared with sludge
containing no water caltrop. Also, the volume of dewatering sludge mixed with flocculants and water caltrop was reduced comparing
with that not mixed with any aquatic plants. Additionally, according to calculations, it was demonstrated that reaped aquatic plants inthe south area of Lake Biwa by the Sewage Works Department could be consumed in approximately 10 days or less by using them as
a dehydration aid in wastewater treatment plants.The utilization of aquatic plants as a dehydration aid in wastewater treatment plants
is effective and can be applied by the Sewage Works as well as Lake Departments.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a technology that stabilizes wastes such as manure, sludge or food wastes through biological activity inan oxygen-free environment with concomitant production of biogas containing approximately 60% methane. Although sewage sludge
discharged from wastewater treatment plants is expected to be feedstock of AD and used in large-scale plants, use in small-scale
plants is limited due to low energy and economic efficiency. AD under lower temperature conditions than normal (35 °C) and the useof digested sludge as a fertilizer are promising as an energy and economic efficiency improvement technology. However, there is little
information available on the influence of digestion under low temperature condition on characteristics of sludge as a fertilizer. In thisstudy, we conducted incubation testing to examine the characteristics of nitrogen mineralization in paddy soil treated with the sludge
from low-temperature anaerobic digestion (15, 25, 30 ℃ ). The results indicated that only a small amount of ammonium nitrogen(3 to 13%) was released from anaerobically digested sludge after application under all low temperature conditions. Therefore, anappropriate rate of application of anaerobically digested sludge can be determined based on the ammonium nitrogen in the sludge.
Moreover, it is possible to prevent additional nitrogen load on river or lake by conducting appropriate design for sludge application.

The nuclear accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) occurred as a consequence of the massive earthquake
and associated tsunami on March 11, 2011, which was the first nuclear power plant accident in Asia. A long term monitoring ofradiocesium content in soybean and cover crops was conducted from 2011 20 2017 in soybean field (~170km from FDNPP), Lake
Kasumigaura basin, to clarify the changes of radiocesium in soybean and cover crops. From 2011 to 2017, soybean was cultivatedfrom July to October and Cover crops (fallow weeds, FA; rye RY; and hairy wetch, HV) was cultivated from October to June with threetillage systems (moldboard plow, MP; rotary cultivation, RC; and no tillage, NT). Radiocesium content declined steadily in soybean grainfrom 2011 to 2014, however, this reduction slowed down from 2014 to 2017. Comparing with in MP and RC, radiocesium content insoybean grain unde NT system was consistently higher in every year. Radiocesium content in three kind of cover crops also decreased
sharply from 2011 to 2014 and became stable since 2015. radiocesium content in rye was consistently lower than hairy vetch andfallow weeds. This research revealed that tillage can continuously reduce the radiocesium content in soybean grain for a long term,
although in NT system still showed higher radiocesium content in soybean grain in Lake Kasumigaura basin.

There has been increased concern the outbreak of bacteria possessing antibiotic-resistant into the natural environment these days.
Our research group has investigated the distribution and dynamics of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in eutrophic Lake Kasumigaura, Japanand neighboring agricultural fields to date. A veterinary drug tetracycline, which is we-known as a respectively inexpensive antibiotic,
has an effect against contagious diseases and extensive usage as feed additives in the livestock industries. In the current study, we
showed that the tetracycline-resistant bacteria belonging to the class Gammaproteobacteria , Betaproteobacteria , and Alphaproteobacteria
commonly obtained, indicating that these bacteria dominantly existed in the waterbody near the Lake Kasumigaura and its neighboring
agricultural field soil. Our results suggested that indigenous bacteria possessing the tetracycline-resistant are widely distributed in theLake Kasumigaura ecosystem.

Lake Mashu is a dimictic caldera lake located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan. It is a typicalclosed lake with no inflowing nor outflowing rivers. In 1931, Lake Mashu recorded 41.6 m of Secchi
disk transparency, which has been the largest transparency record exceeding that of Lake Baikal. Thereis no anthropogenic pollution sources including agricultural nor forestry activities inside the watershed.
For example, concentrations of heavy metals and persistent organic substances in lake water are
extremely low. Therefore the detection of trace components itself was a challenging monitoring
objective and it can be said that Lake Mashu is a unique field for the environmental scientists. Lake
Mashu is the sole lake registered as a baseline monitoring station in Japan at the UNEP GEMS/Water
programme. Physical, chemical and biological observation by the National Institute for Environmental
Studies and collaborating institutions is the only scientific monitoring of water qualities for the last three
decades.
Three findings about the lake monitoring will be provided. 1) A mechanism of formation of largetransparency, and reproduction of seasonal variation of transparency by planktonic evidences andcontinuous logging data in the severe environmental conditions. 2) An estimation of long term variationof lake water constituents through the isotopic and gaseous analysis of water balance and accurate
and/or sensitive analytical methods for elements. 3) Examination of longer term environmental changes
by a precise measurement of lead isotope ratios.

Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University
The challenge to manage lakes under global change trajectories of increasing diffuse nutrient
pollution, climate change and invasive species is intensifying. Network-based science will have an
increasingly important role in addressing these threats to the sustainability and service provisionsof lakes. Network science can increase the number and breadth of case studies, provide greaterinterdisciplinary coverage, and advance the uptake of novel technologies like high-frequency sensor
monitoring. The Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) uses network-based science
to seek to understand and interpret high-frequency sensor data from lakes across the world.
Complimenting networks are databases like LAGOS-NE and Takiwa, which provide geospatially andtemporally resolved databases for lakes at national scale (USA and New Zealand, respectively). New
sensing technologies and practices, as well as greater accessibility of this information, are leading
to dissemination of best practice approaches and implementation of systems to avoid ‘reinventing
the wheel’ in terms of data acquisition and modelling tools. Global networks of researchers arewell positioned to address the challenges of increasing availability of high frequency data but thesynthesis studies that are enabled by these networks need to be directed towards improved processrepresentations as well as statistical generalizations. Moreover, societies will continue to play animportant role as persistent organizations to promote the profession, provide regular meetings andmaintain the standards of disciplinary journals.

This research explains the background processes responsible for the spatio-temporal distribution of hydrochemical properties ofthe picturesque Himalayan Lake, Dal, located in Kashmir valley, India. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used tounderstand the spatiotemporal variability of 18 hydrochemical parameters collected from 30 sampling sites well distributed within thelake (grid spacing of 1 km2) from March 2014-February 2016. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) grouped all the sampled data into 3
clusters based on the hydrochemical similarities, Discriminant analysis (DA) also revealed the same clusters and patterns of the data,
validating the results of HCA. Wilk’s lambda quotient distribution revealed the contribution of ions, nutrients, secchi disk transparency,
dissolved oxygen and pH in the formation of clusters in the lake. The results are in consonance the Principal Component Analysis(PCA) of the whole lake data and individual clusters, which showed that the variance is maximally explained by the ionic component(46.82%) followed by dissolved oxygen and pH (9.36%), nitrates and phosphates (7.33%) and Secchi disk transparency (5.98%). Spatial
variability of the hydrochemical variables of the lake is due to the variations in water depth, lake water dynamics, flushing rate ofwater, organic matter decomposition, and anthropogenic pressures within and around the lake ecosystem. Overall, the water qualityof the lake is unfit for drinking due to the presence of coliform bacteria in lake waters.

Today, the health of streams and rivers has been dramatically changed by anthropogenic disturbances. The Loei River in Loei
province, Thailand is one of the Mekong River tributary which affected by many anthropogenic disturbances such as agriculturalactivities, urbanization and industry. In Thailand, standard water quality is based on chemical measurements, which are not reflect
cumulative stressors. Use of multimetric benthic macroinvertebrate index can reflect overall streams and rivers ecological. The aim of
this research is to evaluate rivers health by using multimetric benthic macroinvertebrate index. Ten sampling sites were selected toevaluate rivers health. The result showed that Loei river has been threating by many anthropogenic activity. Thus, river and land use
management are urgent need in this catchment.

The aquatic resources of the Mekong River are important to support the livelihoods of a large percentage of 60 million who live along
the Lower Mekong Basin. The protection of aquatic habitat from damage and understanding of both sensitivities of aquatic organisms
to contaminant and ecological effects are needed. Mekong River quality criteria of aquatic life for metals are largely driven by theextremely sensitive small organism’s toxicity which should be the Mekong native species. Environmental monitoring and Ecotoxicologyof heavy metal (copper) on several tropical freshwater biota was studied using field-collected water from local sites along Lower
Mekong Basin in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which had different water quality parameters under the tropical environment in therange of total hardness, alkalinity, pH and dissolved organic carbon. The result showed the mortality rate of organisms increased withincreasing of copper concentrations and exposure time. The results found that copper toxicity of fish, invertebrates and other aquaticorganisms are influenced by water quality parameters such as hardness, alkalinity, pH, and DOC. Copper (Cu) is a big concern forenvironment, human and aquatic organisms because it can accumulate into plant and animals via food web. The outcoming of thisseries of laboratory experiment will provide a worst-case scenario and useful for determining the risk assessment of copper on local
freshwater organisms in Mekong River Basin in order to help and protect the Mekong River in the future and to set a water quality
standard for heavy metal in the Mekong River Basin countries.

Located in the central part of Ibaraki Prefecture, Lake Hinuma is a brackish lake connected to the Pacific Ocean via the Nakagawa
River. Ibaraki Prefecture has been monitoring water quality monthly at three points in the lake since the 1970s through measurementof Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). No long-term trend was discernible during the period, however an annual cycle was noted,
together with other periodic fluctuations. In due course, wavelet analysis was applied to many water quality fluctuations in the lake,
to the inflowing rivers and to the outflowing river, and the dominant water quality cycles were identified and analyzed. As a result, thedominance of the annual cycle was confirmed, and this cycle was interrupted every 7 to 8 years, at which point the seasonal change
in COD became negligible for a period. In addition, COD increased during the period when the cycles with a three-year period were
dominant. The appearance pattern of the dominant one-year cycle of Lake COD was similar to that for the upstream rivers, suggestingthat the COD fluctuations in the lake were strongly influenced by those in the upstream rivers.

This study reports hypoxia events associated with suppressed vertical mixing during the summer season, Kitaura, Lake Kasumigaura,
Japan. Mooring data obtained at the Kamaya monitoring station were used to investigate physical processes causing hypoxia events.
Hypoxia appears under conditions of strong stratification due to strong incoming heat flux into the lake. The square of buoyancy
2frequency (indicator of the stratification strength), N , reaches 2.4 × 10-3 in July, 2016. On the other hand, hypoxia water disappears
under weak stratified or mixing conditions when moderate winds (~ 5 m s -1) and weak incoming heat flux. The bottom oxygen
concentration is highly related with the buoyancy frequency, thus, the bottom oxygen concentration can be explained by the verticalphysical mixing processes. In order to evaluate forcing conditions controlling mixing processes in the lake, we propose a nondimensional number, the ratio of two forcing into the lake, (1) time-integrated incoming heat flux and (2) horizontally-integrated surface
wind stress. The non-dimensional number is in a good correlation with the buoyancy frequency. This study found that suppressedvertical mixing causing hypoxia can be simply explained by the balance of the two surface forcings (heat flux and wind stress). In
addition, the heat budget analysis shows a contribution of the sediment hear flux to mixing processes in the lake.

A reagent-free photoreactor for high-efficient mineralization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and organic arsenic in water samples
was developed. The photoreactor penetrated the reaction tube into a mercury lamp that efficiently emits Vacuum UV light at 185
nm. The structure efficiently generated hydroxy radicals from the water in the sample and the radicals promoted rapid mineralizationof the organic compounds of carbon and arsenic within 1 min, which included refractory compounds, e.g., humic substances andarsenobetaine. The photoreactor without the use of oxidants or catalysts was useful to maintain-less and low-cost analysis of totalorganic carbon (TOC) of DOM by non-dispersive infrared radiation detection. The reagent-free photoreactor improved the sensitivity of
speciation analysis of arsenic without suppression to the following reductive hydride generation for high-sensitive inductively coupledplasma mass spectrometry. The methods for TOC and arsenic were respectively applied to real samples: DOM in river water samples
and arsenic species in human urine.

In this work, we showcased a novel graphene film composite biosensor for microcystin-LR detection as an alternative to timeconsuming, expensive, non-portable and often skills-demanding conventional methods of analysis involved in water quality monitoring
and assessment. Excellent linear correlation (R2=0.99) of the electron-transfer resistance was achieved over a wide range of MC-LR
concentration, i.e. 0.05-100 µg/L. As-prepared graphene film composite biosensors can specifically detect MC-LR with remarkablesensitivity and detection limit much lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) provisional guideline limit of microcystin-LR
concentration (i.e. 1 µg/L) in different water sources. Their great potential can be attributed to large active surface area of graphenefilm and efficient charge transfer process enabled by their high conductivity. Developed graphene film composite biosensors were also
successfully applied to determination of MC-LR in several environmental water samples with high detection recovery. The developed
technique offers a promising solution to quick in-situ detection of MC-LR in the contamination point of water source.

There are about 20,000 rivers throughout Japan. There are many places where water level gauges are not installed in small andmedium-sized rivers that account for the majority, and it is difficult to grasp the river water level in case of flooding. Since conventional
water level gauges are mainly utilized in river management, the initial investment is large and restrictions are imposed on expanding
the spread. For this reason, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport set up the "Innovative River Management Project"
aimed at new river management not bound by the conventional technical framework, and carried out pilot project in FY 2017. In
this presentation, we outline the overview specification of the crisis management type water level gauge that was developed throughparticipating in the project, processing of measured data, correspondence of maintenance free, and evaluation of verification test
result. 5 cases of observation results of floods measured during the rainy season showed stable measurements reproducing time series
information during flooding period. Among them, stable measurement with no data missing was confirmed on August 19th although
there were about 1,000 lightning strikes in 2 hours. We also make some recommendations on how to utilize water level measurement

Secchi Disk Depth (Z SD), also called transparency, is an important indicator of water quality. The manual and point-based
measurement of ZSD has a long history with more than 200 years. With the development of remote sensing, satellite image canprovide the potential for large spatial and long time-series monitoring of ZSD, which is also developing to an important way for lake
environment management. In this study, MERIS images from 2003 to 2012 were employed to retrieve ZSD in the Japanese turbid Lake
Kasumigaura. The absorption and backscattering coefficients were firstly retrieved using two versions of quasi-analytical algorithm:
QAA_V6 and QAA_turbid, and then ZSD were estimated based on the new method proposed by Lee in 2015. Results were validated
using in-situ ZSD, the RMSE and MAPE of ZSD estimated using QAA_turbid were 0.10m and 14.96% respectively, the estimated ZSD using
QAA_V6 showed overestimation with RMSE and MAPE of 0.65m and 97.83%. This indicated that ZSD estimation using absorption andbackscattering coefficients from QAA_turbid was more accurate than that from QAA_V6. Long time-series results of ZSD estimated fromMERIS using QAA_turbid matched the in-situ ZSD well, all of them showed an increase trend from 2003 to 2012 in Lake Kasumigaura.
Results in this study implied that estimation of ZSD from MERIS images is a potential way for long time-series ZSD monitoring in lakes.

Worldwide, wetland ecosystems are facing natural and anthropogenic pressures resulting in deterioration of their health andresilience. Conventional methods commonly use point physico-chemical measurements to characterize and monitor the health oflakes and aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, such methods fail to provide information in spatial domain. Advances in remote sensing
techniques, especially hyperspectral remote sensing, is fast emerging as a potential standalone tool for assessment of health of aquatic
ecosystems. In the present study, in-situ hyperspectral remote sensing was employed to test its potential for condition assessment of
Bhindawas lake, largest man-made wetland in the state of Haryana, India. Spectral reflectance data for wetland water column andrepresentative macrophyte species was collected at different sampling sites within the wetland using a SVC GER Spectroradiometer(350-1050 nm) during the year 2014 and 2015. Water samples were collected for the analysis of bio-optical water quality parameters(Chl-a, TSS and Turbidity). Various spectroscopic methods (smoothing and derivative analysis) and linear regression were used toanalyze the spectral data. Results have revealed that spectral reflectance data allows identification of various macrophyte species
which can be further utilized for species-level mapping of macrophyte distribution within the wetland. Linear regression models weredeveloped for estimation of bio-optical parameters in the wetland water column that can successfully replace the conventional fieldbased methods for wetland condition assessment.

Currently, the conditions of lakes in Indonesia have changed in terms of water surface area, especially for the main lake (larger than
10 km2). A manual method to extract the water surface area for long-term monitoring requires time, is costly and requires a lot of
resources. Nowadays, with the development of digital image processing, the manual method is no longer effective and efficient. In thisstudy, Global Surface Water provided by Google Earth Engine combined with simple polygon masking was used to identify lakes larger
than 10 km2. Results from this study show that total water surface area has increased for inland water body in Indonesia from the year
1988 until 2015. Some because of new water body formed from the former mine sites. In the other hand, some lakes decreased theirwater surface area. Lake Limboto, in the north side of Sulawesi Island, decreased by 12.8 km2 from 2001 until 2014. The objectives ofthis study are to obtain long-term monitoring water surface area for all main lakes so that it can be used to update lake information inIndonesia.

Cs concentrations of both fish species during 2016 -2017 were 855-27,738 Bq/kg-wet in masu salmon and 651-18,865 Bq/kg-wet
in white-spotted char, respectively. In all sites, 137Cs concentrations of both species collected during sampling period did not decrease
clearly. Therefore, 137Cs concentrations of both species were supposed to reach equilibrium state in the present when approximately
seven years passed from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. As a result of mark-recaptureexperiments in 2016 (experiment period: 150 days), the 137Cs accumulation rate of masu salmon was 2.5 Bq/kg/day in Site A and 24.9
Bq/kg/day in Site D, respectively. The accumulation rate was significantly faster in Site D than Site A. In addition, the accumulation rateof white-spotted char were significantly lower than that of masu salmon.

Recently, the need for high quality finished water has brought the land-use management around reservoir catchment area to the
public attention. Human activities would damage the source water quality by different levels based on the types of activities. The
objective of this study is to evaluate the impacts of anthropogenic sources on water quality around the reservoir catchment area bymonitoring the occurrence of selected contaminants, including four pesticides (glyphosate, glufosinate, fenthion and thiophanatemethyl), one antibiotics (oxytetracycline) and one endocrine disrupting substance (bisphenol A) to reflect the pollution from agricultural
run-off, aquaculture wastes and domestic sewage, respectively. Basic water quality parameters were also acquired to examine therelation between water qualities and the occurrence of trace organic pollutants. Samples were collected every month from March toJuly in 2017 near a reservoir located in southern Taiwan. Results showed bisphenol A exists ubiquitously and glyphosate concentration
varies along with farmer’s behavior. Glyphosate concentration was positively correlated to ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus
and inversely correlated to dissolved oxygen. As for oxytetracycline, its polluted area was not as wide as bisphenol A and glyphosate,
indicating the aquaculture activities was limited in the area. Overall, this study revealed that the occurrence of selected contaminants
can be surrogates to indicate human pollution.

In Japan, Escherichia coli (E.coli ) is now being discussed as the alternative current fecal pollution indicator, total coliforms (TC). It
is believed that E.coli is better indicator than TC due to its specificity for fecal contamination from warm blood animals. However,
how much does the E.coli in water environment come from human or other animals feces is not understood well. In this study, we
conducted whole genome analysis of E.coli isolates from southern part of Lake Biwa, and influent and effluent of wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) located there by using next-generation sequencing. Also, we analyzed whole genome sequence of ampicillinresistant E.coli from southern part of Lake Biwa and WWTP effluents. Based on the sequence of whole genome from E.coli isolates, we
conducted multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) analysis, phylogroup identification, and phylogenetic tree analysis. Microbial source
tracking analysis also conducted using 13 host specific genetic markers for human, cow, pig, and chicken feces to identify the sourceof each E.coli isolate. Results in this study indicate that majority of E.coli in the Lake biwa was from chicken and cow, not human feces.
On the other hand, sources of ampicillin-resistant E.coli in the Lake Biwa were both chicken and human feces.

AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS BASED ON DISSOLVED METHANE AND NITROUS OXIDEMEASUREMENTS
Yuzuru Kimochi, Hitoshi Tanaka
Center for Environmental Science in Saitama
We constructed and proposed a method to estimate the dissolved oxygen (DO) deficiency in aquatic environments with time spread
ranging from hours to an entire day, with measurement of dissolved methane (DCH4) and nitrous oxide (DN2O). Based on the results of
the water purification experiment, the determination threshold of the DO deficiency in this method was set to 0.025 mgC/L and 0.003
mgN/L for DCH4 and DN2O, respectively. Next, the threshold value was verified from continuous monitoring in actual ponds and dataof past literature. As a result, although it may be necessary to set a value for each field, since at least detection of DCH4 reflects theoccurrence of an anaerobic environment, it can be used for screening of a detailed investigation site related to DO depletion. In thisway, the most important merit of our method is that the method can be used to estimate previous DO levels especially, without theneed for continuous DO monitoring. In addition, as sampling of dissolved gases by the headspace method is simple, a large number ofgas samples can be collected efficiently by field survey and analyzed collectively by laboratory etc. It can be analyzed with GC-FID for
CH4 and GC-ECD for N2O: both analytical instruments are relatively inexpensive and easy to introduce. Applying this method to similarlakes can be expected if knowledge about thresholds is accumulated and diversified in various regions, climate, lake size (breadth anddepth), eutrophication level, etc.

Twelve veterinary drugs were monitored at four rivers in Yodo River watershed, Japan over 17 sampling events. Among the fivefrequently detected veterinary drugs, mass flux in the river was significantly correlated with human population in the catchment forthree veterinary drugs substantially used by humans, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, and sulfadimethoxine. Sources of the three would
be sewage treatment plants and household septic tanks. On the other hand, mass fluxes of the remaining two, sulfamonomethoxine
and lincomycin, in the rivers showed positive correlation with swine population in the catchment, although sulfamonomethoxine isequally used in both cattle and swine farming. This was attributable to application of cattle excrement as manure, and lability ofsulfamonomethoxine during composting processes. The major source of the two would be on-site treatment facilities of swine urine.

Sedimentation in a dam reservoir is one of the important issues to overcome for utilizing the reservoir over a long term. In orderto solve this, in Japan, sediment supply from reservoirs to their downstream rivers has been attempted. However, there is limited
knowledge on the impacts on the water quality just after the sediment supply. In this study, leaching tests of heavy metals fromreservoir sediments were conducted to evaluate the occurrences of heavy metals at the downstream after sediment supply. As a result,manganese (Mn) was considered as the dominant and concerned heavy metal in the assumed case. In addition, short-term toxicity
test was conducted to determine the toxicity of Mn to Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes ) and the No Observed Effect Concentration(NOEC) was derived as 5 mg-Mn/L. The Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) / the Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC)
ratio regarding to Mn was obtained from the result of leaching tests as 0.015 which was much lower than the value (4.67) obtained
from the data of Mn contents in the sediment. It was indicated that leaching from sediment is an important factor to evaluate theenvironmental risk of Mn to fishes just after an event of sediment supply.

The author has developed process-based National Integrated Catchment-based Eco-hydrology (NICE) model to integrate coupledhuman and natural systems and to assess impact of water degradation on ecosystem change. Here, the author further developed
an advanced model coupling eco-hydrology and biogeochemical cycle (NICE-BGC), which incorporates the whole process of carbon
cycling including surface runoff, groundwater, weathering, CO2 evasion and sediment storage in water, and outflow to the ocean.
Because the new model included CO2 evasion and lateral carbon transport explicitly, the result suggests most previous researches
have generally overestimated the accumulation of terrestrial carbon and underestimated the potential for lateral transport. The model
result also showed that there is a great variability of DOC, POC, and DIC transport to the ocean reflecting biologic and hydrologic
processes, and CO2 degassing affected by both terrestrially derived CO2 and CO2 production through aquatic metabolism.

In this research, uncertainty of the future climate change was investigated by continuous long term monitoring and validation of thesimulated temperature obtained with SIPHERTM model. Model was calibrated and validated for 2012 - 2016 from water temperaturecollected across 8 stations in Takasaki river, Chiba, Japan. Water quality parameters namely, water temperature, water depth, andelectrical conductivity were measured at every 10 minute interval with sensors. Monthly average of the observed and simulated watertemperature for stations with higher pervious areas was found to be close to each other (R2 > 0.90). In general, it was observedthat the simulated temperature obtained with SIPHER model was less reproducible for small basin (R2 < 0.90). Future metrologicalparameters were predicted with CNRM-CM5 general circulation model. Impact of climate change in river water was then done for thepresent (2000 - 2010) and future (2060 - 2070) decade. Monthly average future temperature decreased by at least - 0.2 OC in DecJan-Feb-Mar, and increased by 1.2 OC in October, and at least 0.2 OC in Apr-May-Jun-July-Aug-Sep. It is confirmed that due to climatechange, temperature in winter decreases whereas it increases in summer.

Stream flow is very important in water cycle and a useful water resource to sustain human life. However, estimation of stream flowin an ungauged catchment still poses a challenge. Hydrological models are one of the commonly used techniques for the discharge
simulation in ungauged stations. This paper focusses on the estimation of stream flow in the Loktak Lake catchment (part of theManipur river basin) using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture
which analyzes the stream flow based on Digital Elevation Model (DEM), soil map, land use map and meteorological dataset. The
SWAT tool was run for the year 1999-2002 on 2 gauged sub-catchments (Nambul and Iril), which are calibrated and validated using
the observed discharge. Calibration was carried out using manual iterative process and the evaluation of the model was done using
Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE) coefficient. The results between observed and modelled flow showed agreement with NSE value
0.837 for Iril River and 0.837 for Nambul River. These results were used to estimate the ungauged sub-catchment flows. The results
show high variation in discharge of all the rivers with high discharge during monsoon season and low in the other month of the year.
The highest flow was found in Iril followed by Thoubal. This assessment can be helpful in generating the water balance of Loktak Lake

Center,Okijyuku, Tsuchiura, Ibaraki 300-0023, Japan, 4Research Centre for Limnology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences(LIPI), Bogor, West JavaA simple data pre-processing to minimize the atmospheric effects and improve data quality was proposed to build a model for
estimating Secchi Depth (SD) from Landsat TM and ETM+ data. The model intended to be simply applicable without requirement of insitu data for both atmospheric correction and model recalibration. Rayleigh scattering effects were removed using 6S software. Medianfilters were applied iteratively to improve the low Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Aerosol scattering effects in visible bands were reduced using
the SWIR band. The reflectance extracted from pre-processed Landsat images and corresponding in-situ SD measurements from 9
lakes collected from 2011 to 2014 (ranging from 0.5 m to 18.6 m) were used for model calibration. Other in situ SD measurementsfrom 31 Lakes collected in 1992-1993 (ranging from 0.4 m to 20 m) were used to validate the developed model. A long-term changeof SD in Lake Maninjau estimated from the model was also compared with in situ data collected from 2001-2017 for anothervalidation. Results show that the developed model provides acceptable result and robust estimates SD for both several different lakes
in 1992 and long-term change SD of Lake Maninjau with determination coefficients of 0.81(with RMSE of 2.59 m, n=31) and 0.46 (withRMSE of 1.22 m, n=17) respectively. These results indicate that the developed model is simply applicable and has a potential to fill the
SD data gap for further water environment studies.

The characteristics of natural organic matter (NOM) in the Agongdian Reservoir (AGD) and its inflowing rivers and discharging
sources during the periods with or without transbasin diversion are compared using dissolved organic carbon (DOC) measurements
and fluorescence spectroscopy methods. The fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (FEEM) method was applied to characterize
the NOM into five organic groups, including type I simple aromatic protein (API), type II simple aromatic protein (APII), fulvic acid-like
substances (FA), soluble microbial by-product-like material (SMP) and humic acid-like substances (HA). Although the main fractions of
NOM are FA and HA during both periods, the average fluorescence intensity (AFI) of each group as well as the levels of DOC obtained
during transbasin diversion are lower, indicating that the transbasin diversion water may not be a significant source of NOM. The total
AFI of API, APII and SMP links well with the levels of human activities, and shows that discharging sources in the Wanglai tributary are
the hotspots of NOM. Comparing to the non-transbasin-diversion period, the levels of total AFI are easier to be explained by the levels
of DOC during transbasin diversion. Characterizing the distribution patterns of NOMs in a catchment area of source water provides
useful information for identifying potential NOM sources.

long time to analysis. Therefore, with the cooperation of related research institutes in the Lake Biwa-Yodo River Basin (Shiga Pref.,Kyoto Pref., Osaka Pref. and Hyogo Pref.), a two-year work was carried out. It was organized the water quality situation, the influence ofeach watershed, and the efforts of municipalities, and they systematically has compiled the knowledge of each target water so that it
will be a handbook of non-biodegradable organic matter. In particular, the method of biodegradability test was unified for accumulatescientific knowledge in the future, and was proposed the "standard biodegradability test method". It is expected that accumulationof more data will be advanced by this analytical method. Moreover, it could be made possible to understand the situation of nonbiodegradable organic matter in the entire basin.

TS7-1 RESTORATION OF LOCH LEVEN: SUSTAININGECOSYSTEM SERVICES
Brian Dʼarcy

Independent environmental consultant, & Partner C&D Associates LLP Co-founderconsulting gateway
Loch Leven is the largest lowland lake (loch) in Scotland (13.3km 2) and is relatively shallow (mean depth 3.9m) with a large
surface area in relation to its catchment (Smith 1974). Historically, water quality was good at the turn of the 20th century, but
deteriorated as industrial development and increases in the size of the villages and town in the catchment, resulted in phosphaterich effluents draining into the loch. A condition of hyper-eutrophication developed, with varying periods of improvement followed
by slippage in quality.
The catchment of the loch is mainly mixed agricultural, with some forestry in the hills. Diffuse sources of nutrients became
increasingly important as restoration efforts focused on the effluent discharges were successful, leaving diffuse pollution as theprincipal challenge.
Social and economic activities provided by the loch have included:・Drainage and effluent disposal
・Nature conservation (it is a designated National Nature Reserve, and a Ramsar Wetland)
・Angling (trout)・Bird-watching (an RSPB reserve adjoins the loch)
・Informal recreation (walking and cycling in the area)
・Hydropower generation (downstream industries fed by the loch outflow)
・Local economic benefits (lake-associated tourism, including accommodation and use of shops, cafes etc by visitors and local
people too)
The deteriorating water quality adversely affected the above in varying ways explored in this paper. Ecosystem services(provisioning, regulating and cultural) have been discussed in relation to Loch Leven by May and Spears (2012), exploring the interrelated impacts of various factors and actions. This paper documents changes to community benefits since the quality of the loch
improved (associated with the loch, but not necessarily due to the water quality).
The pollution and restoration history of Loch Leven has been variously described in earlier papers (D’Arcy 1991, D’Arcy et al
2006, May et al 2012). The nature and basis of the controls implemented during the recovery period is set out in this paper. That
included work with the textile mill, and determining appropriate best practice discharge standards for the municipal sewage
effluents. The regulatory effort included enforcement actions with various polluters in the catchment to raise awareness of therequirements for better quality in the tributary watercourses and hence the loch. That work included a focus on combined sewer
overflows and pumping station discharges too. From the mid 1990s, awareness of the nature and importance of diffuse sourcesof pollution increased and a series of initiatives with local farmers, agricultural advisors and the River Purification Board (later
SEPA) led to the establishment of a suite of diffuse pollution controls (D’Arcy and Frost 2003). Creativity in finding means to fundmeasures such as buffer strips and reduced nutrient additions was a feature of effective work during that period. (References given

TS7-2 A PERSPECTIVE ON WATER ENVIRONMENTMANAGEMENT IN JAPANESE LAKES
Mitsumasa Okada

The Open University of JapanThe management of water environment in Japanese lakes and reservoirs started in 1970’s by theenvironmental water quality standard such as CODMn to prevent serious problems in water uses causedby organic pollution. Effluent regulations were also started by the Water Pollution Prevention Act tosatisfy with the standard. However, percent compliance of the environmental water quality standard
on COD Mn did not improve and various problems associated with eutrophication were reported.
Additional environmental water quality standards and related effluent regulations both for nitrogen andphosphorus started in 1982 to cope with eutrophication. Also, the Law Concerning Special Measures
for Conservation of Lake Water Quality (1984) was enacted to control non-point sources, regulate
total loading of pollutants and protect lakeshore ecotone vegetation. However, only a half of lakes
and reservoirs could satisfy with the environmental water quality standards even in 50 years. Also,
The new environmental
COD Mn increased in some lakes irrespective of the reduction of loadings.
water quality standards on benthic dissolved oxygen concentration and littoral zone transparency wereenacted as new targets of comprehensive water environment management. Also, adaption to climatechange is a new challenge in Japanese lakes and reservoirs.

Lake Kasumigaura is important water source for Ibaraki Prefectural Public Enterprise Bureau. However, organic matter and musty
odor in the lake tend to be more than other sources, so it is a serious problem to be reduce these substances. We have carriedout water quality survey of Lake Kasumigaura for 22 years, and divided the data into 4 phases and analyzed. It was found that the
dissolved organic carbon tended to increase in summer in each phase and decrease as the phase changed. In addition, a uniquetendency was observed that the musty odor in Lake Kasumigaura occurred at high concentrations from winter to spring. Also, one ofthem, geosmin, was found to be positively correlated with turbidity, which suggested the possibility of occurrence prediction. Overall,
the water quality of the lake have shown better trend than the worst phase in recent years. However, since the concentrations oforganic matter and musty odor tend to be still higher than other sources, we will continue this survey and to observe the water qualityof Lake Kasumigaura carefully.

technology of “flocculation” and “magnetic separation”. The FMS can effectively remove SS and phosphorous from raw water in ashort retention time. Accordingly the treatment retention time is 2 minutes and 40 seconds; that is, reduced to one thirtieth (1/30) as
compared with a conventional solid-liquid separation. The design capacity of the demonstration plant is 10,000m3/d. The raw water
intake is in a closed water area of Lake Kasumigaura, from where it is taken into the facility, SS and phosphorous are removed, and thetreated water is returned to the Lake. The demonstration test was implemented from 2013 to 2017, during which the treated water
generally achieved the target water quality (SS : less than 5mg/L, Total-phosphorous : 0.03mg/L) throughout the test period.

O7-3	VALUE-CHAIN ANALYSIS - AN ASSESSMENT APPROACH TO ESTIMATE LAKENASSER FISHERIES PERFORMANCE
Ahmed Mohamed Nasr-AllahWorldFish
Although, the fishery in Lake Nasser has existed for more than 40 years, the economic and financial performance of its fisheriesbased businesses not well understood. The current study aimed to improve understanding of fisheries value chain performance in Lake
Nasser. Individual interviews and focus group discussions with fishers, traders, and processors were used to collect quantitative andqualitative information about financial performance, employment creation and critical factors impacting performance of each nodethroughout the chain.
Tilapias account for 75%, while pebbly fish and tigerfish account for 13% of capture. Fish processing is an important subsector
as some fish species (mainly tigerfish and pebbly fish) are only consumed after going through a salting process. Fishers obtained a
relatively low percentage (49%) of the final consumer price. Average catch per fisher per day was 20 kg and average total cost in thethree fishing harbours was EGP 5210/t. One hundred tons of fish caught and sold provides an average 29.99 Full-Time equivalent jobs
(FTE).
The current study suggests that the fishery is under pressure from overfishing. Critical factors facing the fisheries sector and impacting
profitability are numerous. This value chain study improve our understanding of the performance of fisheries sector in Lake Nasser andidentified limiting factors and action needed to support fisheries development in the Lake.

There are many problems related to overgrowth of aquatic weeds in many lakes and rivers throughout the world. In Japan, thecosts for harvesting are increasing year to year by 200 million Japanese yens (equivalent to 1.8 million USD) a year in Lake Biwa.
Historically, aquatic weeds were harvested for use as fertilizer in agriculture in Japan, but are no longer used now, because chemicalfertilizers more effectively promote plant growth, and are easier and cheaper to use than the macrophytes. Thus, developing effective
ways of utilizing aquatic macrophytes is important for resolving this issue. In addition, sustainably harvesting the aquatic weeds isalso important for lake ecosystem management, because aquatic weeds play a key role in lake ecosystems as nursery grounds andrefuges for other small organisms living in the littoral area. Therefore, management and effective utilization of aquatic weeds throughsustainable harvesting may play an important role in the conservation of lake ecosystems. In this presentation, a recycling system using
anaerobic digestion (AD) of submerged macrophytes, which were sustainably harvested from lakes, and micro-algal mass culturingwith the AD effluent was introduced as a new technique for the conservation of lake ecosystems.

This study focuses on freshwater ecosystem services that support hydropower plants (HPP)/dams development in the Kura-Aras River
Basin in Azerbaijan. The study assesses the HPP/dams sector, and reviews additional sectors including nature-based tourism, irrigatedagriculture, and drinkable water supply. In addition, the study briefly discusses the role and value of ES that help to mitigate natural
hazards related to poor ecosystems management.
The study used a basic Targeted Scenario Analysis (TSA) approach. The TSA assesses current “business as usual (BAU)” ecosystems
management practices and its current value of ecosystems services under BAU. It uses sector output indicators and compares withpotential “sustainable ecosystems management (SEM)” outputs to assess losses and potential gains (or losses) of shifting from BAU to
SEM. The BAU approach is characterized by a focus on short-term gains (e.g., < 10 years), externalization of impacts and their costs,
and little or no recognition of the economic value of ES, which are typically depleted or degraded. Under SEM, the focus is on longterm gains (> 10 years); also under SEM, the costs of impacts are internalized. Ecosystem services are maintained, thus generating
potential for a long-term flow of ecosystem goods and services that can enter into decision making. SEM practices tend to support
ecosystem sustainability as a practical and cost-effective way to realize long-run profits.

Public Works Research InstituteTo establish the whole effluent toxicity (WET) test specific to evaluation of sewage effluent, we examined the sensitivities of
Zebrafish (Danio rerio ) and Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes ). In the test of sensitivities to three chemicals (nickel chloride, ammonium

showed that the sensitivities to chemicals were similar in D. rerio and O. latipes . In the WET test for the sewage effluent, NOEC valuesof the influent were the same (40%) as D. rerio and O. latipes . The NOEC value was over 80% in the test of second effluent using D. rerio.
On the other hand, the NOEC value of secondary effluent could not be obtained from the test by O. latipes , because surface of eggs
allowed microorganisms to grow in water samples diluted in 20 and 40%. From these reasons, D. rerio is recommended to be used toevaluate wastewater in the WET assay.

This paper deals with field experiments conducted in actual brackish environment (Hinuma lake/river and Naka river) to investigate
the effects of sediment and water quality on antioxidant capacity of Corbicula japonica. For sediment experiments, clams were
cultivated on sediments with adjusted contents of clay/slit (3.7, 20.2 and 33.1%). For water quality experiments, clams were placedin water of totally five sites. It is observed that sediment with clay/silt content of 33.1% decreased in oxygen radical absorbancecapacity (ORAC) within two weeks, while sediments with those of 3.7 and 20.2% had no changes. The results indicate that the effects
of sediment with up to ~20% of clay/silt content can be neglected on ORAC assay. On the other hand, Naka river had a large variationin salinity, which was different salinity condition to Hinuma lake/river. ORAC assay showed that there were significant differences
between Naka River and Hinuma River (p<0.05). To estimate the water quality parameters that affect ORAC, multiple regression
analysis was carried out. The results revealed that ORAC values were affected by variations in salinity and turbidity. In particular,
variations in the two parameters during the past two days determined ORAC of brackish bivalve C. japonica.

To assess water environment from the viewpoints of conservation of aquatic organisms, biomarkers such as an antioxidant capacity
have been studied so far. However, interpretation of the indices values is difficult because of biochemical-level responses. Therefore,
it is important to clarify the relationship between the biomarker responses and individual-level responses such as the growth oforganisms. In this study, we developed a simple and modified method of scope for growth (SFG) for brackish water bivalve Corbicula
Japonica based on carbon mass balance. Applying this method to clams exposed to natural water quality factors (suspended
solids, water temperature and salinity) and anthropogenic water quality factor (municipal wastewater), the responses of SFG were
investigated. Additionally, the relationship to the responses of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) were assessed. Totally 16
experiments with changing the natural and anthropogenic water quality factors showed that a single effect of municipal wastewater(five times dilution) and those of two-factor interaction between municipal wastewater (five times dilution) and salinity were identified(p <0.05). Negative correlation was found between SFG and ORAC under exposure of natural water quality factors (p <0.05). On
the other hand, no clear correlation was observed when adding municipal wastewater as an anthropogenic factor (p >0.05). The
clarification of the mechanism is next issue to understand the phenomena. From the findings, we conclude that SFG is useful tointerpret the responses of antioxidant capacity in Corbicula Japonica .

Improvement of the eutrophication phenomena in a enclosed water area is desired. Eutrophication phenomena cause impaired
scenery. This study was conducted for evaluating effect of several types of extract from steelmaking slag on sedimentation of Microcystis
aeruginosa , which is blue-green algae. At the same time, we examined the minimum effective dose of the extract from steelmaking slag.
In addition, Daphnia magna was used in an immobilization test to evaluate influence on zooplankton by cationic elements from the acidextraction. As a result, sedimentation of algae was observed by some extracts from steelmaking slag. The large effect on sedimentationof algae was obtained when 0.8ml of acid extraction from steelmaking slag. As a result of immobilization test, Daphnia magna wassuffered from a negative effect by acid extract from steelmaking slag. From these results, we concluded that this studies cleared thatextract from steelmaking slag have blue-green algae sedimentation effect. However, the method is not applicable in actual water areas
because of toxic for zooplankton at present. Decrease of the poisonous effect by acid extract from steelmaking slag is necessary for
applying in actual water areas.

UF (ultrafiltration) membrane has been widely applied in worldwide for not only drinking water production but also waste water
treatment and pre-treatment of seawater desalination. The operation and maintenance of the membrane filtration system is relatively
easier than existing water treatment technologies, but know-how and experience of experts are necessary to realize appropriate
operation management following with changing raw water quality and environment from hour to hour. Therefore, on-line monitoring
operation system was developed with integration of UF simulation technology to achieve quantitative prediction of TMP (Trans
Membrane Pressure) trends during the operation of UF membrane system with changing raw water and environmental conditions. The
major advantages of this system are as follows. (1) It is possible (a) to control product water management for the water production
stop during CIP (cleaning in place), (b) to arrange and prepare operators and chemicals in advance. (2) Chemical deterioration of
membrane due to excessive CIP is avoidable by ensuring the appropriate timing and CIP condition based on quantified prediction. (3)Deterioration of UF membrane performance due to CIP delay is also avoidable.

Putatan Water Treatment Plant 1 (PWTP 1) is vital in Maynilad’s aim of providing new water sources to the south of Metro Manila’s West Concessionaire Zone. The plant obtains its waters from the brackish Laguna Lake, which has a turbidity of 100-200 NTU anda seasonal taste and odor problem, among others. The plant has a design capacity of 150 million liters per day (MLD) at the end of
2015, but it only reached and exceeded this nameplate capacity by the middle of 2017. The challenges in lake water quality, as wellas other difficulties, were addressed by these five general aspects: (1) inculcating the safety culture in the plant such as implementationof self-evaluation of the safety of the personnel’s tasks, (2) improvement of process streams such as the inclusion of biologicalaerated filters (BAF) to address ammonia, (3) re-organization of personnel such as the addition of the technical wing, (4) maintenanceschedules, which cater to the production demand, and (5) changes in operational philosophies, especially in cleaning of ultrafiltration(UF) membranes. These developments have increased the total treated water to the reservoir by a 36% difference from the 2015 to
the 2017 yearly average, which means more water is provided to the community.

Stormwater runoffs are one of the primary causes for deteriorating water quality in the Nainital Lake, a lake of national importancein Himalayan region of India. The Nainital lake is a prominent tourist attraction and the sole drinking water source for the habitantsof Nainital city. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of pollutants of Lake’s catchment area and performanceassessment of Ballasted Sand Flocculation (BSF) technology during monsoon season of year 2017. A 1 MLD capacity pilot plant
was installed (land space: 54 sq.m.) and applied for treatment of stormwater runoffs from Nainital Lake’s catchment. A conventional
treatment method would require large land footprint, which is a big constraint in the Nainital because of hilly region. The water quality
results showed marked variation during different storms especially for TSS, TP, COD, FC, Cu, Pb and Zn with maximum concentrationof 864 mg/l, 1.2 mg/l, 388 mg/l, 14x104 MPN/100 ml,73µg/l, 83 µg/l and 890 µg/l respectively. The performance analyses result of
the pilot plant revealed that the contaminants including trace metals in the stormwater runoff were reduced appreciably. The removal
efficiency of Turbidity, TSS, Total Phosphorous, COD, FC, Cu, Pb and Zn are 86-96%, 69-93%, 75-95%, 41-82%, 61-96%, 40-82%, 5687% and 51-77% respectively. The performance analysis results of BSF system have been found to be a promising technology fortreatment of storm runoff.

Nutrient runoff into aquatic systems leads to eutrophication. The Institute for Clean Earth developed a new technology using
terrestrial microalga (a drought-tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc sp.) that could reduce the amount of nutrients in surface runoff. The
field-scale experiments examined whether the technology would reduce the water-soluble nutrients in the topsoils in water’s edges.
The experimental approach consisted of the following: assessment of the topsoil nutrient runoff risk, application of the technology, andevaluation of the efficacy. For the assessment, the topsoils were collected from various types of water’s edges. Unexpectedly, mostunfertilized topsoils around lakes (Biwa-ko, Imba-numa and Kasumiga-ura) and in planting beds, contained high amounts of watersoluble inorganic nutrients: above 1.2 kg N/ha and above 0.2 kg P/ha. Algal inoculated plots and the control (plots without algal
inoculation) were used in the application experiments. The reduction values of N and P amounts in the topsoils were estimated to befrom 1.3 to 5.4 kg N/ha, and 0.4 to 1.6 kg P/ha. Judged these values from the published information, the results suggest that the algal
inoculation onto the topsoil is a promising technology for reducing water-soluble inorganic N and P in surface runoff.

Itako Sewage Treatment Center in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, discharges treated water into Lake Kasumigaura Basin. To reduce thenitrogen load on Lake Kasumigaura, we examined improvement of nitrogen removal rate during sewage treatment in which activatedsludge is used. We changed the treatment flow in the reaction tank that was divided into six sections tanks from anaerobic-anoxicanoxic-anoxic-aerobic-aerobic to anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic-anoxic-aerobic-aerobic (upstream to downstream). By changing the thirdtank to an aerobic tank, we promoted nitrification in the third tank and denitrification in the fourth tank. The results confirmed that
nitrogen was removed as nitrate nitrogen generated in the third tank, which was subsequently denitrified in the fourth tank. In addition,
denitrification was observed in the third tank, which was aerobic. The amount of nitrogen removed by the aerobic third tank was
higher than that by the anoxic fourth tank. Denitrification in the aerobic tanks is due to simultaneous nitrification-denitrification under
low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions. Optimization of DO that takes simultaneous nitrification-denitrification in the aerobic tanks into
consideration, in addition to denitrification in the anoxic tanks, would probably further improve the nitrogen removal rate.

The study was focused on pilot scale experiments in order to understand the impact of carbon removal and nitrogen removal
configuration on phthalate removal in an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) system which can be used to save lakes and fresh
water sources from pollution. To achieve these objectives, four priority phthalates (DEP, DBP, BBP and DEHP) were chosen. Run I wascarbon removal process and run II was nitrogen removal process. It was observed that during run I when there was intensive carbon
removal process, the percentage removal was in the range of 40 - 78% (DEP), 64 - 85% (DBP), 40 -98% (BBP) and 65 - 90% (DEHP)
respectively. Comparatively to run I, the percentage removal in run II, the percentage removal of phthalates varied over a smaller range.
The range of percentage removal in run II increased to 84 - 96% (DEP), 83 - 97% (DBP), 85 - 99% (BBP) and 87 - 95% (DEHP). During run I,
there were fluctuations in the removal of DEP, DBP and BBP with average removal of 60 ± 13%, 75 ± 8% and 76 ± 21% respectively.
During run II, when the anoxic zone was developed with inlet diversion, the removal of all four phthalates was steady and higher. The
maximum contribution to the overall removal was observed in the secondary oxic tank in both operational runs. Biodegradation wasobserved a main contributor to the overall removal. Mass balance calculations showed that during run I, 62% of influent DEP, 65% of
influent DBP, 68% of influent BBP and 61% of influent DEHP was removed by biodegradation while as during run II, 90% of influent DEP,
90% of influent DBP, 91% of influent BBP and 89% of influent DEHP was removed by biodegradation.

Three full-scale systems wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from Thailand, United States of America (USA), and Japan wereused as study sites. All of these WWTPs were designed and operated for biological nitrogen removal (BNR) by using nitrificationdenitrification processes. In general, the WWTPs in Thailand operated at higher values of temperature, HRT and SRT comparison to
USA and Japanese WWTPs. Influents and effluents from these sites are compared and discussed in terms of BNR, dominant nitrifying
and ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) microorganisms, and WWTP engineering design. Polymerase chain reaction coupled withdenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was used to identify dominant bacteria involved in nitrogen transformations: ammonia-oxidizing
bacteria (AOB), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), and nitrate reducing bacteria (NRB). AOB Nitrosomonas sp. was found only in Thailand
where aerobic HRT was 4 hours and SRT was higher than 15 days. Furthermore, AOB Nitrosospira sp. were found only in Japan ataerobic HRT lower than 4 hours and SRT higher than 13. NOB Nitrospira sp. was found at aerobic HRT higher than 4 hours and SRT
higher than 6 days. Interestingly, Nitrotoga sp. was found in the aerobic tank one in Thailand and one in Japan and co-occurred with
NRB Burkholderia denitrificans . The higher wastewater temperature and lower influent nitrogen concentration in Thailand appear topromote a different AOB and NOB community structure than in Japan. The conditions at the Thai WWTP promoted the dominance of

For environmental conservation of closed water bodies such as lakes and bays, the promotion of wastewater treatment facilities
that can remove not only BOD but also nitrogen, one of the causes of water-bloom and red tide, is desirable. To apply Japanese
johkasou to other countries, it is necessary to modify the design of johkasou to harmonize with the local life style and environmental
characteristics. For this purpose, this study examined the localization of Japanese johkasou for the EU region where the performance
evaluation method for such facilities has been established. Focusing on the amount of wastewater and the pollutant load which differ
in the performance evaluation tests between EU and Japan, an EU-oriented facility was designed with BOD volumetric load equal to
Japanese facility. This facility was experimented in France, and the results were compared to those of the Japanese prototype model.
As a result, the effluent quality of the EU-oriented facility was maintained at the same level as the Japanese model even when theinfluent BOD load increased to 120% of the preset value. This result indicates that the most common design method in Japan using
BOD volumetric load is effective for designing EU-oriented facilities, but there is a possibility that the volume of the facility may beover-designed. Furthermore, to maintain the ability to remove nitrogen, it is important to the keep the water temperature in the facility
above 13 °C.

In Lake Inba-numa, located in the north-west of Chiba prefecture, the lake water is drained from Owada drainage pumping station to control
flooding. However, the Alligatorweed, the Invasive Alien Species (IAS), are overgrown in the tributary rivers flowing through the lake and theydrift to, attached to and block the screen of the pumping system in times of flooding. To prevent them from negatively affecting the drainage
pumping function as a flood-control measure, the attached Alligatorweed are removed from the pumping system by hand or by the use ofheavy machines. In order to avoid this situation in advance, Chiba prefecture, involving its local citizen and student volunteers, are engaging
in removal activities of Alligatorweed. This research paper illustrates the background, present situation and the future challenges regarding
the problems of Alligatorweed in the Lake Inba-numa. Subsequently, it looks into the local cooperation cultivated in the course of activities
related to Alligatorweed and examines the possibility for local revitalization through solving the problems. Additionally, as these activities canbe considered to be related to the conservation of biodiversity, which is one of the concrete policies towards achieving SDGs, the necessity
to strengthen cross-cutting cooperation is suggested.

This study aimed to collect the information on water use, hygiene and sanitation and waterborne diseases among people living on
the lake and the lakeshore. The stratified sampling survey was conducted in three regions around Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) involving a
total of 542 families, which were randomly selected for the interview, comprised of 202 Land base (LB) households, 132 Water-landedbase (WLB) households and 208 Water base (WB) households. The results of the survey showed that TSL water was the principle
drinking water source of WB population (52.9%). For populations in LB, well water was the main drinking water source (71.8%).
Related to water treatment systems, 53.5% of LB, 34.9% of WLB and 22.6% of WB used filtration system to treat their drinking water.
Boiling of water for drinking was done by 37.1%, 20.5% and 32.7%, of LB, WLB and WB, respectively. Diarrhea and severe diarrhea
were waterborne diseases frequently found in this study. Diarrhea disease was found in 60.4%, 80.3% and 79.8%of adults, 39.8%,
61.3% and 75.3% of children under 5 years old and 42.4%, 67.1% and 72.9% ofolder children and adolescents, for LB, WLB and WB,
respectively. People living in WB and WLB zones seems to have high incidence of diarrhea disease as compare to that living in LB zone.
This may be due to the drinking water source, water treatment systems and flooded experiences.

Lake Malawi collects surface and ground water from the west bank. Water pollution of the lake is mainly caused by poor sanitation,
domestic and agricultural waste waters. The rural communities still face famine, due to poor infrastructure hindering from theireconomic growth. Malawi rural communities need comprehensive development models that could solve the problems of infrastructuresuch as safe drinking water supply, proper hygiene and sanitation, and agricultural food security. Nippon International Cooperation
for Community Development (NICCO) with Kyoto University implemented the comprehensive development projects for seven years.
in two prefectures of Malawi covering about 3,600 families of 18,000 people, in the support of Mitsui & Co .Environment Fund, JICA
and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. The programs of safe water supply and eco-logical sanitation (Eco-san) were essential toprotect water environment of Lake Malawi. This paper discusses success, failure and the further problems of the ecological sanitation
approach.

Lake Victoria faces serious water pollution by point and non-point sources. As to point pollution control, it is all most impossible
to construct sewerage systems to all communities. House-hold sanitation system is instead affordable and preferable. Nippon
International Cooperation for Community Development (NICCO) with the support of Kyoto University implemented an ecologicalsanitation project in Bushiangala Village of Kakamega County, Kenya, since 2014. It is a comprehensive village development, but watersupply and ecological sanitation are key components to boost agricultural products and improve income. Along the comprehensive
development project, women are strongly involved in the project so that women status is elevated. Nitrogen and phosphorus of point
sources are derived from 35 million people of the entire catchment of Lake Victoria. Total construction cost of one million Eco-san
toilets is estimated to be 300 US$ x one million which is most economical solution for water and sanitation issue that is the number six
target of SDGs, clean water and sanitation.

We developed a method of effectively purifying wastewater and drinking water by the self-purification of surface soil. In this method,
polluted water is purified by infiltrating and biological adsorption for running it in a carrier of a thin chamber. We called this method“Slanted-Soil-Chamber Method”. The purification properties of this method are as follows: (1) a low energy consumption type aerobic
purification unnecessary for aeration, (2) concurrent purification of organic pollutants and nutrients, (3) shortening of the hydraulicretention time by separating pollutants and the water, (4) strong ability of decomposing organic substance in the chamber, (5) sludge
volume loses weight by the advanced food chain, etc. Purification tests for the drinking water were conducted in Sri Lanka and
Bangladesh. In the former, raw water with an average BOD of 37mg/L, which could not be treated by the Slow Sand Filter Method,
was treated with good results. We got high quality treated water. In the latter, well water contaminated with heavy metals was
purified. Iron, manganese and arsenic purification was confirmed. The results of these experiments show that Slanted-Soil-Chamber
Method is an economical and an energy-saving aerobic purification of wastewater and drinking water.

Water is one of the most important global resources. Thai people have been facing both quantitativeand qualitative problems of water for decades. Northern region is the main headwater of Thailand
where Ping, Wang, Yom and Nan watersheds are located. The heads of those 4 rivers are extremely
important for Thai people. The four communities including MaeLaOop, MaeChiangRaiLum, PhaTang and
DongPhapoon were selected as case studies which located in Ping, Wang, Yom and Nan watershed
respectively. Each watershed locates in various geographic conditions. The people analyzed and solved
their own problems by different ways of management. MaeLaOop community, representative of Pingwatershed, came across the drought and flood seasonal problems by designing and constructing
three-layer check dams. These check dams worked also as “wet firebreak” to limit the forest fire area.
PhaTang community, representative of Yom watershed, has been facing flooding and soil erosion
problems in rainy season. The local people constructed numbers of local material based checkdams to come across those problems with community participation. MaeChiangRaiLum communityfrom Wang watershed and DongPhapoon community from Nan watershed have been facing severe
logging and shifting cultivation problems which lead to drought and landslide problems. The local
people constructed numbers of low cost and local material check dams along the mountainous slopewith creating and effective forest restoration project. The “highland wet forest” could narrow down
the problems. Not only adult activities, but also local teenagers, as youth power, keep running theiractivities under the concept of environmental sustainable development.

TS8-2 ESD & SDGS, BEYOND THE ENVIRONMENTALEDUCATION
Kazuyuki Mikami

Former President of Miyagi University of Education
We experienced terrible pollution “Kogai” at the end of the 20th century and got over it by the effortof people and unexpected events of oil shock. Then, environmental education developed and thereafter
ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) was put forward in 2001. ESD has been promoted
especially during DESD (2005-2014). We are still facing with issues on the sustainable development
now. The UN adopted SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in 2015. I believe that ESD becomes
more important to achieve the Goals by 2030.
The environmental issues were partly brought sometimes by the result of science development, butsome issues will be cleared by the science itself. Sustainable science is required and promoted now. At
the same time, we should look back over the past. In Japan, we have a word “On-Ko-Chi-Shin”. It means
learning a lesson from the past. For example, we had a culture of “Mottai-nai” that is a Japanese word
which means an unnecessary or wrong use of money, substances, energy, etc., but it has been rather
neglected by modern people. Nobel-Prize winner Dr. Maathai noticed it’s importance.
ESD encompasses a wide range of fields. To promote ESD, many groups (NPO, NGO, institutions,companies, etc.) are organized in Japan. It is important for these groups to communicate andcollaborate to achieve the SDGs. As the central institution, the ESD Resource Center was recently
established by MEXT and Ministry of the Environment.
I would like to mention about the situation of civic activity at the 8th session, from the view point of
ESD activity in local area, that is, Miyagi pref.

We are NPO "Tomisato-no-Hotaru". Our active field is called Tenjinyatsu where is located Tomisato city in Chiba.
The field is related to the source of Inba Lake. Our activity is protecting and maintaining the field which is a habitat of fireflies.
Though our conservative activity, we find out that we need to protect not only a habitat of fireflies but also the surroudings whole area.
The fireflies are making a contiuous cycling of life with many creatures there. How should we keep our conservative activity in future?
To solve this issue, we are focusing on children. We teach children the splendor of nature in order to let our activity contiued. We startbuilding good relationship with local kindergartens, elementary schools, jounior high schools, and high schools. We visit kindergartensand schools and give classes about nature and its creatures. We also invite more than 3,000 children or students to our field a year.
They enjoy eating edible wild grasses, playing in the field, and they feel the nature. We are expecting one or two of the children may
come back to us and help our activty in near future. Our activty is always gazing 10 or more years ahead. We realize tha if we give up
the activty, this valuable circumstance easily fade away. Once it has done, it is almost impossible to rebuild this natural environment.
That's why our activty is very important.

Asokai, an enclosed coastal sea separated from the open sea by a natural reef, Amnohashidate, one of the three sceneries of Japan.
The eutrophication has progressed due to changes in people's lifestyle since the period of high economic growth, and its water quality
and sediment have been deteriorated accordingly. As a result, problems such as malodor generation, oyster island formation due to its
abnormal propagation, and loss of clams and fishing grounds occurred. Local affiliates and governments, and experts together formeda cooperative meeting for creating beautiful Aso Sea environment, promoting efforts such as coastal cleaning and enlightenment. We
also formulated "Aso Kai Basin Vision" in 2015. And in the same year, the surrounding two relevant local governments, Miyazu City
and Yosano Town simultaneously issued, "Ordinance to Create a Beautiful and Prosperous Sea of Aso and Connect to the Future"
to implement the foundation to promote efforts throughout the watershed. Many students belonging to the International Volunteer
University Student Association have participated in the large-scale oyster shell recovery activities since 2015, and efforts to utilize thecollected oyster shells have also progressed. We are all working together on a regional basis with the cooperation of volunteers inconservation of Asokai, our "Local Treasure."

City Agricultural Services Department, City Government of Calamba
Yaman ng Lawa (YNL) or Wealth of the Lake Project started as a research project funded by the Research Institute of Humanity andNature, Japan and implemented by the LakeHEAD Research Team from Japan and University of the Philippines. It primarily aims toprovide avenue for exchange of ideas between the scientists and local fisherfolks.
The City Government of Calamba adopted the YNL concepts and principles; used them in designing programs for fishery resource
management. The project was implemented using the adaptive community-based management approach, wherein the “technology”
used comes from the fisherfolks, adapting to their needs, and was backed-up by scientific principles.
To ensure the sustainability of the YNL project impact, the City Government of Calamba through the City Agricultural Services
Department designed the M.A.T.H. in Adaptive Co-Management of Fishery Resources as implementing strategies of the project. M.A.T.H.
stands for: M - Mentoring the future generation; A - Accessing partnership; T - Technology and Information Dissemination; H - Homeand Family-Based Approach.
For almost six (6) years, through the implementation of M.A.T.H. strategies, YNL continuously became a project that celebrates
environmental success and embodied social commitment of the City of Calamba that can also be adopted and implemented in otherlakeshore communities in the Philippines. Through M.A.T.H. lakes and humans can co-exist harmoniously, leading to sustainable
development of the wealth of lake resources, benefitting the community around it.

Lake Lanao in Mindanao, the southern part of Philippines, is one of the world’s ancient lakes. It is a cultural heritage of the Meranaws
and a strategic economic resource of the country being a major source of hydropower. The lake is an important source of water,
subsistence and livelihood for the Meranaws. However, the agricultural practices, pollution, logging, as well as the construction of aseries of dams, have caused deterioration of the Lake. If left unabated, the livelihood, health and food security of the Meranaws will
be seriously affected. Following sustainable human development framework, the My Lake Lanao Project (MLLP) attempts to addresss
these multiple and interconnected problems of the Lake and lakeshore communities. Interventions include community-based projects
integrating livelihood and lake conservation, education and awareness campaigns mobilizing school-based and community-based
youth. MLLP adopts a collaborative participatory processes, evidence-based approaches and need-responsive programs. Employing
a modified action research approach, this study examines the social processes of MLLP implementation, focusing especially on theon the responses of local communities and their level of awareness on existing programs for the protection of the Lake. The research
reveal the crucial role of the collaboration among local communities, non-government organizations, people's organizations, local
governments and the academe, as a collective agency, in attaining the objectives of poverty alleviation, environmental conservation andpeace advocacy.

Research Centre for Population, Indonesian Institute for Sciences
The reservoirs made by the Dutch colonial government in Jakarta have undergone drastic changes in the role of the community
over the last one hundred years. The purpose of this study was to find out how the communities negotiate with the governmentand compete with private business interests. The research method is observational and depends on an in-depth interview as a key
informational source. The results of the study indicate that the changing role of the community is caused by, (1) water resource laws
do not provide space for the participation of local communities; (2) the land around the reservoir is controlled by the private sector
for urban expansion; (3) the reservoirs have changed in function from agricultural irrigation to flood control; and (4) many reservoirs
are polluted and silted. Some communities that demonstrate the capability of managing the reservoirs are largely dependent on
the following factors, (1) social ties within communities that affect solidity in determining the importance of managing reservoirs;(2) the role of village community leaders in establishing relations with the government as a crucial step toward the success ofnegotiations in the management of reservoirs; and (3) the combination between the two factors already listed affects the success of acommunity competing with private developers in reservoir management. This study concludes that the community's ability to maintainrelationships with stakeholders demonstrate their capability in taking on the role of managing reservoirs also influence the continuity of
the respective reservoir’s function as a water source.

Phayao Lake is one of the most important lake in Thailand and provides many benefits to the city of Phayao and lake basin.
Settlements, agriculture, tourism and fishing are some of the major uses of the lake basin, making community involvement a necessarycomponent of its management. The aim of the study was to explore the knowledge and perceptions of local communities regarding;the critical problems, situation of the lake management and possible future research direction. Three key processes were carried out
including 1) collect and synthesize available knowledge from previous research articles and publications, 2) integrate lake development
plans with available knowledge, and 3) determine strategic research directions for the lake using stakeholder participation. More than
200 research articles have been published in the past decade. Most of the studies were related on the lake but only a few of them
have been used in policy making process or development plan. Future lake strategic research directions could be determined in fourmain areas; development of ecosystem balance for sustainable use of natural resources; development of economic potential especially
tourism competencies; restoration of social issues and management deregulation; improvement of inhabitant health status. The visionand strategies of the lake research and development were also pointed out by participatory process. Lesson learned from this study
was lake management should include the integration of academic research, local government development plan, and stakeholder
participation.

A water culture program titled “Tirta Budaya Situ” was implemented in and around several urban lakes (situ ) within the Jakarta
metropolitan area (Jabodetabek ). The program encouraged communities situated nearby to urban lakes to hold activities formaintaining the lakes by launching cultural or sports events in which direct involvement with the lakes and their surrounding land werepracticed. The hypothesis is that community activities taking place near the lakes will increase people’s awareness of the lakes’ healthy
ecosystems and functions. If communities need an urban lake in their area, they will maintain the urban lake. The implementation
was conducted at Situ Rawa Badung in East Jakarta, Situ Bojongsari in Depok, Situ Binong in Bekasi, Situ Bungur in Tangerang Selatan,and Situ Gintung in Tangerang amongst others. “Tirta Budaya Situ” supported the community in striving toward a better environmentand has thus far added more greenery to the land surrounding the lake by planting trees. Community activities such as cleaning thesurrounding lake, cultural festivals, and sport events were supported by us behind the program by, for example, helping communities
find sponsorships for such events. After several years of implementation, we drew up an evaluation of how the “Tirta Budaya Situ”
program managed to support community activities and strengthen the relationship between community activities and the maintenanceof urban lakes. The results demonstrated that, for certain lakes, the more community activities taking place around them, the more thelake is likely to be well maintained.

Today's current textbooks contribute to the development of future specialists, but while teaching any environmental problems, it isimportant for the trained, competent, qualified specialists to develop their vision of the use of the student's self-study. Therefore thepurpose of our research is to study and analyze a specific environmental problem from a scientific research point of view. At present
it is already recognized that it is impossible to restore the Aral Sea in the same state and size. Therefore, we can only talk aboutstabilizing and improving the already existing situation. Although the governments of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have already taken
appropriate measures and implemented projects that have partially stabilized the situation in the Aral Sea area, but further concrete
actions are still needed to improve the complex environmental situation in the Aral Sea basin, taking into account socio-economic
development. September 9-17, 2017 the teachers of the University of Tsukuba organized a joint expedition of Kazakh and Japanesescholars where they got acquainted with life, educational institutions and also discussed conducting joint research works. Therefore,
it is advisable to make specific decisions, if possible, use space data, unite states and international organizations dealing with thisproblem and positively resolve this issue, because today the tragedy of the Aral Sea is not only an internal problem of Central Asian
countries and Kazakhstan.

Powai lake situated 55 meters above the mean sea level (msl) is known as 'Anglers Paradise’. It is meant exclusively for angling
and sports and is located about 27 Km away in the north-east of Mumbai city. This lake came into existence in the year 1891, when
Mumbai Municipality got constructed a masonry dam of 10 meter height between two hillocks across Powai basin to conserve therain water for drinking purpose, which later was commonly known as Powai lake, since it impounded in Powai area. Subsequently,
the water in the lake was found unpotable because of indiscriminate use of the lake for various purposes by the local people andalso due to discharge of domestic sewage from the surrounding localities. Initially this lake was open for the general utilization of thenatives and is leased out to Maharashtra State Angling Association (MSAA), Mumbai - an NGO registered in 1955 under the Society’s Registration Act 1860 for angling in addition to conservation. This organization being one of the important stake holders and has
been stocking the lake with ecologically important species of Indian major carps and endangered species like Mahasheer . These
organizations have actively been involved in maintenance of ecological health of this lake.

Lake Kasumigaura has been contaminated by the high level of radiation released from the exploded Fukusima No.1 nuclear electric
power plant on March 11 in 2011. We have studied the influence of radiation on the ecosystem of L.Kasumigaura by examining
hatching and survival ratios of fish and by checking morphological abnormalities of fishes. We have also monitored the contaminationof Cs-134,137 for the bottom and fishes in L. Kasumigaura. Based on these results, we proposed a countermeasure in open forums anddiscussed. Our countermeasure was rejected by a majority of the floor. Therefore, we gave up proposing this countermeasure for thegovernment agencies. We are going to explain this process and discuss.

"Lake Biwa" is an important lake as the water service source of the urban area including Kyoto and Osaka. I involve in theenvironmental conservation in Lake Biwa to use my study and my experiments since I was a child.
In the rapid economic growth period, the neighboring inhabitants rose up to prevent the water quality of Lake Biwa contaminating.
The movement that is called "washing powder motion", led to the constitution of "the regulations for preventing eutrophication of Lake
Biwa".
I have investigated the water quality in Lake Biwa based on the regulations for many years, and I hand down the significance of thiscivil movement to release the results.
I pass on the environmental issue in Lake Biwa to next generation in order to let people know the important role for the water
service source. Furthermore, I expect that more people engage in the conservation of Lake Biwa environment in the future.

In order to solve environmental problems and make a sustainable society, it is essential for everyone to take action of their own
initiative, recognizing the connection between these challenges and their lives. Residents of Shiga have a will to proactively protect
Lake Biwa on an individual basis; for example, more than 100,000 people participate in clean-up activities around Lake Biwa Day, July 1,
every year. Environmental learning plays a major role in expanding such environmental actions in order to build a sustainable society.
This is why Shiga, through the perspective of Education for Sustainable Development, promotes environmental learning to nurture
people who can not only notice, learn and think about, and act on various environmental issues, but also take proactive actions
towards building a sustainable society.

Eisuke Hayaoka
Hokkaido University
On October 15, 2017, students at Hokkaido university CoSTEP, Communication in Science & Technology Education & Research
Program, conducted the environmental education event "Immerse into the virtual Lake Shikotsu world!" to use virtual reality (VR)technology for elementary and junior high school students at the Sapporo Science Center.
We took underwater omnidirectional video footage at Lake Shikotsu in August 2017 using a full spherical video camera capable ofshooting in all directions such as horizontal and vertical. We edited the VR video contents so that viewers with VR goggle could feellike they are swimming under water and observing.
In using VR technology for environmental education learning, the reproducibility of the underwater environment and the ecosystemin the water is important. Because the river is flowing, it is difficult to shoot underwater with VR. However, it is relatively easy in thelake. Also, unlike ordinary flat images, VR images are required to have ideas that encourage viewers to participate actively.
Therefore, I found three important points. 1) To make a movement that people seek out objects. 2) To make participants understandhow the observation space is arranged. 3) Characters are required to guide gaze.
CoSTEP students who produce this event could have a real experience at the lake. For elementary and junior high school students
who experienced VR, environmental education effect could be obtained by VR technology. In this way, I think that lake environmental
education using VR technology has double educational effect.

Hunaho elementary school, established in 1873, is a very small rural school in Inzai city. In old time, Lake Inba-numa was so familiar
as to be put in the school song, but after the reclamation, the lake has become estranged from the school zone. And at the same time,
the awareness to the lake of the people living there also has lost. So we tried to teach about to restore the good relationship between
Lake Inba-numa and the Hunaho area community as “Inba-numa Learning” in cooperation with the community. For example, children
herd about the old life or folk tales about Inba-numa from old persons, visited springs or Satoyama. By these lessons, children learned
that their hometown is very important as the sources of Lake Inba-numa even now. At the same time, all of the community became tobe proud of their hometown, and the relationship between the community and school grew strong.

participated aggressively in the 6th World Lake Conference (WLC6) with the 4 group partnership of administrations, industries,
researchers, and citizens. After the conference, “Kasumigaura Citizens’ Association" was established in 1996 considering the mind of"The Lake Kasumigaura Declaration" adopted in WLC6. We have been active for 23 years in order to raise the interest of the people to
the Lake Kasumigaura where a various purifying measure still continues. In this paper we report two commissioned projects which theKasumigaura Citizens’ Association has been working on, that is, 1 Survey on water quality in inflowing river into the Lake Kasumigaura
and 2 Interchange salon promotion project of the Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center. Commissioned project is often
constrained and has a lot of hard work. But in addition to raising awareness among residents in and outside the prefecture, there isalso the purpose of strengthening organization and expanding membership within the Kasumigaura Citizens’ Association. In taking on
the commissioned project involving the administration, we decided to develop sustainable activities while maintaining a "cooperative
relationship with a feeling of tension".

environment of children and the inhabitants of the Sakura river basin, and causing of the trend which works on improvement of water
quality of Sakura river and Lake Kasumigaura. This council is composed of 23 organizations, such as municipalities in watersheds,
civil society groups, and the branch office of the prefecture. The activities of the expedition can be roughly divided into "explorationexchanges" and "participation in water quality surveys". "Exploration exchanges" are held three times a year to raise interest in the
Sakura River basin and "participation in water quality surveys" is conducted twice a year, mainly by municipalities to grasp the conditionof water quality. While encouraging participation by children and many residents, we are promoting activities to raise awareness about
the purification of water quality at the Sakura river, which is a familiar river, leading to the purification of the Lake Kasumigaura.

Fukushima resident's decreased awareness of water environment of river has been a concern since the TEPCO's Fukushima Dai-ichi
Nuclear power plant accidents. The objective of this study is to clarify the influence of regional dialogue with awareness of river. We
held a workshop on the water environment for resident's of two river basins in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. Before and after theworkshop, we conducted questionnaire surveys on 'image' and 'goodness' of river to the participants and compared the results. As aresult, the participant's awareness of river improved after the work shop. This seems to be because stakeholders in river basins withvarious degrees of interest in the water environment shared information. Regional dialogue is expected to lead to an improvement in
the awareness of the prefectural people who have declined to the water environment after the nuclear accident.

The environmental problems of Lake Kasumigaura werefirst televised in 1973. The first environmental problem was fish kill and great outbreak of Algae in this year. Thereafter, there wasa program which brought up water pollution as environmental problem of Lake Kasumigaura televised for several years until 1995.
The contents changed from influence on fishery and drinking water to water pollution and water quality improvement measures.
These measures were televised as a proposal for improvement of environmental problems of World Lake in 1995. After 1995 theprogram brought up environmental problems other than water pollution, and suggested diversity of environmental problems of
Lake Kasumigaura. Television programs stored environmental condition of Lake Kasumigaura, action of resident and opinion forenvironmental problems. They are precious records to know Lake Kasumigaura past times, and common information from the different
years and generations. It will be useful for the environmental learning and improve people’s environmental consciousness.

INTEGRATED RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT IN LAKE
BIWA-YODO RIVER
Norio Nakatsuka

The Organizing Committee of the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai
This report is about an efforts of UNION OF KANSAI GOVERMENTS to resolve the upcoming issues
in Lake Biwa - Yodo River Basin, Japan such as increased flood/ draught risk, deterioration of theecosystem under global climate change and the regional population decline.
Many of current problems in Lake Biwa - Yodo River Basin have been out of concerns for traditional
sectors in the compartmentalized government structure so that the responsibilities have been pushed
onto others or overlooked. Therefore, the better governance, not only to encourage individual effort
but also to promote appropriate collaboration and cooperation among diversified actors, are becoming
more essential for the resolution. Then objective/ scientific evidence, which can be the basis ofdecision-making, is one of most effective drivers to improve the governance. Indicators, which canevaluate the various statuses in multi-scale, can give various actors (from individuals, NGOs, private
sectors, cities, prefectures to national governments) incentives to act. Each resolution is generally
made through a cycle such as 1) Recognize the current situation - 2) Set (Reset) agenda - 3) Establish
framework for collaboration and corporation - 4) Plan and Implement. The cycle should be kept
on following again and again so as to formulate integration of policies. To encourage this upward
spiral process effectively, UNION OF KANSAI GOVERMENTS as “Stagehand” who integrate available
knowledge and intelligence of so-ciety and environment in the basin, is beginning to work.

AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF TRANSFORMING THE
MALAYSIAN WATER SECTOR
Salmah Zakaria

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES MALAYSIA (ASM)
The Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) recently produced the publication, “Transforming the Water Sector:
National Integrated Water Resources Management Plan - Strategies and Road Map”. The focus was to highlightthe interconnectivity between all water sub-subsectors, both within the resources and services management, froman overarching and integrated perspective, so as to provide a foresight for future sustainable development, in linewith the anticipated Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). The precursors to this publication were several
ASM Component Plan studies (IWRM Sub-theme) and summary briefs and reports/expert reviews on lakes,
groundwater, water and climate changes, water supply and wastewater, river basins, agriculture water, urban
water, water research, national key priority areas on water, flood management, water quality, water and landuse, water and gender, water and green growth, water- food-energy nexus, water financing, advocacy, awarenesscreation, international networking and collaboration, etc. The analysis were presented as strategies and road
map in a national IWRM (Integrated Water Resources Management) plan. Twenty five (25) recommendations
were proposed, clustered under the four IWRM pillars namely, enabling environment, institutional arrangements,
management instruments and investments in water infrastructure.
This paper included discussions on how ILBM processes were pursued, within the proposed collective National
IWRM Plan. Details in the appendices included summary briefs on Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM).

three years field research was carried out on local peat soil in the Pontian district, Johore. Returning from the doctoral thesis, the focus was on hydraulic structures.
Later, as the Director of River Engineering Division, my interest turned to river basin management with focus on the overarching and holistic Integrated Water Resources
Management (IWRM), and Urban Storm Water Management (USWM, now known as IUWM). IWRM was included as a national policy since 2001, in the 8th Malaysia
5-year Plan. USWM was accepted as a national policy by the National Council on Local Authorities in 2002. As the Director of Corporate Development, research focus
and analysis were on policy outreach, both technical and management. This included institutional study on restructuring the DID, to ensure better effectiveness forservices provided, as well as being Malaysia’s focal point in WEPA, Japan. Heading NAHRIM, my personal focus of research turned to lake basins management andclimate change impacts, although coastal management, water quality and hydraulic structures formed part of my core businesses.
Working in UNESCAP provided the opportunity to share my knowledge on water at the international level, as well as being introduced to new knowledge onwater issues such as water and green growth, water-food-energy nexus, circular economy and the development of SDGs. There were also interactions with ESCAP
member countries in the Asia-Pacific as well as international organizations such as MRC, ASEAN, APWF, ADB, UN-Water, UNEP, UNESCO, IUCN, other NGOs and UN
organizations.
There is a need to look at the whole water sub-sectors in an overarching and integrated manner to support sustainable development and management. Being a Fellowof ASM and currently the Chair of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) Water Committee, allow for cross-cutting analysis of both the water resources and services
management. The ASM has since 2008, published papers on Lake Management, Groundwater Management, Climate Change Impacts on Water related issues, IWRM/
IRBM, Management of Research, Investments in Water, Water Supply & Wastewater Management, Water Demand Management, Agriculture Water and Integrated
Urban Water Management. My interactions with ILEC, started when I was in NAHRIM and continues until now.

While bringing economic success, urbanization processes have resulted in stress and undesirable consequences such as pollution
and depletion of water sources, sedimentation, flooding, biodiversity loss and degradation of lake and river systems that impact
public health, food security, livelihoods and well-being. Using Sta. Rosa Watershed in Laguna Lake Philippines as a case study, thispaper examines the evolution of local institutions that aim to mitigate these issues at the watershed scale. Challenges to watershed
governance are examined using institutional and stakeholder analysis. Prospects for expanding and sustaining the capacity of theexisting institutions are articulated to address multiple issues and mitigate concerns in this urbanizing landscape.

Benevolent leaders and associated strong environmental policy is the impetus of environmental conservation in Bhutan. Never - the less, greater challenge exists today with faster paced modernization, as Bhutan advents into the 12thfive-year planning cycle. Changing
ecosystems and their services, is more visible and challenges in the water sector with the cascading phenomenon in the food-energyclimate nexus is growing. In the past, an ecosystem-based approach to conservation was rarely visible as a common policy directive inthe sustainable management of environmental resources in the country. The roadmap for wetlands conservation, followed by the Royal
Government of Bhutan is envisaged to build information on wetlands, achieve the sustainable development goals, assess wetlands,
build management plans for significant wetlands, and continuously monitor and evaluate the conditions of wetlands in the country.
With this roadmap, the country envisions to add value to Bhutan’s legacy to environmental conservation through an ecosystem based
approach with an effective wetlands conservation program.

From 2002 to 2017 a series of 94 projects have been completed in the Lake Chapala basin (Mexico) by the Institute Corazon dela Tierra; they were directed to improve the conditions of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the Environmental Services they
provide. Creating partnerships has been a core part of this process, to properly deal with complex ecological, social and economic
aspects, including conflicting activities and points of view regarding access and use of natural resources, most importantly, water andforests. This paper reviews the features of the strategies used to create effective partnerships, the challenges that were faced andhow they were dealt with, in order to create a deeper involvement of stakeholders beyond their particular location and socio-political
position, to involve them as a group into the integrated management of Lake Chapala basin, a strong collaborative effort that still has achallenging way ahead.

Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology
One of the world’s ancient lakes, Lake Lanao in the province of Lanao Sur, southern Phiippines, is home to the Meranaws, a Muslim
group who inhabit the area since precolonial times. Lake Lanao is also a major economic resource of the country being the sourceof water of six hydropower plants, the Agus Powerplant Complex, which provide a big bulk of electricity to Mindanao, the country’s southern most island and home to more than 30% of Filipinos. Lanao Sur is one of the poorest province and known to be hotbed
of violent conflicts in the country, ranging from clan violence to historical Moro/Muslim armed secessionist rebellion and other formsof “shadow economy”. Against this social backdrop, the study inquires on the state of sustainable development of Lake Lanao. Froma survey of 500 respondents, key informant interviews and on-site observation, the study reveals that Lake Lanao matters has not
trigger conflict among the locals. However, the professional groups and development actors in the area, private and government alike,
deplore the absence of, or poor, governance of Lake Lanao which, they argue, abetted the socially and environmentally damaging
monopolistic control and utilization of the Lake by a government-owned and controlled corporation. The study highlights the (a)challenges of competing resource use, between local - subsistence and cultural - versus national, highly economic ; and (b) effective
governance in addressing peace and security in the locality as pillars of sustainable development.

The Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) is among the most productive freshwater ecosystems, and one of the most fish-abundant lakes in theworld. It is connected with the Mekong River by the Tonle Sap River. The TSL absorbs a huge volume of water, which helps to reduce
flooding in the Mekong River floodplains during the peak flooding season, then releases water into the Mekong River during the dry
season, which vital to maintain ecological flows and to prevent salt intrusion into the Mekong delta. Local communities who live inor around the TSL are well adapted to this hydrological phenomenon of the Mekong River and TSL. Local livelihoods are also deeply
dependent on natural resources and services that the lake and its floodplains provide, including agriculture, trade and fishing, threemost important livelihood sources. This study investigated impacts of and the recent environmental changes on the livelihoods of thefishing communities in and around the TSL. More specifically, the study intends: (i) to examine socio-economic and environmental
changes occurred in and around the lake and its causes; (ii) to explore the impacts of these changes on the livelihoods of fishingcommunities; (iii) to identify the strategies that could enhance the resilience of the local communities and reduce their vulnerability.

Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
ILBM (Integrated Lake Basin Management) is relatively a new concept in Malaysian context if it is compared to IWRM (Integrated
Water Resources Management) and IRBM (Integrated River Basin Management), however, it can be fit in nicely and quickly because of
relatively good understanding and buy-in from stakeholders at various levels in Malaysia. ILBM is quite a natural approach for Malaysia
because there are so many lakes in the country such as natural lakes, ex-mining lakes, man-made lakes, and other multi-purpose
lakes including for HORAS (hybrid off-river augmentation system) uses in Selangor State, etc. There are already active committees atthe policy level on lakes as well as research and development levels too, including those chaired by several government agencies.
Therefore, lakes may quickly and efficiently bring ordinary people closer to proper water management because of aesthetics andrecreational attractions of lakes including for fishing, relaxation and retention purposes for water discharged or runoff from residential
and business areas and estates. The key success factors for ILBM, based on literature review and informal interviews, is community
buy-in along with embracement and enculturation of ILBM principals as well as aspirations for human and ecosystems health. In
Malaysia, if there is a bold and sincere leadership of local authority, then the maximum of the implementation of ILBM can be won.
Moreover, if there is support by academia and business professionals for expertise sharing and knowledge transfer, then the ILBM canbe achieved entirely to promote the sustainable development in Malaysia.

With an aim to promote better coordination among government departments to protect the water bodies, the central government ofChina has decided to establish a nationwide river and lake chief system to cover all rivers and lakes by the end of 2018. It is expected
to cover the provincial, city, county and township levels. Heads of provincial-level regions will be general chiefs responsible for all rivers
and lakes in the region, other top officials at provincial, city, county and township levels will act as chiefs responsible for different partsof the water bodies. Responsibilities of the chiefs include water resource protection, pollution prevention and control, and ecologicalrestoration. Their job performance will be assessed, and they will be held accountable if environmental damage occurs in the water
bodies they oversee. Information including names and responsibilities of the chiefs will to be made public to ensure public supervision.
China firstly appointed local government officials as chiefs in 2007 to address problem of blue-glue algae bloom in Lake Taihu, Jiangsu
Province. Zhejiang Province began testing this new system in 2008 and expanded it across the whole province from 2013. In thispresentation, we’d try to introduce this new concept and also its the achievement and challenges we’ve seen.

Wetlands International South Asia
Wise use of wetlands is predicated on the extent to which primary stakeholders, especially local communities participate in the
management of these ecosystems. Limited empirical data on behavioural dimensions of ecosystem services and communities’ response
to management of these services impedes effective integration in management. We used Ecosystem Services Shared Value Assessment(ESSVA) tool to assess community perceptions, preferences and attitudes for ecosystem services of Tampara, a freshwater lake locatedalong the eastern coast of Odisha State in India. Data from 278 structured questionnaire survey of basin communities and eight
focal group discussions indicated that the demographic, socioeconomic and spatial heterogeneities within these communities hada significant influence on attitudes and preferences for 19 ecosystem services identified as being derived from the wetland. Relative
significance for ecosystems services, mainly provisioning services varied when communities responded as a group as comparedwith when responding as an individual. Spatial location in the basin, gender, occupation and ownership of assets had a significant
bearing on the preferences for ecosystem services. Communities directly dependent on the wetland perceived their role in restorationand management as being more prominent as compared with governments or other management agencies. A segmented andspatially nuanced understanding of ecosystem services, as enabled by the ESSVA tool, provides the basis for broadening stakeholder
engagement in management for wise use of wetlands.

An Ecosystem Health Card (EHC) provides simple and clear presentation of the current ecosystem health of a water body basedon certain indicators. The first Ecosystem Health Card for Laguna de Bay was for 2013, where the lake scored a low passing mark of
C- which is equivalent to 76%. In 2016, the EHC assessment was extended to the rivers that drain into the lake and it was named as
LGU scorecard, with reference to the Local Government Units in a river basin. The same water quality parameters used in the 2013assessment were used in the lake and river assessment. The score attained in 2016 was even lower at 72 % or a failing mark of D
attributed to high phosphate concentrations and high chlorophyll a content. The East Bay garnered the highest score among the lake
stations for having the least built-up areas. With the issuance of the new Effluent Standards where nutrients are already among theregulated parameters for industrial and commercial sources, the increasing nutrient loading into the lake can be effectively addressed.

From February 27 to March 2018 in Dakar, ILEC organized an International Workshop on Integrated Lake Basins Management (ILBM)
with a focus on West African Lakes status and the current patterns for integrated lake basins management in Africa.
Discussions on lakes and wetland ecosystems were held and conducted in the framework of multiple crisis recorded in the subregion, such as: climate change and extreme events, population growth, cities expansion, ecosystems degradation and poverty,
pollution, etc. The objective of workshop was to develop guidelines in terms of research and collaboration with the African scientists
and managers in order to develop knowledge and initiate research action especially in the area of the preservation and developmentof integrated lake basins management and ecosystems. One particular area of focus was the compliance with laws and regulations
and the need to develop areas of cooperation between West African countries and experts in order to adopt common approach on
research and methodologies in the area of lake basins, watersheds and wetland ecosystems integrated management.
Today’s challenges are mostly focused on drinking water supply to large coastal cities populations, food self-sufficiency of lakesidevillages and cities and the improvement of living conditions of populations living around lake basins. Thus the importance of integrated
management of lake basins systems that takes into account the interface between the different pillars of ILBM process and the role ofecosystem approach in the context of improving the governance of lake basins, as largely discussed during the workshop.

SPANDAN (NETCOAST)Worldwide wetlands are suffering from various issues due to development initiatives. Also Natural disasters change the pattern of
ecological services provided by the wetlands to the adjacent communities. Chilika is one of the important Ramsar site and largest
wetland system of India. The changes in land use and land cover patterns have affected the creeks and natural canals of the lake.
The occurrence of frequent floods and cyclones has also blocked the natural passage of water in to it and exacerbated the naturalfunctioning of the wetland. ‘Enhanced hydrological connectivity’ has taken as a planned ecosystem based measures in building
resilience of the communities. It has also taken as a key approach to rejuvenate the water bodies, revival of the creeks and mitigate
water logging issues. Moreover this helped in the promotion of sustainable irrigation to 350 acres of crop land, increased flood water
absorption capacity as a buffer zone of Lake Chilika and renovation of 3 ponds. The women of the community could gain economic
profits from the pond aquaculture. This ultimately promoted the improvement of the LULC (Land Use and Land Cover) status of thearea. The scientific LULC study conducted by Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project and Chilika Development Authority (CDA)
in 2013 confirms the gain of ecosystem services due to such intervention. The recent LULC status shows 112.7 hectares of creek and5158.6 hectares of aquaculture promotion in the area.

Durga Prasad DashPALLISHREE
Ansupa is the largest freshwater lake in Odisha, with a catchment area of 5231 hectares. During the last 2 decades the Lake wasunder threat due to huge amount of sand, soil and debris flowed from the catchments and the river Mahanadi. The average depth of
the Lake is 4 metre. Chilika Development Authority initiated participatory lake basin management and sustainable livelihood along withactivities for weed management in the lake.
About 30,000 populations in 28 villages around the lake were depending on the Lake for their livelihoods, 70% on agriculture and
25% on fishing. 1836.99 hectares of agricultural crop (paddy and vegetables) depends upon its water. The capacity of the farmers
have been enhanced through training programmes to increase the yield in agriculture with organic inputs and the yield increased
significantly. Various plantation programmes in 132 hectares were carried out including soil conservation measures like continuous
contour bond, staggered and half moon trenches. 8 nos. of new rain water harvesting structures (4.2 hectors) saved the needs of crops
in stress period. Special skill building training was provided to fishers. Women SHGs helped in de-weeding the lake.
As a result the biodiversity improved in the lake ecosystem, development of favorable micro climatic conditions for wildlife viz.
rabbit, small Indian civet cat, deer, python, hyena, elephants and tiger. Community based institutions like Watershed committees (7),women SHGs (30) and Primary Fisherman Cooperative Society (1) were promoted in the Lake Basin management which contributed
significantly in the eco-system and economic growth.

valuable ecosystem services and irrigate the largest paddy fields for the country. This study assessed the vulnerability of Muda Lake
Basin to climate change using the Probability Distribution Model rainfall-runoff model and InfoWorks two-dimensional Integrated
Catchment Model. The hydroclimate simulation was based on the downscaled global circulation model data to Peninsular Malaysia.
Future hydroclimate model showed that the lake catchment will received slightly lower and higher rainfall amount at the mid of
21st century. A much severe rainfall pattern over a long period was projected at the end of 21st century. Simulation results provided
pattern of lake hydrologic and hydrodynamic in association to future climatic changes. Long drought at the end of century will beaffecting the lake services to supply water for irrigation and domestic. Economic valuation of the impact of climate change on the main
ecosystem services during drought and flood events will enable identification of strategies to reduce the associated potential losses toinfrastructure and communities.

Lakes are under threat from the impact of environmental degradation and changing climate in India, a country with fast rising
population and with several social, economic and political hurdles in manangement. The Sasthamkotta Lake , a designated wetlandis the only freshwater lake in the tropical state Kerala. This spring-fed lake is the source of drinking water for 0.5 million people andresidence of nearly 27 freshwater fish species. Input of chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides from farms carried through rivers, and thedetergents and untreated domestic effluents from urban areas contaminate the lake’s water. Rising needs in water and the extremes
in local climate as part of global anomalies worsen the situation. Increasig rainfall intensity causes large-sclae erosion in the upper hills
and the sediment load carried by rivers threatens the existence of the lake. Degradation of the lake leads to socio-economic issues
such as pricing of water, migration, and conflicts. Rules and regulations for the protection of lake become farce bcause of various

During the last three decades, increasing population, changing patterns of water demand, and concentration of population andeconomic activities in urban areas has pressurize Senegal’s freshwater resources. To overcome this deficit, Senegal turned to the
exploitation of Lake Guiers. It is the sole water reservoir in the country and its water is use for irrigating crops and sugar refinery, as
well as a drinking water resource for urban centres. To address the challenges that climate change and population growth poses in
Lake Guiers water resources, it is necessary to consider its potential impacts on different dimensions of water resources. In this study,
future water availability and demand has been modelled under scenarios of climate change and population growth until 2030, basedon the representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5 by applying the Water Evaluation And Planning System model (WEAP).
The results show that the pressure on Lake Guiers’s water resources will increase, leading to greater competition between agriculture
and municipal demand site. Decreasing inflow due to climate change will aggravate this situation. WEAP results offer basis to Lake
Guiers water resources manager for an efficient long-term planning and management.

University of Heidelberg
It is important that policymakers are aware of stakeholder’s account of the challenges in society in order to develop policy that isrelevant and supported by its society. The Lake Victoria Basin would particularly benefit from engaging stakeholders to mitigate thechallenges in the region due to its many challenges and diverse stakeholders across the three riparian countries. Therefore, this paper
reports on a problem analysis that was conducted with stakeholders in the Lake Victoria Basin. A thorough stakeholder analysis wasfollowed by semi-structured interviews with businesses, NGO’s, governmental organizations and communities. The analysis resulted
in 12 key issues that were raised by the stakeholders covering social, environmental, health, economic and institutional issues. Theseissues include: reduced fish catch, water pollution, soil erosion, governance, water hyacinth, alternative livelihood, HIV prevalence,poverty, spread of diseases, land ownership, gender inequality and food insecurity. This paper concludes that a strong partnership
between policy makers and stakeholders is crucial in order to mitigate of these issues.

The Lonar Crater Lake situated in Buldhana District, Maharashtra is a natural crater lake formed by hyper velocity meteoritic impact
in basaltic rock before some 50,000 years ago. It has an area of 256.15 hectares and declared as a wildlife sanctuary in 2002. The
Lonar crater is said to be the world’s oldest and the third largest meteoritic crater. It is surrounded on all sides by a rim ejecta blanket
formed from the blocks of basalt, and a steep escarpment to an even height of about 150 m deep. The present study was undertaken
to focus the need of its conservation because of its unique ecosystem all over the world.
Unique aquatic ecosystem was developed in the Lonar Lake due to the high pH of lake water. Hence there is urgent need toconserve this world heritage by applying the seven principles, advocated by WLV (World Lake Vision) by which we can successfully
achieve the goal to maintain ecological balance thus resulting into conservation of Lonar Lake.

Evi Irawan
Watershed Management Technology Center
Debate over the effects of different property regimes on natural resource systems has long been controversial. A large body ofliterature has investigated the links between different property rights regimes and environmental outcomes and shown that common,state, and private property rights regimes are each capable of yielding sustainable environmental outcomes. However, the existing
evidence is highly mixed. This study examines how the alteration of property regimes at local level leads to the degradation of the lake
by using the perspectives of institutional economics, in particular property-rights approaches. Lake Rawapening is a multifunctionalsemi natural lake which is currently in environmentally degraded condition. Nearly 70% of its surface is covered by water hyacinth
and its depth is in the process of shallowing. As consequences, the lake is not able to provide ecosystem services at optimum level.
This research using a case study approach and used data collected from in depth interviews with informants as well as reports anddocuments related to the lake. The study shows that the current property rights regime in the lake and its catchment area associatedwith social change is driving local resource users toward greater degradation of the lake. The opportunity exists to build on existingvillage level institutions to develop a collaborative management system to help protect the lake ecosystem

Saguling Dam is a semi natural man-made ecosystem which is located at Bandung District, West Java. For the time being, thecharacteristic of Saguling Dam is changing because of human activity, such as floating net cage (FNC) activity. FNCs on Saguling
Dam increase organic waste level at Saguling Dam. This causes plankton communities to change around the FNCs on Saguling Dam.
Plankton communities can be used as an aquatic biologic parameter. Aspects that were inspected are the composition, abundance,and diversity of plankton species. This research’s goal is to compare plankton communities at 3 different state of FNC: dense, distant,and vacant; at three different lake depths: 0, 3, and 6 meter(s) below the surface. Plankton communities on each point of point sample
is tested using Sorensen’s index. This research’s conclusion is that the diversity index at Saguling Lake is at medium level; the highest
plankton abundance is at 3 meters depth, and the highest predominant genus for phytoplankton is Trachelomonas and for zooplankton
is Paradileptus . Sorensen’s index results show that there are similiarities of plankton communities at several point samples.

Acetate is the most important precursor to CH4 during anaerobic degradation of organic matters. Wetland soils are a significant
source of atmospheric CH4 and their invasion by Sasa results in the decrease of the CH4 emission. However, the microbial interspecies
competition for acetate is largely unknown. Here, we identified actively acetate-assimilating microorganisms by ultra-high-sensitivity
rRNA-stable isotope probing with 13C-labeled acetate. The Sasa -invaded soil slurry was amended with 13C-acetate and incubatedanaerobically. A gradual degradation of the acetate was accompanied with the production of CH4 and CO2 during the incubation. RNA
was extracted from the slurries and density-separated by isopycnic centrifugation. Microbial communities in density fractions of rRNA
were screened by high-throughput sequencing. Methanosaeta spp. were significantly labeled with the acetate 13C. Notably, 34 different
species of Bacteria were identified as the active 13C-acetate assimilators. One of them was closely related to the dehalo-respiring
Dehalogenimonas sp. The others were phylogenetically novel, exhibiting low sequence similarities (i.e., 77.8% － 92.5%) of 16S rRNA
genes. The result of this study demonstrated that hitherto unidentified bacterial species significantly assimilated acetate, thereby being
competitive with aceticlastic methanogens in the Sasa -invaded wetland soils.

P1-3	A NEW HYPOTHESIS FOR THE DECLINING CAOUSE OF THE JAPANESE EELAtsunobu HamadaSpecified NPO Corparation
A hypothesis to explain the cause of the decline in Japanese eel Anguilla japonic a is proposed, based on the analysis of catch trends
and information on environments downstream of the Tone River, which used to be the greatest fishing ground in Japan. It was evident
that the Tone River used to contribute more than 80% of the total spawning. Spawning migration was inhibited by a water gate
constructed in 1963, and by the complete closure in 1975. Based on this, a hypothesis was proposed, stating that the Japanese eel
decline was caused by the inhibition of spawning and upstream migration of eels into lakes, which were used as habitats, due to thewater resource development projects. Support for this hypothesis was obtained by examining the parent-child relationship and theinfluences of the project on catches in areas other than the gate.

The edible rhizome of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera ), which is called "renkon" in Japanese, is popular in East Asia. The "renkon" is a special
product of coastal area of lake Kasumigaura and this region produce approximately half of the "renkon" in Japan. It is quite difficult to
identify varieties of "renkon", because they are cultivated under water and propagated vegetatively. Therefore, we developed a method
for lotus-variety identification. First, we explored SNPs from lotus genome sequence, designed primers, and got about two hundred
DNA markers. We examined about fifty varieties using High-Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis. Then we can distinguish them down toabout twenty-five genotypes with only six selected DNA markers. In addition, we also examined polyphenol content in about fifty plus
varieties of ornamental lotus derived from the lotus collection of the university of Tokyo, to select high polyphenol content varieties for
future utilization in breeding program. First, polyphenol was extract from dried powder of node and internodes with methanol, thentotal polyphenol content was assayed using colorimetric method with Folin Ciocalteu’s reagent. As a result, ornamental lotus varieties
have wider diversity of polyphenol content than "renkon" varieties. Thus, ornamental lotus varieties can be good materials for "renkon"
breeding.

CSIR Water Research InstituteGhana has derived many useful benefits from reservoirs including hydroelectric power generation, potable water supply, fisheries,
irrigation, transportation and raw water supply for domestic, industrial and agricultural use. The Bui Dam is the third to be created inthe Volta River System for hydroelectric power generation after the Akosombo and Kpong dams and has a surface area of 444 km2.
The study is the first assessment of the water quality and fisheries of the Bui Reservoir five years after impoundment. Field visits were
undertaken between October and December 2016. Profiles of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a and turbidity were
measured in situ using the YSI EXO II Sonde. Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were determined using the Hach digestive methods.
The fishery assessment was undertaken using a battery of multifilament and monofilament gill nets of laterally stretched mesh sizesof 12.5 mm - 40.0 mm and 38.1 mm - 177.8 mm respectively. The water quality profile assessment showed that the reservoir was
thermally stratified. Mean temperature difference between surface and bottom water was 4.5º C. The water quality in the epilimnion
was distinctly varied from that in the hypolimnion in relation to the physical parameters and chlorophyll-a but the nutrients showed
minimal variation in concentrations between the surface and bottom water. The fisheries assessment revealed a decline in fish species
composition by 57 % and a shift from riverine to lacustrine species as well as a shift in trophic dominance from piscivores to benthic
omnivores when compared to the pre-impoundment results.

from the appearance situation of benthos organisms and attached diatoms. Characteristics of the water quality of the Yatsu Tidal Flat
Characteristics of the water quality of the Yatsu Tidal Flat were estimated as being polluted progressing because high COD value in
Funadamari and Daisankaku 2 and 3were high. This is thought to be caused by weak flow than other site. T-P of Shosankaku is highbecause domestic wastewater was flowing in there. As water quality analysts, COD of Sankaku tidal flats(2.4mg/l) was almost stmilar
to that of Tokyo Bay (2.7mg/l). From the results of benthic organisms overall the Funadamari is often evaluated as somewhat dirty inthe degree of environmental preservation 2, and Sankaku Tidal Flat is evaluated as somewhat clean in the degree of environmental
preservation 3. The results of DAIpo show that the value of DAIpo decreased in the Funadamari 4 from spring to autumn , but thevalue of DAIpo rose due to the increase in the number of saproxenous in other points. The Funadamari which is the most inner part of
the Yatsu Tidal Flat shows the past figure of Yatsu Tidal Flat and the Sankaku Tidal Flat near Tokyo Bay shows the future of Yatsu Tidal

communities using various models of diversity and coherence of the water quality. The study was conducted from July to December
2015, using the method of APHA, 2012. Based on water quality data, the five stations are grouped into three zones. Zone 1 consistsof Station 1, Zone 2 consists of stations 2, 3, and 5, Zone 3 consists of Station 4. The difference in the water quality at each station
causes differences plankton diversity. The results showed that the model of geometric and broken stick was not suitable for use in allzones. Log normal model was appropriate using in Zone 1 for data phytoplankton and zooplankton all zones to the data.

Antibiotic resistance is not only a national problem but a global dilemma. There are many reasons why this type of resistanceexists including the lack of new antibiotics for older antibiotics are rapidly becoming ineffective. Thus, this study was conducted todetermine if the isolated actinomycetes exhibits antifungal activity against two test organisms: Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger . A
total of 34 isolated actinomycetes from the western part of Lake Lanao was obtained from the Microbiology Laboratory of the Biology
Department. Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) was the growth medium used for the test organisms while Nutrient Broth was the growth
medium used for the isolated actinomycetes. Results showed that out of the 34 isolated actinomycetes, there were only eight (23.53%)
potent, bioactive actinomycetes that inhibited the growth of Candida albicans by the mean of its zone of inhibition greater than thepositive control. These actinomycetes, with their corresponding mean values, were A3 (26.39 mm), A9 (21.83 mm), A11 (22.66 mm),
A18 (26.63 mm), A21 (24.74 mm), A25 (22.76 mm), A31 (14.76 mm) and A32 (16.88 mm). Whereas, only two (5.88%) of the isolated
actinomycetes inhibited the growth of Aspergillus niger by the mean of its zone of inhibition greater than the positive control. These
potent actinomycetes, with their corresponding mean values, were A11 (23.83 mm) and A31 (30.13 mm). With the results obtained
from this study, the search for new and effective drugs may hopefully be attained.

From the biota (structural parameter) and the P/R ratio (functional parameter), utilizing the microcosm, which is a microbial
ecosystem capable of constructing the basic ecological structure of general lakes, Daphnia (Moina macrocopa , the top-level predator
species in the food chain) and bacteria (Escherichia coli , the lowest-level prey species in the food chain) as foreign species invading fromoutside the lake ecosystem and conducted ecological risk assessment. When introducing the top-level predator species in the foodchain into the microcosm, there would be a risk that existing top-level predators would increase due to invasion of foreign organismsthat would become higher predator. When introducing the lowest-level prey species in the food chain, it was evaluated that there
would be no major impact on existing ecosystems. The influence of alien species on existing ecosystem depends on which trophic
stage the alien species are located, and the influence on existing ecosystem is shown to be stronger in high-level predator species infood chain more than low-level prey species in food chain.

were collected at 5 sites in lower and middle reaches of slightly polluted water. The results indicated that the amphipods foundwere unlikely to suitable indicator organisms for clean water. On identifying the species of the amphipods, it was found that a nonnative, invasive alien spicies Crangonyx floridanus (Bousfield1963) occurred in 4 sites of the research area. Jesogammarus (J.) spinopalpus(Morino1985) found in the remaining one site is a species abounds in lowland rivers and lakes in the Kanto region. Survey in the upperstream area revealed Jesogammarus (J.)paucisetulosus (Morino1984), which inhabits streams in the mountains in the Kanto, Hokuriku,

Unionidae are widely distributed throughout the world, and 15 species and 1 subspecies have been documented in Japan. In recent
years, 11 species are in danger of extinction in Japan due to the deterioration of environment in lakes. Therefore, as a part of studies
to conserve Unionidae , we aimed to better understand the foods that is necessary for juvenile to grow after fall out, and their ingestive
behavior. Juvenile mussels were collected from their host fishes, and grown on sediments with differently prepared biofilm. We foundthat growing amount became larger when biofilm was served as a food source. This positive effect was also observed when driedbiofilm was fed. Furthermore, we observed with a digital microscope the existence of cilia on their feet and digestive tract, and using
which foot palp-feeding was conducted and water flow was generated to feed. These results suggested juvenile of Unionidae feed
biofilm by foot palp-feeding.

Biodiversity is crucial for human well-being; it provides food, nutritional, ecological, economic and livelihood security. In 2010, parties
to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, a ten year framework for action
by all the countries to safeguard biodiversity and halt biodiversity loss. A pilot study was carried out in Chilika Lake for evaluating thestatus of biodiversity using the Nature Index (NI) tool developed by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA). Chilika is
one of the largest lagoons in Asia. This is the first Ramsar site of India and boasts a rich floral and faunal diversity. For evaluating thebiodiversity status, 25 indicator species were selected from Chilika (15 fish & 10 birds) and the time series data of these indicatorspecies were fed into the NI database. The NI values were calculated using the R-package and the status of biodiversity was visualised
though a colour coded map (e.g. red-very poor; orange, yellow and green-gradual improvement; and blue-good).NI is a well-designed
policy tool that synthesises biodiversity data and helps in monitoring the status of biodiversity. This monitoring tool can be used for
identifying the threat status of a species/ecosystem and guides policy makers to take important policy measures towards preventing
the loss of biodiversity. The outcome of the study will be presented during the conference.

Terrestrial and freshwater mollusks comprise one of the most diverse groups of animals. The mollusks are generally known as
good ecological indicators and, because they are slow-moving and easy to observe, they have great potential for use in education.
To describe the species composition and diversity, we surveyed terrestrial and freshwater mollusks on the University of Tsukuba
campus in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Between May 2017 and April 2018, we recorded 22 terrestrial and five freshwater molluscan
species in 15 surveys at 28 sites. Commonly observed species were Euhadra brandtii brandtii (local name, Hitachimaimai), Zonitoides
arboreus (Kohakugai), and Acusta despecta sieboldiana (Usukawamaimai) in terrestrial ecosystems and Pseudosuccinea columella(Habutaemonoaragai) and Physa acuta (Sakamakigai) in freshwater ones. Introduced species were also observed: six were terrestrial
and two were freshwater species, accounting for about 30% of the total recorded species. The molluscan species are threatened
globally by anthropogenic disturbances. Our results will be used for science and environmental education, management of introduced
species and identification of important areas for biodiversity conservation.

To keep abreast with the need to discover new antibiotics and help address problem on antibiotic-resistance, this study was
conducted to isolate, screen, and identify potential antibiotic-producing fungi from Lake Lanao along Ditsaan Ramain, Taraka, and Marawi
City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines. Isolation of fungi from sediment samples followed Serial Dilution Pour Plate Method resulting to theisolation of 126 kinds of fungi based on colony, hyphae and reproductive spores in slide cultures. Antibiotic screening was done using
Cotton Swabbing Technique which showed 10 (7.94%) isolates with antibiosis activity based on the zone of inhibition (ZOI) aroundeach fungal isolate against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . Acremonium sp., Pestalotia sp. 1, Sporotrichum sp., and Cladosporium sp.
inhibited both test bacteria with average ZOI of inhibition of 2-17.5 mm. Pestalotia sp. 2, Scopulariopsis sp., and Aspergillus sp. 2 inhibitedS. aureus only whereas Curvularia sp., Aspergillus sp. 1, and Penicillium sp. inhibited E. coli only with 7-9.5 mm and 2.75-6.25 mm averagezone of inhibition, respectively. The fungal isolates will be further tested against other pathogens and their antibiotics produced will belater purified and utilized for drug development, thus, could be of economic and medical importance.

Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China, locates in the northern Hunan Province and connectes to the Yangtze
River. The lake has three Ramsar wetlands of international importance and shows rich biodiversity.
The vegetation in Dongting Lake composes by 229 seed plants belong to 58 families and 150 genera. Among these plants, 97% of
species belongs to herbs. However, the number of the invasive plants reaches 43 species, belong to 34 genera and 19 families. The
most typical invasive plant in the Dongting Lake is poplar plantations and their effects on the native plant diversity were investigated.
On the whole, large-area of poplar plantations increased species richness and diversity index. However, they changed the species
composition and decrease the number of aquatic species and native species. Therefore, biodiversity protection must be enhanced in
the Dongting Lake wetlands.

For successful reintroduction of storks, winter-flooded rice cultivation has been introduced widely in paddy fields in the Toyooka
Basin of the Hyogo prefecture, Japan. We studied the overwintering status of aquatic animal communities in winter-flooded paddies(WFP). The number of taxa of aquatic animals in winter-flooded paddies did not differ from that of conventional water management
paddies (CWMP), fallow-field biotopes (FFB), and canal-type biotopes (CTB). Aquatic animals were more abundant in CWMP thanin WEP. In addition, community structures of Odonata, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera were roughly divided into CWMP and WFP, andFFB and CTB, respectively. Our results show that winter-flooded rice cultivation is not very effective for the overwintering of aquatic
animals, compared with conventional paddies and fallow-field biotopes. Therefore, it may be necessary to develop various types ofoverwintering environments at the regional scale in paddy fields for conservation of the aquatic animal communities.

Development of intensive fish cage farming in reservoirs and lakes could pose threats to the environment. Ecological carrying
capacity assessment is useful for sustainable aquaculture production and rational use of water bodies. The current study estimatedthe ecological carrying capacity for a tilapia cage culture on Lake Volta. The ecological carrying capacity was predicted using Dillon
and Rigler mass balance model, taking into account water quality data and average production data of feed and fish compositions
and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The phosphorus load to the environment estimated per tonne of fish produced was 22.77 kg P t -1
for the farm. The calculated capacity was 6,363 ty-1 for the farm area. The estimated capacity was about 14 times higher than thepresent production (450 ty-1) in the zone. This suggests that further cage culture of tilapia could be established in the lake withoutcompromising the water quality and the ecosystem. However, monitoring of water quality should be undertaken periodically toaccurately determine the state of the lake in order to both confirm and refine predictions.

Unionidae have many ecological functions which play an important role for aquatic ecosystem. For examples, their shell areused for spawning grounds of fishes, and they supply habitats and hiding places for fishes. In addition, they maintain water quality.
Fifteen species of Unionidae inhabit in Japan, among which eleven species are listed on Red-data-book edited by the Ministry of theEnvironment in Japan. Therefore, conservation of Unionidae is urgent, and for that, it is important to better understand the environment
where they inhabit abundantly. In this study we investigate Anenuma-lake in Aomori, the northernmost part of the main island ofJapan. We evaluated the environment of habitat where Hyriopsis Schlegeli , Inversiunio jokohamensis , and Sinanodonta spp. were distributed.
Habitat distribution of the three species of Unionid mussels in Anenuma-lake was successfully explained by the habitat distribution
model, created using habitat evaluation procedure (HEP). This method is expected to be applicable for the habitat evaluation of the
Unnionidae in other lakes. The target variable, and the explanatory variable was the indispensable conditions for survival (depth, DO,

In urban and peri-urban environments, it is thought that habitats of wild mammals are limited. So to clarify environmental featuresin there are very important for biodiversity conservation. Therefore, in this study, we focus on the feature of "inland water" as the oneclassification of land cover. Inland water environment such as rivers and lakes is assumed to be a suitable habitats for wild mammals
in urban and peri-urban environments and we tried to verify it. For that purpose, we analyze the relationship between appearance ofwild mammals and land cover, taking examples of Tsukuba city, Ibaraki prefecture. We interpret road-kill data as appearance of wild
mammals, 357 records of raccoons, weasels, rabbits, raccoon dogs and masked palm civet. And we use the National Land Numerical
Information as land cover data. From GIS analyzing, we clarify the distance from each point of appearance to the land cover (forest
areas, agricultural areas, urban areas, and inland water).

This study was conducted to probe the stakeholders’ perception of stress exerted to the regulating services provided by Baloi
Lake and its impact to the respondents’ health employing structured interview technique. Study results showed that most of the
respondents are young (65%), having blue collar job (fisherman or unemployed), and an old time resident in the area (15 to above
25 years residency). They have low weekly income (65%), who reached high school level, or high school graduate (62.50%), andresiding near the lake shore (57.50%). Most respondents perceived regulating services (biodiversity, food chain, plant and animal
habitats, climate moderation, pollution absorption by wetlands, and drought mitigation) as degraded. However, these environmental
degradations were not affecting them, their families, and the municipality. There existed a direct relationship between the perceptionof the respondents’ residency years in the municipality and the pollution absorption by wetland. Also, a direct relationship is observed
between the respondents’ health impact and the distance of their residence from the lakeshore.

I reviewed and compared previous studies on native piscivorous fish, three-lips (Opsariichthys uncirostris uncirostris ), in Lake Biwa,
conducted in 1960s and 2010s, for examining effects of ecosystem changes on the population in the lake after 1970s. I compared food
habits, length-weight relationships and growth of the fish species between the two studied periods. For the food habits, predations
on small cyprinid and gobiid preys by the three-lips declined in 2010s, compared to the results from 1960s, while the three-lips weremainly piscivorous between the two studied periods. Length-weight relationships in adult females observed in 2010s were smaller
than those in 1960s. The fishes that were 3-years and older observed in 2010s were shorter in standard length than those in 1960s. In
conclusion, I found that changes in food items and downsizing in body shapes and lengths of adult fishes in the three-lips populationin Lake Biwa were observed between 1960s and 2010s. I suggest that changes in fish fauna, due to destruction of littoral areas andinvasions of non-native predatory fishes after 1970s, may have affected ecology of the three-lips.

Latterly, the loss of biological diversity of aquatic plants has become an important issue by water pollution and development in theLake Suwa. For the conservation of the aquatic plant communities, it was necessary to grasp the condition of the rivers and irrigation
channels around this lake, but there was little knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to know the environmental
condition, distribution, and structure of aquatic plant communities of the rivers and irrigation channels around this lake to conserve
particularly these endangered species. We chose two investigation areas from the northern part and the southern part of the lake.
Vegetation and environmental conditions of the riverside communities were investigated in 2015. All investigation plots were 661,
and the area of one quadrat was 1square meters. The dominance of the appearance species in each plot were measured. And, theenvironmental conditions were measured and recorded as follows; water quality, agricultural and dredging managements and so on.
Furthermore, we carried out hearing investigation about the management situation. All of the number of appearance species was 75.
Particularly, the number of endangered species was 17. Eleven types of communities were distinguished by a TWINSPAN classification.
These were primarily classified into three river types, four spring water types, and four lowland weed types. The environmental
condition such as quality of bottom or the quality of the water was different in the northern part and the southern part of the lake. It
was thought that they influenced difference in species composition.

A monthly sampling exercise was carried out twice in February-June 2011 and February-April 2012 in Lake Baringo to identify andmap the fishing, breeding and nursery grounds. The ultimate goal was to set aside closed fishing areas for fish breeding and wildlife
conservation, thus enhancing sustainable management and mitigate conflicts in the lake. Fishing grounds were identified by visiting thesites where fishing gears had been set and establishing the geographical positions where gears were set using a GPS.
In the southern zone of lake there were three major fishing grounds during the 2011sampling period. These were: i) along theeastern shoreline of lake between the mouths of Rivers Ngasotok and Molo, ii) along the western shoreline between the mouths ofRivers Perkerra and Kapthurin and iii) there area between Lesukut Island and mouth of River Ngasotok. During the same period, fishingground in the central zone was identified around Kampi ya Samaki, Kokwa and Samatiany islands towards the north. In the northernzone, fishing grounds was located between Rongena Island and Komolion.
During the high lake water level (2012), there was a substantial geographical migration of the fishermen particularly to theintermittent lake and areas which were hitherto land. The geographical migration of the fishermen was probably motivated bymigration of fish in large numbers to the intermittent lake.The fact that some fishing grounds fall within the legal closed fishing areas
implies that enforcement of fisheries laws is not effective or is not being done at all.

1Fish emigrations from lakes and factors influencing the movements were studied using one-way traps sited at the mouth of inflow
channel for twelve farm ponds. It was the Pseudorasbora parva to which the highest number of emigrant was captured, and top fivespecies, including P. parva , with high occurrence in the studied ponds were account for about 96% of all emigrants captured. There wasa significant positive relationship between a shoreline alteration level (i.e. proportion of concrete bank) and the fish emigration, and
the GLMM and the model averaging analysis showed that the shoreline alteration level was the major factor influencing the movement.
Meanwhile, emigrations of planktivorous fish species tended to have positive association with a density of zooplankton in the inflow
channel water. Our results indicate that the anthropogenic change in lakeshore environments could have a significant impact on the
behavior of lake-dwelling fish species. It is also suggested that not only lake environments but also inflow environments could influence
the fish emigration from lakes.

Freshwater fish species that widely inhabit both lentic and lotic environments are thought to be able to adapt to fluctuating flow
conditions in terms of locomotion. In adapting to the different functional demands of lentic and lotic habitats on fish energetics,
physostomous (open swim bladder) fish may optimize their locomotion and activity by controlling their net buoyancy; however, few
buoyancy studies have been conducted on physostomous fish in the wild. We deployed accelerometers on free-ranging channel
catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , in both lentic (Lake Kasumigaura) and lotic (the Tone and the Yahagi River) habitats to quantify theirswimming activity and to determine their buoyancy condition preferences in relation to flow conditions. Individual comparisons ofswimming efforts between ascent and descent phases revealed that all fish in the lentic habitat had negative buoyancy. However, alllentic individuals showed many descents without gliding phases, which was contrary to the behavior predicted to minimize the costof transport. The fact that significantly fewer gliding phases were observed in the lotic habitat, together with the existence of neutrally
buoyant fish, indicated that channel catfish seem to optimize their locomotion through buoyancy control based on flow conditions.
The buoyancy optimization of channel catfish relative to the flow conditions that they inhabit may reflect an adaptation to various
freshwater environments.

Hydrological controls from damming upstream heavily affect the flow-sediment regime and water chemistry of floodplain lakes
downstream, and thus cause profound impacts on lake ecosystems, which have been widely proven. However, with this series ofdisturbances, the intra-annual distribution of benthic invertebrates may be affected but it is not clear by now. This research aims to
explore benthic invertebrates (BI) response to hydrological process variation induced by upstream reservoir regulation, using three
years (1995, 2004 and 2014. The Three Gorges Reservoir started operating in 2003) paired hydrological database and monitoringdata of BI in Dongting Lake. The results showed that: the intra-annual distribution of BI significantly responded to upstream reservoir
regulation, but this response was not sustained. Hydrological variation in dry season and in wet season seemed to have greater
impacts on Aquatic Insecta while the variation in wet season has greater impacts on Mollusca . Sediment concentration and waterchemistry were proven to be the critical variables. Sediment concentration was positively correlation with the intra-annual distributionof Aquatic Insecta . Flow and water level were closely related to Mollusca and Oligochaeta . Water chemistry was most closely related to
Other Taxa . This work would provide valuable information for design of lake management strategies and upstream reservoir regulation
rules.

The presence of invasive alien species in freshwater ecosystems, such as freshwater crayfish, can give a significant influence to native
species and humans. This study aims to confirm species, distribution, and impact of freshwater crayfish. The study was conducted in
the lake, reservoir (artificial lake), and situ (small lake) in West Java area on May to October 2017 with survey methods and descriptive
analysis. Morphologically, there are two invasive alien species of freshwater crayfish in West Java, namely Cherax quadricarinatus andProcambarus clarkii . Cherax has been widely distributed in inland waters of West Java region. Cherax has been found in all lakes in altitude <1000 meters above sea level. Meanwhile, P. clarkii is only found in ornamental fish traders in Bogor, which is originated from cultivation
activities in Sukabumi area. Ecologically, the presence of freshwater crayfish, especially Cherax quadricarinatus , has decreased the
population of native species of small crustaceans, such as in Lake Lido, meanwhile, in other sites it has not occurred. During the study,
there has never been any incidence of freshwater crayfish as a plague vector on human. Economically, the presence of both freshwater
crayfish can give a positive impact to local people, both for consumption and ornamental fish.

Although the precise introduction route of the water primrose in Japan is still unknown, it was first recorded in Kasai city of Hyogo
prefecture in 2007. And then it was found in Akanoi Bay, Lake Biwa in 2009. Water primrose has expanded rapidly and has become
one of the most damaging invasive plants, currently extending to about 300,000 m2. In the water, its dense stem becomes a habitat formosquitoes; moreover, sediments accumulate and inhibit the flow of water. A number of physical measures have been used to control
the expansion of the water primrose, including mechanical harvesters, rotovators, and hand removal, but results have largely beenpoor.In order to develop measures to counter the expansion of invasive alien aquatic plants in Lake Biwa the present project aimed
to identify new techniques for the removal of aquatic plants and methods for suppressing the spread of effluent water from industries.
The purpose of this project is to support the development of new technologies by subsidizing those adopted by Shiga prefecture.
We applied the project program and adopted an herbicide management method for water primrose control. We used Basta® as an
herbicide and its effects were tested using water primroses cultured in a plastic bucket, and as expected it was completely eliminated.
In addition, acute toxicity tests for aquatic organisms were conducted using Medaka (Oryzias latipes ), Daphnia (Daphnia pulicaria ), andHonmoroko (Gnathopogon caerulescens ) from Lake Biwa. High safety conditions were confirmed.

Lake Kasumigaura has developed as a lagoon in the east part of Kanto Plain by sea level rise during the Jomon period. Its mouthpart was gradually closed with accumulated sediment, and it changed into a fresh water lake by the end of the 17th century. During
the 20th century when Japan was just in the economic development and modernization, the lake suffered from substantial changes
for the prevention of flood and utilization of water for irrigation, industry and public purposes. To realize these purposes, a water gate
was constructed on the Hitachigawa-river, connecting to the Pacific Ocean via the Tone-river. As a result, the flow of salt water into thelake was prevented and the lake water changed into full fresh water, and the disconnection restricted the passage of migratory fishes.
Many migratory fishes, such as Japanese eel and Japanese seabass, decreased remarkably. However, some other fishes, such as smelt
and icefish transformed their life mode into landlocked form, and now they can complete their life cycles without going down to thesea. Another structural change was brought by the construction of concrete walls surrounding whole lake shores. This gave serious
damages to shore vegetation, resulting in the decrease of many shore-living fishes. Excessive eutrophication sometimes results in a lackof oxygen, which kills bivalves and decreases bitterlings. In addition, some invasive fishes, such as largemouth bass and channel catfish,
have established widely in the lake, giving high predation pressure on small fishes. Lastly, some suggestions are given to conserve anappropriate fish fauna in Kasumigaura.

PONDAGERyo Tsunokake
Iwate Prefectural University
We investigated the habitat of Procambarus clarkii , which is an invasive alien species living in a constantly watered regulating pondage
located in Takizawa City, Iwate Prefecture. From the result of a population estimation, the number of crayfish inhabiting the pond wasestimated to be about 300 to 1,200 individuals. From a capture survey, it was confirmed that the species was distributed more toward
the shallow places of this pond; the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the bottom layers of deep places tend to be lower due
to eutrophication, making them a harsh environment for the crayfish, even though it is a benthic organism. Although egg-brooding
individuals were not captured during the survey, the cement gland appeared in individuals on September 7 and larvae-holding
individuals were observed on October 3; it is specified that the approximate spawning season of the crayfish in this pond is September.
Henceforth, we will attempt to install traps in high frequency during the spawning season, in order to increase the effectiveness ofextermination by capturing incubating individuals. Additionally, we would like to investigate the predation relationship in the pond, toclarify the ecological niche of the crayfish in an effort to find suitable management methods.

Limnoperna fortunei, a specific alien species, its existence was confirmed for the first time in Lake Kasumigaura in 2005. Ibaraki
Prefectural Public Enterprise Bureau conducts a water supply project at 10 water purification plants, of which 6 water purification
plants take Lake Kasumigaura water. The Kasumigaura water purification plant, which is one of these, takes Lake Kasumigaura Nishiurawater. At the water intake facilities of this water purification plant, the bar screen is confirmed to be blocked by a mass of Limnoperna
fortunei from 2016, and there is a possibility that it will be impossible to supply water with the planned amount of water. Therefore, at
this water purification plant, we have taken countermeasures such as changing intake patterns and removing the blocked Limnoperna
fortunei with the human power, so that we can supply water for stations steadily. Moreover, when we investigated the actual conditionof Limnoperna fortunei in the water intake plants taking Lake Kasumigaura Nishiura or Kitaura, it was revealed that the number ofoccurrences of Limnoperna fortunei is smaller in Kitaura than in Nishiura.

Nine plant species designated as specified invasive organisms have been established in Ibaraki Prefecture. Among those, Gymnocolonis
spilanthoides was first found in 2005 in Nishiura, main body of Lake Kasumigaura. This plant, together with Alternanthera philoxeroides
and Myriophyllum brasiliense, explosively propagated in Shintonegawa waterway that flows into the lake. These plants were removed
by Ibaraki Prefecture in 2011, but they grew again as before within several years in the same areas. Because of their high propagation
ability, their spreading over Nishiura was easily expected. Therefore, based on the distribution surveys made in and around
Kasumigaura from June 2016 to September 2017, their removal was again performed in Shintonegawa areas between 2017 and 2018.
Considering extreme difficulty in the complete removal of once established invasive plants, more effective measures against extensionof their distribution, re-propagation and invasion of newcomers should be developed.

It is suggested that the impact of climate change on the water environment of lakes in Japan is evaluated as critical in thegovernment's adaptation plan.. However, the water quality change of lake has regional characteristics. So it is necessary of the detailed
simulation etc. for each lake in order to grasp the specific impact. Therefore, the Ministry of the Environment selected three types ofthe model lake from the viewpoint of climate change as a whole circulation failure, eutrophication, change in snow melting, etc. Next,
future weather conditions provided from the climate model were set. And by using those conditions, future water quality prediction
was carried out using the water quality prediction model, and attempts were made to evaluate the change in lake water quality andthe impact on the ecosystem. As a result, the following facts were found out. Firstly, the lake water quality change in future is large
and it is necessary to use prediction results of multiple cases for impact assessment. Secondly, it is necessary to set appropriate
evaluation items according to the lake characteristics. Thirdly, in extracting adaptation measures to reduce climate change impacts, itis necessary to consider that the adaptation measures separately according to the difference in occurrence frequency.

In an estuarine environment, it is thought that anthropogenic organic matter dissolved in river water concentrates and precipitatesby salting out effect, but few examples of observation at the site are known. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the relationshipbetween salinity and dynamics of bisphenol A (BPA) representing an anthropogenic organic compound in dissolved organic matter(DOM), particulate organic matter (POM) and sediments at Sagami River, Tokyo, Japan. The ratio of BPA concentration in DOM to thatof BPA in POM showed a trend that sufficiently decreased with salinity of 5-10 ‰ implying BPA shifted from the DOM fraction to thePOM fraction by the salinity effect. The location of the estuary that experiences this salinity range (5-10 ‰ ) was slightly upstream ofthe most estuary. Furthermore, a sediment sample having a salinity range of 5-10 ‰ as a mean value showed the highest concentrationof BPA comparing with other sediment samples where have lower (< 5 ‰ ) or higher (< 10 ‰ ) salinity ranges. The concentration of
BPA in sediment at that location was significantly higher than the concentration of upstream and downstream sediments. These results
clearly indicate the salinity that effects the concentration and accumulation of anthropogenic organic compounds in an estuarine
sediment.

Lake Suigetsu is a brackish lake where anoxic conditions were formed by constructions of irrigation canals beginning in the Edo
period to prevent flooding damage. Sterols alter into stanols under anoxic conditions by bacterial reduction of double bond at a
5 position. Therefore, a proportion of stanol to sterol (stanol/sterol ratio) in geochemical sample show higher value under anoxic
conditions. In this study, we investigated to reconstruct formative history of the anoxic conditions in Lake Suigetsu from the past to
the present using stanol/sterol ratios recorded in the Lake Suigetsu sediment. Stanol/sterol ratios and farnesol (originating from greensulfur bacteria) show a relatively high values from starting of the construction, implying that these tracers clearly recorded the pastanoxic conditions. On the other hand, the highest values of the tracers were around the surface sediment, implying that the present
anoxic conditions in Lake Suigetu were formed after the most recently flood prevention work. These results ague that artificial activities
contribute a factor to greatly change lacustrine environments.

Regime shifts between macrophyte-dominated clear-water state and phytoplankton-dominated turbid-water state have been widelyreported. On the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River with a dominance of subtropical climate, there are hundreds of shallow lakes. This
major geographical area with its well-developed water system and fertile soil was one of the “cradles” of Chinese civilization. However,many lakes in the basin have suffered for decades from cultural eutrophication and fishery over-exploitation, causing increased
phytoplankton, deteriorated vegetation and lowered clarity. In this talk, I’d like to introduce our study on regime shifts in thesesubtropical shallow lakes. Based on a combination of multi-lake comparisons and long-term monitoring, we analyzed the existence ofalternative states, thresholds of total phosphorus and turbidity for the regime shifts, potential effects of intensive aquaculture and highammonia concentration, maintenance of alternative states.

Ciliated protozoans are one-celled organisms known as bio-indicators of organic pollution in freshwater ecosystem. The study
intended to determine the presence, distribution and abundance of ciliates in Lake Lanao at the littoral and pelagic zones of Marantao,
Lanao del Sur during summer season of 2016. It also aimed to determine the trophic state of the waters in sampling stations. Ten(10) morphologically distinct ciliate species belonging to 6 genera, were observed in littoral zone while 11 species belonging to 7
genera in pelagic zone. In both zones the abundances of ciliates were quite low except for station 3 in the littoral zone and it wassignificantly different from rest of the stations in both zones. The said station was readily accessible for human activities thus probably
had higher organic load during sampling which may account for its higher abundance. Although the average abundance of ciliates in
the littoral zone (201.56 cells/m3) was higher than the pelagic zone (29.19 cells/m3), but the difference was not statistically significant.
Interestingly, the ciliate abundance data when compared to a trophic state classification standard for lakes, the results implied that thewater quality in both zones are still categorized as ultraoligothrophic, that is, the water was still pristine and fit for drinking. Speciesof Paramecium, Vorticella, Podophrya, Tetrahymena were commonly distributed in both zones which is reflective of their cosmopolitan
distribution. Oxytricha sp. and Loxodes sp. were observed in littoral zone only while Glaucoma sp., Opercularia sp. and Euplotes sp. in

To examine factors regulating the summer population dynamics of tintinnid species, temporally high- frequency observations oftintinnid ciliates were performed in Hiroura Estuary in Sendai Bay. Sampling was conducted on alternate days from 5 July to 2 August2010 at three estuary sites to examine which environmental (water temperature, salinity and tidal level change) and biological(abundances of Chl- a , bacteria, protozoans and zooplankton) factors are important for determining temporal changes in abundance
and apparent population change rates for tintinnid species. During the study period, 20 tintinnid species were found and showed
drastic population changes within a few days, resulting in different tintinnid assemblages from the first to the second half of the study
period. Multivariate analysis and generalized linear mixed models showed that several environmental and biological factors wererelated significantly with the abundance and apparent population change rate of each tintinnid species, but no effect of potential
predators such as copepods was found for the abundance and change rate. These results suggest that physicochemical and foodconditions play more important roles than predation pressure in short-term temporal changes of tintinnid populations during summer
in estuary environments.

Biomanipulation for controlling cyanobacteria using the filter-feeding function of bivalves has been studied for the purpose of
improving lake water quality, but little is known about whether freshwater bivalves can assimilate cyanobacterial cells after ingesting.
In this study, we examined the assimilation ability of cyanobacteria by Unio douglasiae , which was kept from July to November, 2017at the bottom lake Hachiro. The cyanobacterial bloom occurred during July to September. We analyzed the stable isotope ratiosof carbon and nitrogen and the fatty acid compositions in U. douglasiae and suspended matters of overlying water every two weeks
during the experimental period. The stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen of U. douglasiae did not reflect the change of thosein suspended matters. However, the abundance ratio of cyanobacterial fatty acid biomarker (18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3) to diatom fatty
acid biomarker (20:5ω3) in the U. douglasiae significantly increased during the occurrence of cyanobacterial bloom. In this period, asignificant positive correlation was found between the condition index [dry weight (g)/ shell length (mm) × shell height (mm) × shellwidth (mm)] of U. douglasiae and the contribution of cyanobacterial fatty acid in U. douglasiae (r = 0.8272, P < 0.01). The result suggeststhat U. douglasiae assimilates cyanobacteria and it may serve as a useful tool for in Lake Hachiro.

In this study, we conducted 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis of bacterial community structure in the surface water of Lake Hachiro,
Japan and examined the effects of environmental factors such as water temperature, rainfall, and nutrients concentration from 2014 to2016. Rainfall at July to August in 2014 was 2.5 times of those in 2015 and 2016, and two short algal blooms occurred at August andOctober. In 2015 and 2016, algal blooms were observed for a long term, but toxic algal blooms of Microcystis spp. identically occurredat autumn in all years. Furthermore, the similarity test derived that microbiota including algal bloom forming cyanobacteria from 2014
to 2016 was influenced by rainfall before 7 days and water temperature. It was suggested that dominant species of microbiota waschanged in the Microcystis spp. when there were high water temperature and few rain frequencies and changed in the Anabaena spp.
when there are a lot of rain frequencies. Because there had been no the analysis of bacterial community structure using the next

It is important to investigate protozoa and metazoan which can prey on toxic cyanobacteria, because the predation microorganisms
affect the population of toxic cyanobacteria involving worldwide problems. Moreover, we can apply such microorganisms to control or
remove toxic cyanobacteria. Therefore, we developed a method without monoculture to determine the 18S rRNA gene sequences forestablishing the local database in molecular ecological studies. The experimental procedure using a micro glass capillary for uncultured
protozoa and metazoan are shown as follows. Each swimming individual was captured by a glass capillary with the tip diameterof around 100micron meter under an inverted microscope. Then it was transferred into a drop of autoclaved water to wash theindividual. This washing step was repeated 5 times at least. Then it was transferred into a PCR tube, and 70% EtOH of 100micro L was
put in the tube to fix the individual. After drying completely, PCR mixture of 40 micro L (Tks-GFlex, Takara bio inc., Japan) was added
to the tube. A universal primer set for metazoan Metaz 2-F and Metaz 5-R (Machida, R., J., and Knowlton, N. PLOS ONE, Vol 7(9),e46180, 2012) was used for the PCR. Because DNA template concentration from one individual was very low, the optimal condition
for the PCR had to be found to obtain enough quantity of amplicons for DNA sequence. As a result, DNA sequences of several rotifer
species were determined.

In order to get insight into the impact of Three Gorges Dam operation on diatom structure and its function on silicon cycle due todiatom assimilation in the reservoir, Using the silicomolybdic blue method and modified Ragueneau method, dissolved silica (DSi)and biogenic silica (BSi) in the Xiangxi River were investigated monthly from February 2015 to December 2016 accompanying withthe diatom cell density. Our results indicated that diatom composition and their relationship with silicon concentration were different
between lacustrine site and riverine site,, respectively. Total diatom cell density ranged from 6.20 × 105 cells/L to 9.97 × 107 cells/L in
the lacustrine zone. It varied from 7.90 × 104 cells/L to 1.81 × 107 cells/L in the riverine zone. Diatom cell density in the lacustrine zone
was significantly higher than the riverine zone. Centric diatom (Melosira and Cyclotella) were the dominant genus in the lacustrine zone
during the whole study period. BSi has a significant linear relationship with diatom cell density. BSi transformation efficient is higher
while the standing BSi is lower in the riverine zone than the lacustrine zone. The results imply that TGD decrease the flow velocity
dramatically, contributing to a stable diatom composition, causing longer diatom growth period and progressive silicon depletion,enhancing silicon retention in the long term in the reservoir.

In this study, we estimated the seasonal change of the vertical distribution of water quality in a constantly watered shallow
regulating pondage. During the iced season, a stratification phenomenon was distinguished. The illuminance was 0 lux at the bottom
layer. Photosynthesis had not emerged. The dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the bottom layer was low because of organic
matter decomposition, although the water temperature was low. Water mixing occurs with ice melting; DO and pH were increasedby phytoplankton photosynthesis. Particularly, pH exceeds 11, which presents the possibility of damage to aquatic organisms. During
summer, stratification formed through the day and night, the DO concentration decreased. Phytoplankton activity with suppression
by photo-inhibition. In autumn, the water was diluted by heavy rains, but the DO concentration in the bottom layer remained low.
This regulating pondage serves roles of landscape formation and bird habitat, but the underwater environment presents a harshenvironment. Water quality improvement is also necessary to improve biodiversity.

Department of Biological Sciences, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City
Lake Lanao, one of the world’s ancient lakes, is scarcely studied. This review focuses on the hydrodynamics and plankton of
the pelagic system of the lake since it was first investigated in the 1960s to arrive at objective insights for an ecosystem-based
management of the lake. Significantly contributing to the lake water is the intact forest in the eastern sector of the Lake Lanao
Watershed. Still unstudied are major rivers and numerous intermittent tributaries that sustain lake water. Having an atelomictic
epilimnion, the lake is categorized as a warm monomictic type with overturn occurring in January to March. Nutrient levels when thelake was at its relatively pristine state indicated a high sensitivity to levels of dissolved nitrogen suggesting a pelagic ecosystem that isbottom-up or resource controlled. Recent water quality analyses in 2006 and 2014 indicate a eutrophic, coliform-contaminated, andinvasive zooplankton species-dominated state with anthropogenic input as the possible main driver. Hence, the flux of nutrients andpollutants should be a top priority of an ecosystem-based management effort within a Lake Lanao watershed biodiversity conservation
framework. An innovative socio-environmental approach involving participatory, multisectoral, multidisciplinary, integrated and comanagement efforts needs to be inherent in conservation efforts. Also integrated to the watershed modelling and management
framework is the looming climate change, which may undoubtedly lead to further loss of biodiversity services of Lake Lanao.

LAKE KASUMIGAURA
Jun Iwasaki
Professional Engineer (Fisheries : Aquatic Environment)
Comparative study was conducted on the occurrence and resolution of white turbidity in Lake Kasumigaura and the relationshipbetween the low level period and the increase period of the pond smelt resources, and the following process was thought to be
mediated. When the FSS decreases and turbidity is eliminated, the transparency increases and the light environment improves. Then,phytoplankton increases, and small zooplankton such as rotifers that feed on it increases. As a result, the survival rate of the pond
smelt larvae improves and the adult resources also increases. From the above, it was suggested that when white turbidity occurs, theamount of sunlight incident into lake water is insufficient, the photosynthesis by phytoplankton is inhibited, the primary production isdecreased, and the healthy structure of the original ecosystem is distorted.

Lake Ogawarako is a brackish lake, located in the east part of Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost main island of Japan.There,
catches are among the highest for inland fisheries of Japan. However, in recent years, eutrophication has been progressing, andmeasures for deterioration of the water quality is demanded.The purpose of this study is to better understand the current status andtemporal changes of hydrological characteristics such as halocline and circulating depths, which greatly influences the water quality.
To achieve that purpose, we conducted a long-term survey of vertical distribution of temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen at thecenter of the lake from 2006 to 2017.In spring and autumn, a vertical circulation was observed up to ca. 15m (just above halocline),
however, thermocline was formed near 5m in summer.Halocline was formed between 14-18 m throughout the year, with the densityof 16m fluctuated over observing period.The reason was partly attributed to the vertical mixing up to 16m by wind when strong
storms/typhoons hit, based on the Wedderburn number.Since a large amount of nutrients are accumulated in high salinity layer, thisfluctuation could greatly influence to nutrient status in shallower layer.

Susi Abdiyani
Watershed Management Technology Center
Eutrophication has worsened water quality in at least 15 priority lakes in Indonesia. Eutrophication level (oligotrophic, mesotrophic,
eutrophic, and hypertrophic) is one of indicators in defining lake health status. Based on eutrophication level, only two lakes were
oligotrophic, while the others were in eutrophic and hypertrophic conditions. To reduce lake degradation, vegetative rehabilitation inlake water catchment and riparian areas was proposed. Some studies provided information on vegetation for nutrient removal fromwater body. However, very few studies focused on measuring vegetation capability in Nitrogen (N) removal from soil. This researchaims to assess N content of plant species growing in Rawapening riparian as preliminary information on plant potency for N removal.
Plants and soil samples were taken in a relatively undisturbed riparian area in Bejalen village. Each plant was labeled with local nameand identified using “Tumbuhan Berguna Indonesia” book to determine their scientific names. There were nine plants found: Ampelas,
Cangkring, Elo, Gempol, Dempul, Johar , Waru , Bunga Kuning and Mangsi . Plant and soil N contents were analyzed in WMTC Laboratory.
Riparian soil N content was 0.21%. Ampelas, Mangsi and Cangkring had the highest N content with 0.24, 0.13 and 0.12%, respectively.
N content for Bunga Kuning was 0.7%, while for Lo, Gempol, Dempul, Johar were 0.5% each and for Waru was 0.3%. Ampelas, Mangsi and
Cangkring are potential for N removal as their N contents were approaching N soil.

Situated in coastal area of Benin, where more than four millions of people are living, lake Nokoue is the biggest lake in the West
Africa due to its big surface and halieutic(fisheries) productivity.Unfortnatly, this lake confronts a lot of challenges due to traditional
system of fishing called "Acadja" and bad domestic waste management.This study higlights that "acadja" practice and domestic
waste destroy the aquatic fauna and therefore threaten and disrupt food security of habitants by reducing fish productivity. As amatter of fact, this practice of "acadja" reduces the tranparency, light and increases water pollution through the proliferation of
aquatic plant which diminish the amount of dissolved oxygen in the lake.The analysis was made by spectrophotometer DR/2000
hach, multiparameter wtw 340 and atomic absorption spectrophotometry for toxic metal (lead) . The result has shown that dissolved
oxygen is above 1750mg/Land the content of nitrite is more than 15,25mg/L hhile lead concentration shows high values above WHO
standard. However, investigation was made among riverside habitants and has reveale that the weight of fiches is reducing drasticallyfrom year to year.

In September 2013, a direct purification demonstration facility - applying Coagulation Magnetic Separation technology - was installed
and operated on the shore of Tsuchiura Port; its main purpose was to remove phosphorus from the lake water, and thereby remove
the main nutrient necessary for the growth of phytoplankton directly from the lake. In this research, the authors aimed to document
port water quality improvement achieved by operation of the facility through examination of the port’s water quality. The decrease inphosphorus at Tsuchiura Port correlated with the increase in treated water volume from the operation of purification facility - overall,
phosphorus in the lake water decreased by about 23 kg. In particular, the purification effect of phosphorus in water area A wasparticularly high, and in addition, the reduction of chlorophyll a at Tsuchiura Port was recognized as being due to operation of thepurification facility. The authors have therefore been able to conclude that operation of the purification facility has been effective in the
suppression of phytoplankton.

Lake Hamana is a semi-enclosed brackish lake which is surrounded by agricultural land and urbanized area and has experienced
varying levels of water quality over time. Vertical profiles of nutrients, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen wereobtained monthly from 1995 to 2017. Freshwater samples, in addition, were also obtained in the river flowing into the lake. MannKendall trend analysis was used to establish the significance of the long-term trends for all parameters. Phosphate, TP, and TN
concentrations showed significant decreases at all lake stations, except for phosphate concentration at one station of the bottom
water and TN concentration at two stations of the surface water. At all river stations, TP and TN concentrations also showed significant
decreases. The phosphate decreases reflect the reduced load of organic matter and nutrients into the lake due to increasing sewage
coverage and implementation of advanced wastewater treatment techniques. In contrast, nitrate concentration increased significantlyin the eastern part of the lake, whereas ammonium and TN concentration decreased significantly. This may be an effect of nitrificationin the lake and/or insufficient wastewater treatment efficiency of nitrification/denitrification process. The ratios of DIN to phosphatein the surface waters were much higher than the Redfield ratio for all stations, and these ratios increased significantly during theobservation period. Continued declines in phosphate concentration and nitrate concentration increase could strengthen phosphorus
limitation of primary production in Lake Hamana.

1Salim Ali Lake is one of the historical lake in Aurabgabad city of Maharashtra State which was a planed city in midevial period. Priorly
known as, 'Khijjar Talao', later on , 'Delhi Gate Talao' and now known as, 'Salim Ali Lake'. This was an excellent example of the ancientwater supply system by means of, 'Nahar- E- Ambari', founded nearabout 400 years ago. Originaly the lake area was 54 acres and now
reduces to 34 acres placed and is a hub of migratory birds.
The sewage and effluent from residential and industrial areas may responsible for the contamination of surface water reservoirs.
The major factors contributing to the pollution of natural reservoirs of the city are; discharge of untreated sewage and effluent, poor
sanitation facilities, dumping of municipal solid waste, erosion from the catchment areas, etc. Aurangabad Municipal Corporation had
consructed a 5 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant in April 2013 on a lake basin.
In present study the water quality of Lake and outlet of Sewage Treatment Plant, were analyzed. The parameters such as turbidity,
Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, DO and Total alkalinity were not compatible with the prescribed standards.
Availability of sewage treatment plant is a crusial problem at highly populated cities. Lake ecosystem and Sewage Treatment Plant
should be studied simulteneously for the sake of conservation. There is an urgent need to improve the efficiency of STP so as toconserve such ancient water supply monument. Therby only we can made harmony with the aquatic ecosystem.

Lake Ushikunuma is located in the southern part of Ibaraki prefecture; its waters have long been used for agricultural purposes andfor fishing, but its water quality has deteriorated since approximately 1975 as development of its catchment increased. Therefore,in accordance with the Prefecture Lake Ushikunuma Water Quality Conservation Plan, the authors conducted water quality surveys
at multiple points in the lake and the influent river. In addition to documenting current water quality, the study involved plankton
surveys, gathering weather data, etc., in an effort to understand fully the pollution mechanism operating in the lake. In the recent, third
phase of the data collection program - 2012 to 2016 the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of the lake center and the incoming river
was lower than the COD of the third phase (COD: 7.2 mg / L, Total Nitrogen (TN): 1.3 mg / L, Total Phosphorus (TP): 0.059 mg / L),
however it remains higher than the final target environmental standard (COD: 5 mg / L, TN: 0.6 mg / L, TP: 0.05 mg / L in the lake), anddocumentation of the situation continues.

It is believed that in comparison to other types, forest catchments provide smaller quantities of allochthonous matter. Therefore,
they seem to be a factor that stabilize functioning of midforest lakes. Some papers point out that forested catchment can provide to
the freshwater ecosystems significant amounts of organic matter (humic acids) and trigger lakes humification. We estimated if winddispersed pine pollen may change water quality and accelerate increase of fertility of several lakes located in forested areas. We
found that pine pollen is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. Average phosphorus content was about 20 g kg and nitrogen about 22 g kg
of dry mass of pollen. Base on field experiment we estimated that during the pollen season (May - June) average pollen deposition isabout 12 g d.m. per a square meter of the lake. It gives, every year provision more than 20 kg of P and over 25 kg of N per one hectareof the lake. According to laboratory experiment we provided that pollen fell on the water very quickly release nutrients, and also
become culture for bacteria and fungi. In all investigated lakes we found the increase of concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus
in littoral zone during pollen season. Certainly this loads of nutrients may stimulate the development of primary producers and FPOM
consumers, however this requires further research.

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition represents an important source of reactive nitrogen to ecosystems. However, excessive N inputs
could cause adverse ecological effects. In present study, the Taihu basin was taken to explore the characteristics of N deposition andits contribution to water eutrophication. Results with the space technology from ArcGIS 10.0 show that the annual average of total
deposition (TN), total wet deposition (TNW) and total dry deposition (TND) rate were 6154, 1142 and 5012 kg km-2, respectively.
A significant positive correlation was found between the TN deposition contents with rainfall (R=0.803, P<0.01 ). The TN deposition
concentration have a significant negative correlation with the rain intensity (R=-0.783, P<0.01 ). The riverine input of TN was estimatedto be 112500 t N a-1. The main N pollutants come from domestic sewage (account for 48.88%) and agriculture (account for 28.17%).
TN deposition contributed to the lake was 14400 t N a-1 and accounted for 12.36% of annual riverine input of TN. Therefore, theatmospheric N deposition contribute to water N load can’t be ignored.

Water has vital role in all aspects of life with its significance visible in its sustenance to the environment, local economies,
food security, ecosystem productivity, and, health. The importance of freshwater throughout human history has been seen its
interrelationship with man. The importance of Lake Bosomtwe has been considered in relation to its quality and the services thisresource provides, considering the inability of humans to survive without it. The study involved twenty-six (26) riparian communities
surrounding the largest Crater Lake in Africa, the Lake Bosomtwe. Water sources such as lake, streams and boreholes used as drinking
water sources were collected quarterly for a period of two years. These were analysed bacteriologically for the determination of total
and faecal coliform, E. coli, Aeromonas sp. Enterococcus sp. Salmonella sp , Pseudomonas sp and total heterotrophic bacteria (THB) using
Membrane filtration and pour plate. The results showed variation of bacteria counts in all the water sources. The highest E. coli counts
31of 2.9x10 cfu/100ml was recorded in the lake and the least in the borehole 2.1x10 cfu/100ml. The difference between the total coliform,
faecal coliform and E. coli counts and the water sources was significant (p<0.05). Bacteria in the different water sources had higher
bacteria counts during the dry season than the wet season which are statistically significant (p<0.05). Drinking these waters without
any form of treatments could pose health risk to consumers because of the presence of bacteria from water pollution. These water
sources can however be used for domestic purposes.

We developed a method for quantifying NH2OH and N2H4. These are known as intermediates for nitrification, denitrification, andAnammox reaction. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of nitrogen circulation from the behavior of inorganic nitrogenspecies in brackish Lake Nakaumi. The lake is conenected to the Sea of Japan via the Sakai Channel. The seawater flows into theLake Nakaumi. Incoming seawater contains dissolved oxygen, and there is supply of dissolved oxygen to the bottom layer. As a result,the bottom layer of Lake Nakaumi is a microaerophilic environment. In the southern part of Nakaumi, NO2- and NH2OH, which areintermediates for nitrification, were detected at relatively high concentrations. From these results, it was suggested that the supply ofoxygen by inflow of seawater has a large effect on nitrogen circulation such as nitrification and denitrification.

Lake Tempe is a floodplain lake that located in South Sulawesi province, Indonesia. Since many years ago, Lake Tempe have been
providing great benefit for local people in daily activity and economically. This lake is as great fishery resources, and as nutrient
deposition especially in dry season. However, in recent years, some problems occurred in this lake, such as environmental degradationand decreasing fishery production. High sedimentation rate and aquatic plants blooming have degraded environment lake. The local
government plan to revitalize this lake by dredging some area of Lake Tempe. However as floodplain lake, there are some zones
that have ecological function for fishery as breeding zone and feeding zone. Base on this background, the aim of study is to reveal
nutrient dynamic in permanent and nonpermanent zone of the lake. That information will be used to determine the important zone forfishery or agriculture related to the nutrient rich or trophic level of this lake. The results indicated that concentration of dissolved total
nitrogen (diss-TN) in nonpermanent inundation zone (zone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) increased significantly when water level increased (July 2017).
The decomposed aquatic plants and residue fertilizer are supposed contribute to increase concentration diss-TN in nonpermanent
inundated zone. The concentration of diss-TN was 421 to 996 mg/m 3, it is categorized eutrophic to super trophic state. The
concentration of Dissolved Total Phosphorus (diss-TP) was increasing during medium water level, the concentration was higher than

The change of nutrient ratio in thelake water is caused by the advancement of purification by sewerage spreading and/or the uptake of silica by diatom.These changesof the nutrients ratio alter the species of alga that dominate in the summer.

Lake Lanao is the second largest lake in the Philippines, and is of great biological, ecological, economic and social importance.
Since the first studies by Frey and Lewis in early 70s , various changes have occurred. Thus, this study sought to assess the water
quality and make a determination of the trophic status of Lake Lanao during the period June 2016 - February 2017. An offshore
station was chosen to represent the lake. The Secchi disk depth was taken while measurements made for conductivity, dissolved
oxygen, pH, and temperature. Water samples were collected, kept in a cooler, and analyzed in lab for nutrients (nitrate-N, ammonia-N,
total phosphorus), alkalinity and chlorophyll-a. Dissolved oxygen value showed no lack of oxygen for use of the lake organisms. The
values for the other parameters showed good water quality and were in the range for that of a healthy lake. Based on the tableprepared by Brown and Simpson, and trophic status index (TSI) based on the equations formulated by Carlson gave values equivalent
to an oligotrophic-mesotrophic lake. Lake Lanao is trending towards eutrophication, which is a natural process in many freshwater
ecosystems as they age. However, since human-caused nutrient loading can accelerate this process, cultural eutrophication can becontrolled by community and management practices in the catchment basin that will restrict the input of pollutants into the lake.

The study was undertaken in Kisumu bay, Lake Victoria with objectives to determine water quality status, pollution levels andimpacts on lake waters. Parameters were analyzed using APHA method. Relationship between phytoplankton counts, nutrients andphysicochemical parameters was statistically determined.
River Kisat depicted poor water quality with mean DO 1.4 mg/l, Conductivity 844 µscm-1 and BOD 228 mg/l. Nutrients were highwith mean TN ranging 0.807 ± 0.170 mg/l to 5.390 ± 0.413 mg/l, while mean TP ranged 0.088 ± 0.010 to 0.317 ± 0.039 mg/l in thebay waters. Mean NO3-N and PO4-P was 0.055 ± 0.048 mg/l and 0.054 ± 0.042 mg/l respectively. Phytoplankton taxa, Cyanophyta,
Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta were identified, with 20 identified algae species. Chlorophyll “a” concentration was high0.308 ± 0.085 mg/ l. Positive correlation was observed on nutrients and phytoplankton densities with significant (r = 0.918) between
phytoplankton counts and TP. TN: TP > 12, indicating that P was the nutrient limiting factor. Transparency was low 0.47 ± 0.09 m. T P
and TN mean values 0.188 and 2.946 mg/l were beyond upper limits given by OECD of 0.02 mg and 0.2 mg/l.
Therefore, as a result of pollution from River Kisat, the elevated nutrients, low transparency, increased blue green algae and water
hyacinth in Kisumu bay is a sign of water quality deterioration and a water mass undergoing eutrophication. Mitigations recommended
included rehabilitation of Kisumu Municipal waste treatment plant, effecting sustainable water quality monitoring programme andenforcement of existing pollution control laws.

In organic geochemistry, indices relating to organic substances derived from plants such as lignin phenol and carbon stable isotopic
ratios (δ13 C) are used, and restoration of paleo-vegetation has been carried out. However, the compositions of organic matter mightchange due to biodegradation, physical and chemical decomposition. Therefore, it is important to grasp how to be changed of valuesof indices derived from changes of the organic matter. In this study, we investigated changes of the plant-derived organic matter
when flowing into soil and river. Samples were selected phragmites as C3 plant and Miscanthus as C4 plant, and besides plants, soils,
sediments and surrounding river water (POM, DOM) were collected in these colonies. As a result of measurement of these organic
matter and carbon stable isotopic ratios, the δ13 C values of plants is reflected well in the values of organic matter in soil and sediment,
and they gradually became large. It was also found that the acid/aldehyde ratio of lignin phenol increase after the leaves fell down
and the decomposition progressed in soil, sediment and water.

Ho Tay (West Lake), a more than 500 hectares natural lake is located in the Western of Hanoi Capital, Vietnam. The lake has played
very important role in ecosystem services for the city in the past, present as well as in the future.
After over a half century, flowing with the history of Vietnam, the management of West Lake could be divided into 3 periods: 1) from1954 - 1975: war for reunification of the country; 2) 1975 - 1986: socio-economic development after the war and; 3) 1986 - up to date(2017): “Open the door” or “Renovation” which lead to rapid urbanization of Hanoi Capital.
Despite of many efforts in management have been undertaken, in comparison with the 1st period, our research analysis showedthat in the 3rd period, water quality has been polluted, and biodiversity has been degraded seriously. Two hundreds of tons of fishes
and aquatic animals were died suddenly in October 2016!
This paper will touch upon the experiences and lessons learned after a half century in management of West Lake toward a better

According to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, it is concluded that global warming is very likely due to an increase in humaninduced greenhouse gases. Global warming is predicted to change the occurrence frequency and intensity of abnormal weather suchas intense heat and short time heavy rain, and it is thought that it will have a considerable influence on the lake ecosystem. Therefore,
In this study, we conduct a numerical simulation by inputting the outputs of Global Climate Model GCM20, a high spatial and temporal
resolution model, into a three-dimensional hydrodynamics and water quality model. it was showed that t temperature will risethroughout the year, and the occurrence frequency of heavy rain will increase in the future. Our simulation results showed that thewater temperature will rise by about 1.5 ℃ in all layers in the future. In addition, dissolved oxygen in the bottom layer will decrease by
about 2 mg / L. It was showed that climate change will cause further Hypoxia progression at the bottom layer in Lake Biwa. Moreover,it was showed that the change in heat exchange amount on the water surface is most dominant in the change in water quality in Lake
Biwa.

Knowing of paleo-climate and vegetation changes can be a part of information to take measures against rapidly climate changes
which will be to occur in the feature. In this study, we analyzed terrestrial organic compounds contained in a sediment form Lake
Baikal, where is located in Northern hemisphere high latitude region, as a paleo-vegetation tracer, and try to reconstruct paleoenvironmental changes around Lake Baikal. From the Lake Baikal sediment, characteristic terrestrial organic compounds of lignin
phenols, long chain fatty acids, and cutin acids were detected. These terrestrial organic compounds showed the highest concentrations
between 36 and 50 cm of depth of the sediment, implying high inputs of terrestrial plants at this interval. Furthermore, vegetation
tracers obtained by the lignin phenol composition indicated that these high inputs of plants had a high contribution of herbaceous
plants and degraded products. These vegetation characteristics is similar with the current west region of Lake Baikal, and it wasconsidered that the high inputs were transported by the strong wind coming from the west area.

Lake Kasumigaura is a shallow lake with a mean depth of 4 meters located in the southern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Various
water pollution prevention measures have been taken so far in the lake’s catchment, but while influent river water quality has been
improved, values for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) in the lake have not recovered
enough to comply with applicable environmental standards and the reason for this has not been clear. As a result, the authors
conducted a statistical analysis on long-term water quality variation in Lake Kasumigaura and examined the influence of climatechanges - such as global warming - on the lake’s water quality and ecosystem. At the center of the lake, our examination detected
regime shifts in 1977-1978, 1987-1988, and 2012-2013 for COD, in 1991-1992 and 2003-2004 for TN, and in 1991-1992 and 20092010 for TP, with similar evidence found at other stations in the lake. These timings roughly agreed with published timing for the Pacific
Decadal Oscillations (PDO), and so as the fluctuation tendency in phytoplankton cell number agreed well with that of climate changes,
it is suggested that the water quality and ecosystem of this lake are affected by climate change.

In this article, we studied 3 things.
First, in Lake Kasumigaura, Lake Tega and Lake Inba, we studied relationship between daily mean measured atmospherictemperature and daily mean measured water temperature. These three lakes belong to the Tone River basin.
Secondly, in Lake Inba, it was added to measured temperature from -5 to 5 ℃ . And we estimated water temperature using heatbudget method with the temperature. we studied relationship between processed atmospheric temperature and estimated watertemperature.
Finally, we set water temperature was estimated by measured atmospheric temperature as standard water temperature and we
studied the mean yearly differences between standard water temperature and water temperature was estimated by processedatmospheric temperature.
As a result, in first result, water temperature rose by 1 ℃ as atmospheric temperature did by 1 ℃ in three lakes.
And in second result, estimated water temperature rose by 0.9 ℃ as atmospheric temperature did by 1 ℃ in all simulation patterns.
In third result, change amount from standard water temperature to estimated water temperature using processed atmospherictemperature was 0.5 ℃ in that change amount of processed atmospheric temperature relative to 1 ℃ . This change amount of watertemperature was thought to be due to downward-Longwave radiation, latent heat flux and sensible heat flux including atmospherictemperature.

Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was measured in a closed brackish lake: the Aso Sea. Factors influencing SOD were analyzed. After
SOD measurements, dissolution tests were also conducted in stationary conditions. The elution rates of nutrients were also measured.
Results show that SOD (1.21-1.71 gO/m2/day) values of sediments, which were 1.5-3 times higher than those of Lake Biwa sediments,
were affected by oxygen consumption of hydrogen sulfide and organic matter in the sediment. Additionally, results demonstrated thenecessity of considering these comprehensive dynamics in SOD estimation because the effects of material behavior on SOD were also
evaluated. However, the TP dissolution test results show that the water exchangeability (fluidity) between the sediment pore water
and water phase above the sediment greatly involved dissolution characteristics. Results also demonstrated that elution of PO4-P was
slower than that of NH4-N because of the progression of reducibility. Its maximum value was found at the deepest site of the lake inboth summer and winter.

The increase in chemical oxygen demand (COD) in Lake Inawashio has become more marked as the pH has neutralized startingin the mid 1990s. As an increase in COD suggests an increase in organic matter concentration, there is concern of reduced
dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the bottom water during the stratified period. In this study, water temperature and bottomwater DO were continuously monitored. In the center of the lake, the bottom water was not extremely hypoxic in the presence ofthe thermocline, but one month was required for the bottom-water DO to recover after turnover of the water column. Across allobservation points, the bottom-water DO was lower with deeper water depth, suggesting that there was a mass of water with low DO
at the deepest point of the lake.

In terms of aquatic environments in Japanese lakes, there are several issues such as remaining at the same level of the achievement
rate of the Environmental Quality Standards for Water Pollution, low oxygenation of lake bottoms, overgrowth of aquatic plants, anddecline in native fish species. In response to these issues, bottom layer dissolved oxygen (DO) content and coastal transparency
have been added to the Environmental Quality Standards for Water Pollution in 2017. The effective measures for the conservation ofwater quality for the new standards were studied through the model projects for the actual lakes and predictive calculation of water
qualities conducted by the Ministry of the Environment. On the basis of these results, the preparation and publication of the guidanceon measures relating to the added standards has been scheduled to improve the achievement rate of the Environmental Quality
Standards for Water Pollution, and to realize desirable lake aquatic environments. In this survey, the simulation model was built inorder to analyze the factors influencing bottom layer DO depletion and evaluate the effectiveness of measures for the conservation oflake water quality. The constructed model was applied to the six lakes with different origination and usage, and the reproducibility andversatility were confirmed.

P3-41	FORMATION AND DECOMPOSITION OF POLYMERIC SILICATE IN PORE WATER
Jayeong Park, Masahito Sugiyama
Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyoto university
Dissolved silicate is easily adsorbed onto ferric hydroxides and then is semi-permanently buried in sediment. In some lakes, thedissolved silicates seasonally increase with hydrogen sulfide, as the silicate is eluted from ferric hydroxide by its reductive dissolution.
In this geochemical process, we found that polymeric silicate (PSi) was detected in freshwater lakes, but was not in brackish lakes.
Accordingly, we assume that the main source of PSi in the pore water is ferric hydroxide adsorbing silicates. Another major factor
controlling PSi content is NaCl concentration, as this salt is the most abundant component of brackish lake water.
We examined polymerization mechanism of silicate and the effect of NaCl on PSi decomposition. After leaving a test solution (0.6mM monomeric silicate (MSi), 0.3 mM Fe3+, 0 M NaCl and pH 7) for 1 month, precipitate and filtrate 1 (F1) were obtained and thenthe precipitate was made to react with a Na2S solution (pH 7). After 1 day, we collected Filtrate 2 (F2) and measured the MSi and PSi
of F1 and F2. PSi was only detected in F2 and its concentration was 0.2 mM. Thus, NaCl was added to natural pore water, which was
found to contain PSi. Most of the PSi was decomposed to MSi after 8 days. From these results, it can be concluded that PSi is formed
only at freshwater lakes but is not at brackish lakes. Because its formation is inhibited by the presence of large amounts of NaCl.

Collection of freshwatersnail particularly the Golden Apple Snail, P. canaliculata was collected using Opportunistic approach and hand picking and all samples
were subjected for acid digestion and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) analysis. Results showed that Manganese (6.099± 0.436 ppm) followed by Copper (3.325 ± 1.884 ppm), Lead (0.995 ± 0.332 ppm) and Cadmium (0.068 ± 0.012 ppm) respectively isbeyond the threshold level and exceeded the recommended safe limits set by the authorized agencies. Sediments in Manganese hada mean concentration 5.61 ± 0.206 ppm which is beyond the Recommended Safe Limits set by the standard of Food and Agriculture
Office (FAO) which is <100 ppm. Among the four heavy metals Manganese had the highest mean concentration 0.583 ± 0.217 ppm
in waters. Accumulation of heavy metals in aquatic organism particularly P. canaliculata was species dependent. Thus, strict monitoringof heavy metals particularly the Lead, Copper, Manganese, and Cadmium by Local Government Unit is highly encouraged to efficiently
study the hazard and effect of these four heavy metals on the aquatic environs of said lake and general public welfare.

Tonle Sap lake in Cambodia is the biggest lake in Southeast Asia. It is estimated that this lake accounts for ca. 60% of domestic
protein needs and more than 1 million people stay at the floating villages on the lake. However, they use the lake water directly
without sufficient treatments. Therefore, they are under threat of unsanitary water environment. In this study, we investigated themicrobial consortia in the lake water and sediment by using gene analyses. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene quantitative PCR,
bacterial concentrations of the sediment were approximate 108 copies･mL-1 throughout the year. This concentration was about 10100 times higher than that of water samples. The concentration of water sample in the dry season and rainy season were ca. 106-107
copies･mL-1 and 105-106 copies･mL-1, respectively. According to the result of next generation sequence (NGS) analysis, it was clarified
that the microbial consortia in the sediment samples were totally different from those in the water samples of every season. By
statistical analyses, it was revealed that in the rainy season (August) the diversity of microbial consortia was lower than that in otherseasons. Moreover, by the cultivation method using specific culture method, Escherichia coli and coliform were detected from the lakewater samples taken from the place near the floating village, but not from the place far from it. It is thought that only the lake water
near the floating village might be contaminated by human activities.

In order to elucidate changes in sediment environment after brackishing and characteristic of nutrients diffusion in Lake koyamaike,We survered horizontal distribution of sediment and characteristic of nutrients diffusion in laboratory experiment.
We analyzed bottom sediment of the whole area and compared to before brackishing. Sulfide increased obviously in deep area.TN
decreased in the whole area.
We examined influence that overlying water condition causes characteristic of nutrients diffusion. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen
Diffusion is increased due to high water temperature and high salinity, anoxia. Dissolved inorganic phosphorus Diffusion is increased
due to high water temperature and anoxia.
These result suggest that anoxia of bottom water caused by halocline obviously contributed to increase amount of nutrients release.

1Multifunctional aerators co-developed by the Japan Water Agency in 2009 were designed to simultaneously fulfill two main functions
related to water quality: oxygenation of deep water layers to relieve anaerobic conditions, and promotion of circulation of shallow
water layers to prevent algal blooms. In contrast, conventional aerators work effectively for either deep layers or shallow layers, but
not both. Since the multi-functional aerators were developed, 10 have been installed in four dams in the Yodo-gawa River catchment,
and in other dams in Japan and Vietnam. In this study, a field experiment was carried out at Hiyoshi Dam (Lake Amawaka, Kyoto
Prefecture, Japan) in spring 2016 to examine the effectiveness of the aerator in preventing the establishment of anaerobic conditions
in deep water layers. In the experiment, the vertical distribution of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations was measured around
one of the aerators installed near the dam wall for a three-day period after the aerator was in operation. Time-series analysis of DO
concentrations revealed that the oxygen transfer coefficient of the aerator was 10 to 20%, which corroborated the values predicted in
our previous studies.

Sediment oxygen demand (SOD)is closely related to change in dissolved oxygen (DO) in the bottom layer of lake which is a newenvironmental standard for aquatic environments. In this study, SOD was measured in Lake Biwa (the southern and northern basins)using a new simple measurement method for SOD. This method uses undisturbed sediment cores and measures SOD more easily ona smaller scale than the existing methods do. Thus, it was applied to the measurement of SOD at multiple points in Lake Biwa. SOD
measurement in the northern basin of Lake Biwa showed a seasonal variation during the study period (from May 2017 to February2018). In the southern basin of Lake Biwa, SOD measurements were conducted at two environmental reference points to evaluate thedifference between these points. Moreover, comparison was made between our method and an existing SOD measurement method
using a large sediment core (inner diameter 11 cm, length more than 25 cm). As a result, it was confirmed that both the methods
produced the same variation tendency. These results indicate that our new method will be effective to evaluate SOD at multiple points
in the lake environment.

Arsenic (As) has the detrimental effect on phytoplankton in numerous aquatic ecosystem. Extensive studies have been performed so
far to understand the biotransformation and uptake mechanism of macro and micro level algal species. The influence of cellular growthstages of phytoplankton related to biotransformation of As species is insufficient. In this study, we observed the As uptake mechanism
and biotransformation process by several phytoplankton species at different growth stages. It was observed that arsenic converted toinorganic arsenic and methylated forms mainly during the exponential growth stages of phytoplankton, while the methylation process
became reduced at the stationary growth stage in the culture medium.

We developed the activated carbon impregnated with elementary iodine (I2) named IodAC that keeps long period its chemical
activity. When we impregnated more iodine (ex. 1~10 wt%) to the activated carbon, IodAC shows strong anti-bacteria and -virus
activities, especially anti-avian influenza virus one, and its activities continue long period. Anti-avian influenza virus activity of IodAC
is much superior than that of slaked lime. On the other hand, when a small amount of iodine was impregnated to IodAC (ex. lessthan 0.1%~ppm level), this IodAC inhibits multiplication of the algae in the water; and in a closing water system, it inhibits not only
appearance of blue-green algae but also its multiplication. Mechanisms of these activities are unclear yet, but IodAC impregnated withelementary iodine is presumed to partially inhibit photosynthetic reaction (maybe Calvin cycle) of the algae.
For maintenance lakes and marshes in good environmental condition, we are developing our study using iodine activated carbon.

Shimen Reservoir in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, is the major water supply source for Taoyuan and partial New Taipei city area.
However, its water quality has encountered eutrophication problem. In the past 20 years, 40% of observed water quality was ineutrophic state. While erosion was controlled and the sediment problem was mitigate, nutrient concentrations, especially the total
phosphorous (TP), was still higher than standard concentration. The Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in Taiwan has
sought a complete watershed management plan to control TP from point and nonpoint pollution sources. In this watershed plan,
Total maximum daily loads (TMDL) is the core concept to manage pollution sources. This study is to demonstrate the whole processof establishing the TMDL of TP for Shimen Reservoir, including onsite water quality monitoring, simulation modeling, pollution sources
survey, and control cost analysis. A TMDL control boundary and the pollution reduction strategy for both point and nonpoint sourceswere suggested. The predict performance was also presented with verified models. In order to understand the nonpoint pollution
sources concentration of agriculture, a complete storm water sampling plan was carried out in this study. The result of sampling showsthat the export coefficient of total phosphorous of dragon fruit and bamboo is 18.52 mg/L and 28.84 mg/L, respectively. Moreover, theexport coefficient of total nitrogen of dragon fruit and bamboo is 2.06 mg/L and 7.63 mg/L, respectively.

Aiming at the restoration of a lake, it becomes essential to take the methodology of science, technology, management, finance, thelaw and administration all into account. The failure to recover good clear water despite the best efforts by researchers and government
proves insufficient. Peoples' unspoiled simple ideas or religious faith are also crucial to achieve improvement in a lake. Citizens,
fostering their minds to pour love into their lake, should be objective, not only through rational research, but also through philosophy,
psychology, ethnology and religion. This paper focuses on, through quoting many examples from different eras and countries,
comprehensive philosophycal suggestions for restoring desirable aspects of lakes,following a transition of human consideration tolakes everywhere and citing the local society around Lake Kasumigaura, Japan and the SF masterpiece "Solaris" written by S. Lem forcomparison.

It is planning the local creation of Oyama, Miho Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, by building group utilizing Seaplane. Seaplane is one of
the infrastructures used around the world. The reason is that it is possible to take off and landing water to many places at low cost.
Infrastructure development is finished now in Japan, and access to solitary islands and depopulated areas is inadequate. Therefore,in Japan where there are many waters, I think that it is possible to benefit a lot by using Seaplane from now on. Therefore, thepopulation was small, facing the water area, and targeted Miho village Oyama in Ibaraki prefecture as a site with which it is related
to the seaplane. Here is the rich nature called Lake Kasumigaura and there is a background that the Navy Air Corps used as a train

Excessive input of nitrogen fertilizer to agricultural fields caused eutrophication of adjacent river and water reservoir. To prevent
nitrogen pollution in the aquatic environment, it is essential to decrease the extent of nitrogen fertilizer application. Inoculation with adenitrifying bacterium Azoarcus sp. strain KH32C, which was isolated from rice paddy field, to rice seeds promoted early growth of rice
plant under nitrogen-deficient condition in a controlled environment. In this study, we examined the effect of strain KH32C inoculationin rice seeds on plant growth and root-associated soil bacterial community in paddy field without nitrogen fertilizer. We grew different
cultivars of rice in two paddy field soils with distinctive nitrogen and carbon levels. Inoculation with strain KH32C resulted in theincrease of rice plant biomass at early growth phase of Nipponbare under low nitrogen and carbon soil condition. The Zinc content
also increased in KH32C-inoculated Nipponbare brown rice compared with non-inoculation control. Moreover, metagenomics analysis
of rice root-associated soil bacteria showed that inoculation with strain KH32C influenced bacterial community structure in Nipponbareroot-associated soil. Our results indicated that strain KH32C might be utilized as bacterial inoculant in low-nitrogen input paddy fields.

This study conducted a life cycle assessment of new techniques and approaches in rice paddy cultivation. We evaluated reclaimed
land in Hachirogata, located in Japan’s Akita Prefecture. Non-puddling cultivation is a technique of planting rice without the puddling.
A rotary plow is used to plant the rice in finely crushed soil. Non-puddling allows a delay in irrigation. Thus, the soil is less likely to
become deoxidized and a smaller amount of methane gas is released from the disturbed soil. Sparse planting is a technique whereby
the planting stalk density is reduced by 30% (21 stalks/m2 to 15 stalks/m2), thereby reducing the material costs of producing seedlings.
We found that use of the non-puddling technique reduced overall GHG emissions to 69% of those produced by rice cultivation using
puddling. In the puddling area, the discharge process from the paddy field contributes greatly. With sparse planting, GHG emissions
were only reduced by a small amount to 93% of that of full planting. Analyzing the effect on eutrophication, the contribution of thedischarge process from the paddy field is large in the puddling area. The eutrophication impact was also reduced in the non-puddlingcultivation area, confirming that non-puddling cultivation contributes to improvement of the water quality environment. To reduce theimpact on the environment, it is necessary to properly introduce these cultivations.

To assess sources of terrestrial organic matter in lacustrine sediments in China, three sediment cores were collected from anarea of several square meters in a small catchment. Results show 126 years of sediment deposition, from year 1885 to 2011. The
accumulation rates ranged from 2.69 to 8.46 mm a-1. All sediment samples were dominated by odd numbered n -alkanes (n -C16-n -C33),
especially n -C17, n -C29 and n -C31 as the most abundant homologues. Aliphatic hydrocarbon fractions are mainly composed of terrestrial
higher plant-derived long-chain n -C29 and n -C31 alkanes. The most abundant compounds have been described as typical constituents oftrees and shrubs (C3 plants). The indicators indicate enhanced eutrophication resulted from increased anthropogenic activities in the

Lake Kasumigaura is the 2nd largest lake in Japan and within its basin, it hosts the largest volume of lotus root production in the
country. The Teno area in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture is also a center for a thriving lotus roots cultivation industry and was the first to
develop infrastructure particularly the separation of irrigation and drainage canals in Japanese lotus paddy fields. This took place overthe period from 1995 through 2015, and in this study, the authors researched changes in the Teno area compared to previous studies.
In consequence, balanced losses from lotus paddy fields in year were increased compared to previous studies. These results wereaffected separation of irrigation and drainage canals in the lotus paddy fields. Because, separation of irrigation and drainage canals
in the lotus paddy fields was decreased effect of soil sedimentation. However, balanced losses in the Teno area with its installed
agricultural infrastructure was similar to that of other lotus paddy fields in Tsuchiura.

Lake Ogawarako is a brackish lake located in a rural area of the east part of Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost part of the mainisland of Japan. There, eutrophication, which leads to the dominance of cyanobacteria, has become a big problem as is the case withother brackish lakes. To cope with this problem, we surveyed recent changes in the total amounts of total nitrogen (TN) and total
phosphorous (TP) in the whole lake water (hereafter refer to ΣTN and ΣTP, respectively) and its vertical distribution from Oct. 2010 toAug. 2017. ΣTN and ΣTP were 1092 ± 179 t and 109 ± 29 t, respectively. About 22-63% of ΣTN and 38-79% of ΣTP were distributed in
the high-salinity layer of 15-21m, which composed only 13% of the lake water volume. TN and TP amounts in this layer largely varied
temporally, suggesting that they were contributing significantly to the TN and TP amounts in the low-salinity layer. ΣTN decreased from2015, and at the same time, halocline also deepened from ca. 15 m to 17 m. Therefore, it is considered that TN in the high-salinity
layer were advected and diffused into the low-salinity layer, and outflowed from the lake. ΣTP tended to increase during the survey
period. However, after typhoon events in Aug-Sep 2016, it dropped sharply, probably due to the flush out of massive amounts of waterfrom the watershed and possibly due to adsorption of phosphate onto Andisol transported from the watershed.

agricultural production more unstable and also makes crucial damage to the societies and economics in local area. To mitigate theseissues, it is desirable to develop and disseminate enhanced adaptation systems. In this study, water and nitrogen-load estimation
model was developed and applied to Northeast Thailand. Both calculated river discharge and nitrogen load were good agreementwith observed data. By using the proposed model, spatial distribution of available water and annual nitrogen load were estimated, andhistograms of nitrogen load from each land use was evaluated.
In the future, climate change will accelerate the water cycle and severe droughts often occur in Northeast Thailand. Especially in dry
season, nutrient concentration in large cities will increase due to the shortage of available water resource which dilute the nutrient
concentration in drainage canal. And water environment in city will be degraded. Therefore, suitable sanitation system should be
introduced to the city which have relatively large population density.

Algal growth in closed water bodies is one of the main factors of water pollution. Thus, to reduce water pollution, it is necessary
to decrease the nutrient load in these water bodies. Even if the nutrient load of stormwater is known, its relation to algal growth instormwater could be unclear. To understand which nutrients from stormwater contribute to algal growth, river water was sampled forstormwater at intervals of several hours during the rainfall period. For this sampling, four sites in the Inbanuma Basin, each differing interms of land use, were chosen. At each of these sites, nitrogen, phosphorus, metal, and algal growth potential (AGP) were measured.
The stormwater runoff characteristics of nutrients and AGP were studied at each site. The relationships among land use, metal
concentration, and AGP were statistically analyzed. The results showed that the AGP load increased in basins with many plowed fields
and decreased in those with high urbanization. Further, the correlations among Mg2+, B, Ca2+, and AGP were positive.

low (10-30%). The sediment samples of Asoumi Sea and Wakasa Bay showed high biochemical potentials of Sb removal (80-90%) byformation of white precipitation (Sb2(OH)3). Bacterial colonies with antimonate-reducing and Sb2S3-accumulating abilities were obtained
from the sediment samples of Lake Biwa and Asoumi Sea. Bacteria with the biochemical potential for soluble Sb removal would beubiquitously distributed in lakes and seas in Japan.

The research of symbiotic fungi associated with beech and trial planting of beech seedlings were conducted in the area aroundKomado-Shitsugen moor, Fukushima, Japan. In this area, beech forest was reclaimed to cropland in 1950s and abandoned until 2000.
Reforestation activity started from 2000; however, planted beech trees in some grassland area has been shown poor growth. Beech
is one of ectomycorrhizal trees and is known to be associated with root symbiotic fungi. We studied symbiotic fungi associated withbeech in different vegetation such as forest area, transit area and grassland area by observation of the number of ectomycorrhizal roottips in soil and colonization of ectomycorrhizal roots of the seedlings and isolation of symbiotic fungi from roots of the seedlings. As
the results, the number and variation of morphotypes of ectomycorrhiza tended to decrease from forest area to grassland area. This
result indicated the lack of abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi in grassland area related to the poor growth of planted beech trees.
We obtained 97 fungal isolates from surface-sterilized beech roots and selected 2 fungal isolates which supposedly associated withroot both in forest and grassland area. To facilitate the growth of planted beech trees, we prepared fungal inoculums using these
isolates, applied it to the young root of beech seedlings separately, and planted in the grassland area. The effects of selected fungi
were evaluated by plant growth and chlorophyll content. Throughout this study, we will discuss the relationship among plant growth,
fungal symbiosis, and soil environmental condition.

section of the Lake Abashiri to control rising of the top of salt water layer in the lake due to seawater intrusion. It is necessary toestimate the salt water balance for appropriate use of Ohmagari weir. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of verticalsalinity concentration profile by using self-recording salinometers at lake-ward (reverse) flow and seaward (forward) flow, and also
investigated the vertical profile of streamflow by using ADCP deployed at the river bottom to estimate of the stratified salt waterbalance. As the results, the salt water wedge was observed while changing-over from lake-ward (reverse) flow to seaward (forward)
flow. Compared the difference between total salt water balances that were calculated from salinometer records at several heights
and from one certain height salinometer record, it was suggested that the salt water runoff was possibly overestimated as employing
bottom layer records. We also suggested an optimal setting height of salinometer for higher-accurate estimate for the future based onsensitivity analysis of error rates in salt water balance calculated from each height salinometer record.

by using H-ADCP at Ohmagari weir when it was erected or prostrated, respectively. We also investigated sub-decadal changing of
the measurement width with noise data in H-ADCP records for the successive accuracy management to estimate the flow volumeusing H-ADCP. As the results, H-ADCP could estimate accurately the flow volume calculated from vertical velocity profiles of Kasugaya
fomula with constant coefficients including the period when the weir was erected. H-ADCP could survey without noise data at widthof the river 12-29 m stably over time. We also concluded that the consideration of changing effective measurement width depending
on noise data derived from riverbed deformation is essentially more important than re-calibration of empirical coefficient of Kasugaya

Ogawara is formed in a complicated balance such as the saltwater run through Takase River, the inflow from the tributary basin thatflows into the lake, disturbance in the lake due to flooding, saltwater dilution and discharge.
In order to analyze the mechanism of riverbed change of Takase River and make it a basic material of preventive conservation riverand lake management policy for efficient and effective lake management, tracer survey using colored sand was conducted. As a result,it was confirmed that the colored sand introduced into the downstream part (1.4 k) moved to the middle part in about two weeks dueto the flow of backward flow at high tide and further reached the lake mouth mound after the winter period .

Continuous monitoring of water bodies for multiple use such as drinking, fisheries, Horticulture, Agriculture, wildlife and Recreational
activities are essential for the sustained quality of life.. Changing land use pattern in both urban and rural settlements in India areat the cost of water bodies and open spaces. Biological monitoring of water bodies using desmids, chlorococcales, diatoms andeuglenoids are established methodologies which are cost effective, reliable and indicates ecological succession of water bodies. In
this paper Chikkarasinakere in Maddur Taluk, Mandya district of Karnataka state, India has been monitored for four months in 2015
using phytoplanktons along with physicochemical parameters. The water quality has been assessed using Pearson’s correlation
matrix for physicochemical parameters and CCME WQI for biological monitoring of the water quality . Seasonal variations in thephysicochemical and plankton diversity were observed. The abundance of diatom Navicula cryptocephala indicates organic pollution
while Synedra ulna and S. acus are indicators of anthropogenic pollution. The water quality of the lake has been classified as poor for
overall purpose such as drinking, aquatic and recreation and marginal for irrigation and livestock use. It is suggested that ecologicalsuccession of water bodies can be rapidly assessed by using micro biological parameters.

Increase in sediment yield and nutrient-rich water in Kushiro Mire has intensified the vegetation in the area. Because of this, thewetland is becoming arid. It is therefore necessary to understand the preservation of wetland. As flood is relevant on the wetness
condition of the wetland, preliminary investigation using satellite remote sensing data was conducted to spatially investigate theresponse of surface conditions to flood. Landsat 8 OLI TIRS and MODIS data utilized bands to acquire information on its conditions
using the reflection and absorption to sunlight on the surface. This study aims to evaluate the response before and after extreme flood
event. The variation of the surface condition response was quantified using spectral indices. The results show that there is a significant
difference of response of the vegetation between non-flood and flood periods spatially. The results can provide helpful preliminary
assessment for planning the restoration of Kushiro wetland.

The Satellite-based Lake and Reservoir Temperature Database in Japan (SatLARTD-J), released in July 2012, provides water surface
temperatures around 10:30 am (JST) measured by thermal infrared bands of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and
Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) onboard NASA’s Terra satellite, for 1,005 inland water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs in Japan(http://tonolab.cis.ibaraki.ac.jp/SatLARTD/). Because the mean frequency of successful measurements by ASTER for each water bodyis two or three times per year at most, SatLARTD-J also provides water surface temperatures regressively estimated with ground airtemperatures from the Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) in a five-day interval, using a regression equation
obtained for each water body between the ASTER’s water surface temperature and the AMeDAS ground air temperature corrected inspatial, temporal, and elevational. The version 2 of SatLARTD-J, released in July 2014, provided water surface temperatures only fora limited period from March 2000 to December 2013, but the latest version 3, released in January 2018, has a new function of nearreal-time updating, and the recent water surface temperatures for each water body are automatically added to the database. Water
temperature is a key environmental factor for ecosystems in an inland water body, and the SatLARTD-J is expected to give some
contributions to various fields including biodiversity conservation. As a next step, we are currently developing the world version of
SatLARTD for future release.

The Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia is the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia. The diverse ecosystems of the Lake provides hugeamount of fresh water and foods to humanbeing, animal and plants. However, hydrological and hydraulic conditions of the lake arechanging by climate change and hydropower production in the upstream of the Mekong River. Hydrological and hydraulic models are
powerful tools to understand these situations. Due to poor measuring density of gauge-based precipitation in Cambodia, the satellitebased precipitation GPCP is used in this paper with an objective to improve the reproduction accuracy of hydrological and hydraulicmodel of The Tonle Sap Lake basin in Cambodia. Since original GPCP tend to be larger value than gauge-based precipitation, bias
adustment was carried out and then inputted to hydrological and hydraulic model. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) was used for theaccuracy evaluation. Evaluation factors are precipitation, runoff discharge from each watershed to the lake and water level at Kg.Luong,which is a representative water level station of the lake. The findings are as follows. 1) NSE of GPCP before and after adustment
against gauge based rainfall was improved from 0.043 to 0.748. 2) By replacing gauge-based pricipitation to adjusted GPCP, the NSE
value of runoff discharge from the Chinit River watershed was improved from 0.694 to 0.817. 3) NSE of water level at Kg. Luong was
improved from 0.971 to 0.986 by replacing gauge-based precipitation to adjusted GPCP.

Lake Malawi is one of the most important lakes in Africa, due to its biodiversity and usefulness to the adjacent populations.
However, some anthropogenic activities can threaten its water quality and ecosystem services. Lack of a systematic regular monitoringof chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration, and understanding of its spatial and temporal variation are some of the drawbacks. In this study
we propose the use of MERIS Level 1B data to monitor the lake’s Chl-a concentration, and its spatial and temporal distribution. Using
the NASA’s standard OC4E_v6 algorithm for clear water, Chl-a concentration was retrieved, during the 2003-2011 period. The highest
mean concentration (> 1 mg m-3 ) for the entire lake was found in 2003. Since then the values dropped to a mean value below 1 mg
m-3. Nevertheless, the results showed a slight increase along the years although in small concentration. The Western and Southernpart of the lake proved to be the most affected, having a mean Chl-a concentration around 5 mg m-3 , probably influenced by theanthropogenic activities in these areas, as the population pressure is high. The seasonal effects have also shown to have an influencein the Chl-a concentration, the highest concentrations were found in the first two seasons (November to April; May to August). It wasalso found that Chl-a concentration may differ depending on the location and season.

Baoshan Reservoir supplies water to the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, the high-tech wafer process requires a lot of pure water.
Therefore, how to ensure the water quality and stability of Baoshan Resevoir is particularly important. Due to that Baoshan Resevoir is
an off channel reservoir, it can select the water source from Shig-Ping Weir to avoid Inferior quality water flows into Baoshan reservoir.
There are many pollution sources because of prevalence of agriculture and a lot of residential buildings around Baoshan Reservoir.
Monitoring the water quality of Baoshan Reservoir by unmanned vehicles, and establish the pollution hotspots to provide a scientificevidence to the reservoir management, and further set up appropriate pollution reduction facilities. At present, specific sites monitoringor manual sampling detection are the most common method in Taiwan. Manual sampling is time-consuming and can't be monitored
over a long period of time. Specific sites monitoring can not be adjusted according to the level of water level monitoring points. As the
specific sites monitoring can not represent the whole area of water quality, and there may be aquatic organisms and plant attached,
the cost of setting up number of specific sites monitoring point will be too high. It can be effectively lower the cost by using unmanned
vehicles equipped with direct reading instrumentation MAX-RS485 multiparameter water quality detector, the data can through theInternet of things back to the server, then remote control and give instruction to confirm the reservoir water quality changes and thesource of nutrients.

Many water contaminants are relatively stable and are not completely removed during wastewater treatment and post-discharge
processes. In this study, a fast and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was optimized for the direct analysis of trace antibiotics and hormonesin water. Water samples taken from Laguna Lake (Philippines) were filtered and analyzed without enrichment. The chromatographic
separation was done using a C18 column and gradient elution of water-methanol with 0.10 % formic acid or 0.10 % ammoniumhydroxide. Detection and quantitation were done using multiple reaction monitoring. The detection limits were 0.01-0.42 ug/L for
the antibiotics and 0.01-0.07 ug/L for the hormones. Correlation of determination was >0.98 for each analyte in 0 to 100 ug/Lconcentration range. This method is suitable for routine monitoring of water contamination considering detection capability, sensitivity
and specificity. Preliminary analysis of lake water samples from nine sampling sites in Laguna Lake shows that these antibiotics andhormones are not detected. Determination of the occurrence of these emerging contaminants is important particularly in the use of thelake for aquaculture and potable water production. Monitoring potentially harmful water contaminants in lakes is important especiallyin areas where the implementation of environmental policies is still a challenge.

In this research, two kinds of typical polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were selected as the target pollutant and their aqueous
solubility in the presence of two dissolved organic carbons (DOCs) from two different anaerobic digesters (35 ºC and 55 ºC) were
measured. In the solubility experiment, a wide range of DOC strengths based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration
was used. From the linear relationships between PBDE and DOC concentrations through 48 hours equilibrium experiment, furthermore,
the partition coefficients (K DOC) of the two PBDEs between water and individual DOC were determined. The results revealed that K DOC
at the thermophilic condition (K DOC =0.0114) was 10 times higher than that at the mesophilic condition (KDOC =0.0011), suggesting thatthe solubility of PBDE was affected by the DOC sources in the environment.

Proper treatment methods for wastewater from food waste (FW) disposer have become very important in water quality protection
and watershed management. In this study, an integrated system of siphon-driven self-agitated anaerobic reactor (SDSAR) andanaerobic filter (AF) reactor was conducted for the treatment of wastewater from FW disposer, and the effect of influent total solids(TS) concentration on the process performance was evaluated. When the influent TS concentration increased from 6.8 to 15.5 g/L,
the influent COD increased from 14.4 to 35.5 g-COD/L/d, while the methane gas production rate also increased from 0.46 to 0.92
L-CH4/L/d. On the other hand, when the TS concentration of FW further increased to 23.8 g/L, a large amount of scum formed andaccumulated in the SDSAR. According to the result of COD recovery, the proportion of COD remained in the effluent at different
dilutions ratios was only around 2%. However, with an increase in TS concentration, the proportion of COD remained in the reactors
increased sharply. It was found that the influent TS concentration play an important role in a stable methane fermentation.

The removal performance of nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) by actual Johkasou , on-site household domestic wastewater
treatment facility was investigated in the watershed of Lake Inba-numa . The nitrogen removal type Johkasou showed better performancefor BOD and nitrogen removal than the conventional Johkasou . The high performance of nitrogen removal type Johkasou was attributed
to a mixed liquor (after aerated) circulating system for denitrification. However, phosphorus in the effluent from nitrogen removal type
Johkasou was not different from that of conventional Johkasou . Therefore, in order to reduce phosphorus from Johkasou , the phosphorus
removal pellets which recently developed were put into various types Johkasous . When 400 g of phosphorus removal pellets wereplaced in the Johkasou in one week, total phosphorus (T-P) and orthophosphate (PO4-P) in the effluent from various types Johkasous
decreased. By using these systems the Johkasou is able to remove nutrient from domestic wastewater in areas not provided with apublic sewerage system in watershed of lakes.

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is an anionic surfactant. Because of wide use as household detergent, LAS is a major pollutant indomestic wastewater. In addition, LAS can pose toxic effects on aquatic organisms such as fish and algae. Therefore, the Environmental
quality standards for water pollution for the preservation of aquatic life have been set for LAS in Japan in 2013. This study examined
the removal of LAS by constructed wetland, which is an environmental friendly and economically efficient wastewater treatment
system and has been applied for removal of various organic and inorganic pollutants. Lab-scale experiments to treat LAS-containing
model secondary effluent and river water was conducted by vertical flow constructed wetland systems consisting of column reactors
packed with gravel and with and without planting common reed (Phragmites australis ). The results revealed that LAS could be removedby the constructed wetland system, irrespective of the presence of common reed. Detailed studies also found that adsorption is the
major mechanism of the removal of LAS, and that although the removal of LAS in the unplanted system declined with time possibly
due to the adsorption saturation to gravel, high removal of LAS was maintained in the planted system, suggesting the improvement of
LAS removing ability in the presence of common reed.

TIK1 utilized common reed root compounds as a sole carbon source and sustainably colonized common reed roots, where the strain
degraded phenolic EDCs. In sequencing batch reactor experiments using common reed-strain TIK1 association (strain TIK inoculatedcommon reed) completely and sustainably removed phenolic EDCs (bisphenol A, bisphenol S, 4-tert -butylphenol, 4-tert -octylphenol and4-nonylphenol) from polluted wastewater.

Kelani River is one of the main rivers in Sri Lanka. Although not the largest in the country, this river is considered very important
for the water requirements of Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka and its suburbs. The water needs include domestic, industrial,
institutional, environmental and other needs. The water requirement from the Kelani River is increasing continuously due to rapid
urbanization. Deterioration of water quality in the river creates adverse impacts on human health and to the socio economic
development of the country. Due to the rapid development, most of these water bodies are being continuously polluted at an
alarmingly increasing rate. These pollution sources mainly include point sources such as industrial discharges and uncontrolled
sewage discharges and non-point sources of pollution which primarily include the storm water runoff from residential, industrial,commercial and agricultural lands. The analysis of the quality of river water revealed that it requires extensive purification before it isrendered suitable for drinking. Therefore, the people living along the coasts of Kelani River should be made aware about the chemical
contaminations within the river basin resulting from anthropological activities, land use practices and industrial discharges. Harnessing
the potential of the local community to play a more proactive role in preserving their own environment, as well as to communicate theoverall message of preventing pollution in the Kelani River to other communities living in the vicinity, is a critical step forward.

The aeration process is widely applied to provide dissolved oxygen (DO) into the water for aquaculture to survive. Generally,
the mechanical aeration on the water surface is commonly used in large-scale pond due to providing sufficient oxygen and mixing,
however, it requires high energy. Liquid-Film-Forming Apparatus (LFFA) is a simple device which does not consume any additionalenergy besides the air pump for the diffused aerator. The large-scale experiment was conducted with the variety of installations
to compare the oxygen transfer performance. It was found that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient provided from the paddle
equipment was higher than that from the LFFA due to the strong turbulence for favorable mixing condition. However, in terms of
power efficiency, the paddle equipment showed the lower of oxygen transfer power efficiency compared with the LFFA. This can provethat the LFFA system has an ability for energy-saving. Regarding the usage application in shrimp cultivation, even though the yield of
shrimps in the LFFA pond was lower than that in the paddle pond, the power required for aeration was lower while obtaining thesame amount of yield, indicating that the energy saving by using LFFA in the large pond was confirmed.

The bottom sediment of the lakeshore roles functions as the origin of a supply for the phytoplankton, and the increased
phytoplankton from the sediment greatly influences that is formed water quality. Poor oxygenation of the bottom layer water influence
for deactivating for the storage phytoplankton cells in sediment and may adversely affect the water quality and plankton ecosystems.
In this study, a photoplankton recurrence was tested based on dissolved oxygen content and its exposure time as parameters by using
bottom sediment of the eutrophic Lake Yamanokami, Saitama Prefecture. As a result, the poor oxygenation of the bottom layer water
can cause the phytoplankton community dominating by the blue-green algae. And it is necessary to be slightly an aerobic conditioneven if there are few the bottom layers of to maintain community structure.

A PROPOSAL FOR A RELATIVE EVALUATION APPROACH
Eiji Sawada
Kyushu Sangyo University
Many of the wetlands are in closed water areas or semi-closed water areas where water circulation is less working and are sufferedfrom Non-point source (NPS) pollution. It is well known that the traditional environmental policies could not be applied to the NPS
pollution and therefore wetlands pollution has not been well improved for a long time. So far, a variety of NPS pollution control
policies have been discussed in the environmental economic theory studies, though applications are still few. There still exists a major
gap between environmental theory studies and the ongoing environmental programs for the NPS pollution control. In this article, wefirstly overview the NPS pollution control policy studies and examine which NPS pollution control policies are relatively more realistic
and show the better improvement for each type of wetlands under the different practical or physical constraints. After that, we also
propose a tournament tax policy as the possible efficient NPS pollution control policy. By numerical calculations with the specified
model for two polluters, we show the proposed policy satisfies the major properties such as 1) efficiency, 2) truth-telling, 3) budgetbalancing, 4) collusion proofness.

Suppression of the generation of phytoplankton in eutrophic waters is an issue. Similar problems have also occurred in Lake
Kasumigaura for many years. In 2013, Ibaraki Prefecture made a public proposal for a demonstration test on phosphorus reduction
in a river flowing into Kasumigaura for 4 years. The middle scale verification tests (3m3 treatment tank) for reduction of phosphorus
in river water were performed an annual average reduction rate of PO4 P of 24.8 percent against the daily treatment flow rate of 43
m3 from 2013 to 2014. The large scale verification tests for reduction of phosphorus in river water were performed by eluting ironion. The system was consisted of three treatment tanks of 25 or 30 m3 (10m3, 10m3 and 5m3) were developed based on a rolling
dram cartridge system encapsulated iron eluting body (hereafter D material) of 384kg in order to elute iron ion continuously. The
daily flow quantity of treatment water was from 100 to 300m3. The concentration reduction rate of soluble phosphorus (PO4 P) of
treatment water compared with raw water was recorded from 31 to 47 percent (larger than 30 percent of target value). Under the
daily flow quantity of treatment from 400 to 550 m3, reduction rate of PO4 P and TP were achieved 30 percent by improving thesystem with applying aeration and so on. DO and pH values of the treated water to be discharged into the river were within sufficientenvironmental regulations. Based on the result, Practical type of equipment are started from 2017.

Waste from end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment, known as e-waste, is a rapidly growing environmental problem
worldwide. There is considerable interest in recovery of valuable and reusable materials from e-wastes for environmental andeconomic reasons. However, concerns were raised about environmental and human health risks posed by harmful organic chemicals,such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their alternative flame retardants, associated with primitive recycling of e-wastes
in developing world. We investigated contamination of river ecosystems with PBDEs and their alternative flame retardants released
from processing of e-wastes in a village in northern Vietnam. On the basis of the obtained results, we determined concentrations of
PBDEs and their alternatives in river fish and sediment samples and identified potential processes for contamination formation. Ourfindings suggested that open-storage of e-wastes should be prohibited and that wastewater treatment should be implemented at each
workshop to reduce contamination of river ecosystems with harmful organic chemicals from recycling of e-wastes in developing world.

Effective utilization of sewage treated water is required as a water resource in cities, and it is necessary to ensure the safety ofpathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and cryptosporidium remaining in sewage treatment water. Ultraviolet disinfection ischaracterized by space-saving and no by-products compared to chlorine disinfection, and it is considered promising as a method of
securing safety. The disinfection effect of ultraviolet rays is indicated by the amount of ultraviolet irradiation, and its measurement
depends on the biological dosimeter, but the problem with biodosimetry by model viruses is that implementation is difficult if the scaleof the apparatus is large. In an empirical study of a sewage regeneration treatment system, we focused on F-RNA phage among virusesin sewage treatment secondary water, examined its indexability, and demonstrated the safety and economic effectiveness of thissystem. In this report, we report the evaluation method of virus inactivation verified in the empirical research. In addition, this empiricalresearch was conducted as a commissioned research from the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management between 27

Inflowing water at the Fukashiba sewage treatment plant contains various chemicals discharged from plants mainly in the
petrochemical industry. However, the indicator of the amount of organic matter is sufficiently lower treated water than influent water,
and it is presumed that many chemicals are removed in the sewage treatment plant. Therefore, 1,4-dioxane, which is suspected ofbeing carcinogenic and has low biodegradability, is selected as the substance to be studied from the chemicals contained in theinfluent of the sewage treatment plant, and mass balance and biodegradability test was conducted. As a result, it was suggested
that the concentration of 1,4-dioxane was lower in outflow water compared with the inflow water in the reaction tank adopting
the standard activated sludge method, and it was removed by microorganisms. Also, the removal rate of 1,4-dioxane in this sewage
treatment plant was at least 30% or more, and exceeded 90% at the maximum. On the other hand, 1,4-dioxane removability was
not observed in activated sludge of municipal sewage treatment plant. This study cleared that the activated sludge in the Fukashiba

Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have been listed in Stockholm convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). SCCPs
are of great concern due to recently increasing detection in the environment, including lakes. Since the aquatic bioaccumulation is
crucial in the food chain, there is potential risk of SCCPs to human health. In this paper, we evaluated the potential influence of seven
SCCPs in lake eco-system, based on phase partitioning estimation between air, water and sediment, as well as the bioaccumulation
calculation. The results indicated that the water is the main compartment for SCCPs with proportion of 51-71%. Multi-chlorinated
SCCPs are favorable in sediment as well. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) results indicated that the potential risk is higher in multichlorinated SCCPs. The variety of molecular structures of SCCPs would lead to different influence in lake ecosystem.

In the treatment of swine wastewater treatment that contains high concentrations of nitrogen, development of a simple nitrogen
removal technique is required.In this study, pilot plants were operated, to confirm the improvement of nitrogen removal rate under low
dissolved oxygen concentration in aeration tanks in the continuous aeration type activated sludge treatment. Two plants of 80 L scale
were operated at different dissolved oxygen concentrations (low dissolved oxygen condition: average 0.48 mg / L, control condition:
2.86 mg / L) using pre-treated swine wastewater by solid-liquid separation.
The average of BOD and total nitrogen concentration (TN) of the influent water were 1,703 mg / L and 726 mg / L, respectively. The
average BOD concentration of effluent and BOD removal rate were 188 mg / L, 92 mg / L, 86% and 93% in the low dissolved oxygen
condition and the control condition, respectively, and the removal rate was significantly higher in the control condition than in the low
dissolved oxygen condition. TN concentration of effluent and TN removal rate were 226 mg / L, 358 mg / L, 53% and 35% on average,
respectively, and the removal rate was significantly higher in the low dissolved oxygen condition. It was shown that the nitrogen
removal rate was improved by controlling the dissolved oxygen concentration in the aeration tank to a low concentration.

Lake Abashiri is a brackish lake in which there is a boundary between the underlying salt water layer and the overlying fresh waterlayer. Vertical water circulation in the bottom salt water layer tends to be suppressed, the anoxic condition of the bottom layer has
become persistent, and hydrogen sulfide and nutrient salts have accumulated in high concentrations. When strong winds disturb thesalt water layer, the substances in that layer are carried into the fresh water layer and cause the condition of the fresh water layer todeteriorate by causing water quality problems such as the abnormal propagation of algae and the occurrence of blue tides. Fisheryis thriving at Lake Abashiri. Local fishermen have been suffering losses from the frequent water quality problems. To improve thewater’s anoxic condition and detoxify the toxicants, an oxygen supply experiment was done using an experimental plant constructed
onsite with a Water Environment Preservation (WEP) system. The experiment verified that it is possible to increase the dissolved
oxygen concentration to 40 mg/L and to oxygenate the hydrogen sulfide so that it becomes sulfur by supplying dissolved oxygen to
the salt water. It was further verified that the orthophosphoric acid in the water decreased when water whose hydrogen sulfide had
been completely oxidized was placed in contact with the bottom sediment. It was found that supplying oxygen does not affect theammonium nitrogen.

Restoration and preservation of an urban pond has been conducted by collaboration of local communities including a non-profitablecitizen group, the City, and educational institutions. Junsai Pond is one of the typical urban ponds located approximately 20km east ofTokyo. The urbanization in the watershed caused spring in the area to deplete and the pond is currently fed by groundwater. Though
the pond is still accommodating more than 20 endangered species, water quality degradation made various water plants such as
Junsai (Brasenia schreberi ) and Inokashirafurasukomo ((CR+EN), Nitella mirabilis var. inokasiraensis ) vanish from the pond. The purposes ofour project are to restore habitat to support vanished aquatic plants and also to provide green space and waterfront access for the
residents and migratory birds.
The factors and mechanisms that cause water quality degradation have been elucidated and the effects of several possible countermeasures such as water aeration, emergent species vegetation, lowering water levels have been evaluated. We are currently in theprocess of designing the implementation of restoration measures.
The collaboration of local communities made it possible to effectively conduct wide range of activities including management of thepond, scientific investigation, and also various educational activities. On the other hand, it was found that the lack of support from
specialists lead unwanted results. Our future issues would be getting proper support from specialists, cooperation with local schools in
the process of restoration, and also obtaining funds

Lake Chapala, the largest natural body of water in Mexico (1,140 km²) was visited and described by the famous German naturalist
Alexander von Humboldt on his trip in 1803. Although it maintains great scenic values, the lake faces conditions of degradationand disappearance of native species due to lack of knowledge of its operation and the scarce engagement of the population on its
conservation. A component of great relevance for the area of birds, in which there are registered 307 species (30% of the total for
Mexico).
To promote interest in caring for the environment and encourage nature tourism, an Environmental Interpretation Trail was installed,which includes 7 observation points, where school groups and the public are attended. Specialized signage and a map for visitors withphotographs and descriptions of the most common birds in the area are available, consistently pointing their importance and current
situation; there is also a group of local guides trained to take care of the visitors. In a complementary way, environmental education
workshops are held with primary and secondary students from the municipality of Chapala, and a media and social media outreachcampaign, with a minimum impact on 20,000 people.
Participants' interest in the conservation of birds and their habitats is fostered to maintain environmental services, such as pest

Fuji five lakes are located in small area on the northern foot of Mt. Fuji which was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2012. This
lake group consists of Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Shoji, Lake Sai and Lake Motosu with diversities in lake depth, lake size,transparency, coloration and so on. Because of the advantage of these lakes that we can observe the various lakes in a short time, it isconsidered that they will be a good field to learn the limnology and ecosystem of lakes.
Developed program is prepared for elementary school students, and consists of five stages; i.e. Giving a question, Learning on theecosystem in lake, Observations on the water and livings, Simulation on ecosystem, Discussion.
As results of this study, several suggestions were made.
1) At the first stage of this education program, the question why these lakes have different transparencies and colorations in spite oflakes were located so closely is considered effective for introduction of learning.
2) Development of simulation methods, simulation application on computer or simulation game with cards for example, is consideredeffective to deepen understanding about Lake Ecosystem.

Lake inba is a freshwater lodging swamp located in northern part of Chiba prefecture. Since the 1960s, the quality of theswamp deteriorated with the increase in the catchment population. It has been ranked in the worst five times in the swamp water
quality nationwide. In this report, as part of the activities of the Institute of Environmental Science, Chiba Institute of Technology,
we investigated the water quality situation of Lake Inba. By understanding thewater quality characteristics of Lake Inba from thedata for the six years from 2012 to 2017 and by conducting a survey based on the "Water Environmental Soundness Index", howpeople perceive and feel to Lake Inba changes It was aimed at grasping what to do. According to the survey results for 6 years, theMizukusaen tends to be more alkaline than the Furusatohiroba. COD fluctuates in summer and winter, but it has remained almost
flat for 6 years. In addition, Lake Inba is a nitrogen-rich lake, so it is necessary to reduce nitrogen fertilizer flowing out from basin
area. According to the Water Environmental Soundness Index, the score in comfortable waterfront parameters was slightly lower. But
overall, viewpoint and way of thinking about Lake Inba have not changed significantly in these 6 years.

P8-13	THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEWAGE COVERAGE RATIO AND POLLUTANTCONCENTRATION FOR LAKE KASUMIGAURA AND LAKE SUWA
Masayuki Miyauchi
Kasumigaura Cititzen's Association
We cannot say for certain when the water quality of Lake Kasumigaura will be improved, even though many people have made lotsof efforts to improve it for more than 30 years. And, compared to 30 years ago, the quality of Lake Suwa has already been improved by
the sewage coverage ratio rising and other countermeasures. So, the sewage coverage ratio rising at the Lake Kasumigaura Basin has
been compared with that at the Lake Suwa Basin. And, the relationship between sewage coverage ratio and pollutant concentration(COD,T-N,T-P) have been compared between both lakes. Three,3, pollutant concentrations of Lake Suwa are declining while up
and down until the sewage coverage ratio increases to 60%, and COD rapidly decreases for more than 80%. On the other, three,3,
pollutant concentrations of Lake Kasumigaura do not show any decline for less than 65% sewage coverage ratio of the current level.
However, when the experiences at Lake Suwa are taken into consideration, pollutant concentration of Lake Kasumigaura would be
expected to begin decreasing for more than 80% of the sewage coverage ratio.

Lake Ushikunuma is a shallow small lake located in the southern part of Ibaraki prefecture, and it is a valuable asset of Ibaraki
citizens such as use as agricultural water and fishing ground. However, since 1980, water pollution due to eutrophication has
progressed, Ibaraki prefecture has applied lake environmental standards, and planned three times formulated a lake water quality
preservation plan for 5 years, and has been promoting water quality improvement efforts. On the other hand, the Council of Water
Quality Purification Measures in the Lake Ushikunima, composed of municipalities in the Lake Ushikunuma basin and related land
improvement zones and fishery cooperatives, has developed practical activities related to water purification. Although the populationof the Lake Ushikunuma basin has increased dramatically due to large-scale development, the discharge load has been decreasing due
to the maintenance of sewers. The population of Lake Ushikunuma catchment area will continue to increase. Therefore, in order toprevent the inflow of pollutants from increasing and to improve water quality, it is necessary for concerned groups and local residents
to work on water quality conservation activities in cooperation.

There have been numerous watershed governance models developed for planning and managing natural resource projects.
However, these models are generally applied in a macro scale discounting some vital social and environmental concerns that are
peculiar in a local setting.
This paper will discuss the importance of focusing environmental conservation initiatives on a smaller scale, adopting and modifying
applicable existing watershed governance framework and approaches. As a take-off point, Barangay Carmen in the town of Silang wasselected in view of the existence of the Malindig Spring situated within the Malindig Micro-watershed. The said spring is importantin the social-cultural and economic activities of the community. However, sustaining its ecological integrity is a challenge which
necessitates multisectoral involvement coupled with the government’s efforts in spearheading actions for community support. The
need to identify a group of champions in environmental management is a key success factor in environmental management, thus, thewomen in Barangay Carmen became the target sector to take the lead in view of their interest and respected roles in the community.
The results of engagement with communities in a micro-watershed scale revealed the need to refocus the strategies in managing
natural resources from a macro-scope to a micro-level scale. This will ensure a more efficient assessment of the socio-culturaleconomic-environmental and political situation leading to more effective strategies in managing natural resources.

Following the formulation of a river improvement plan for Lake Kasumigaura in February 2016, over the next 20 to 30 years water
environment projects are being undertaken at Lake Kasumigaura based on the plan. Civic activities were energized by the 6th World
Lake Conference in 1995 and local residents became involved in various ways. As the 17th World Lake Conference to be held in
October 2018 approaches, it has been remarked that public interest is waning, and it is seen as essential to foster momentum andpromote cooperation in the basin area. In order to grasp awareness among local residents of Lake Kasumigaura’s water environment,
four kinds of questionnaires were conducted across a broad range of population segments. The results showed that the higher thelevel of involvement of residents in Lake Kasumigaura through interest in Lake Kasumigaura and familiarity with the lake as a place tovisit and enjoy, the greater the appreciation of Lake Kasumigaura’s water environment. In future, it is important to conduct PR activities
in order to further promote cooperation in the Lake Kasumigaura basin area and projects that bring people into direct contact withLake Kasumigaura, and to raise awareness among local residents.

The Yucatan Peninsula, presents a karstic topography of biogenic origin, highly permeable, resulting in an underground hydrologicalsystem strong connected, with superficial expressions such as cenotes, lagoons and wetlands but without perennial streams. Scientificinvestigations prove the particularity of this type of biophysical system announcing the high vulnerability to ecological deterioration
associated with the contamination and fragmentation of the structural and functional connectivity of the water flow. Given the need
to use the territory, legislative elements whose mandate is the maintenance of the ecological, among them, the Territorial EcologicalOrdinances (OTS), binding public policy instruments regarding the use of land, should be built in consideration of the natural vocationand mechanisms of intersectoral participation. Quintana Roo’s goverment, since 2012, has operated the preparation of the Local
Ecological Management Program of the municipality of Bacalar (POEL), showing in 2017 a version that nullifies the high permeability ofthe municipal surface, which leads us to investigate why the advance in the design of the POEL does not recognize the characteristicsof the karstic system. It will be a qualitative research, during 2018, with combined multi-method work: semi-structured interviews,
recording in field diary and actor map, participant observation, documentary analysis, generation of a conceptual base model for thedetermination of the natural vocation, with what is expected to identify opportunities for improvement in the intersectoral linkage

Recently, floods are occurring more frequently in many areas around the world due to climate change. Especially, when large floods
occur in developing countries like The Philippines, there are major concerns about economic losses as well as injuries to people
and loss of life. Therefore, how to adapt to such situations in these climate-vulnerable areas is an important research topic. In The
Philippines (and many other developing countries), the population and economy are expected to grow rapidly in the future, and thispopulation growth and economic development is likely to result in significant land use changes. Furthermore, these land use changes
also affect rainfall runoff rates, and the risk of flooding will be increased if many vegetated areas (e.g. forests, agroforests, or croplands)
are converted to impervious (e.g. residential or industrial) areas. In this study, to understand the potential impacts of future land usechanges on flooding around the Lake Laguna in the Philippines, we first construct a land use model for the year 2100 incorporating
future population and demographic projections.

Yuriria lagoon is a freshwater body located in the city of Yuriria, Guanajuato, Mexico, cataloged as Natural Protected Area (NPA)
and RAMSAR site. For decades in the lagoon has spread the growth of the aquatic plant Eichhornia crassipes (commonly known as water
hyacinth), causing environmental, social and economic issues in the region. To continue using the hydric and biological resources ofthe system, integral efforts to reduce the impact area to the aquatic weed in the lagoon were made. Mechanic, manual and chemicalactions were applied. The impacted area was monitored through satellite images. The impacted area with water hyacinth in June2017 was near to 22% of the lagoon. In April 2018 the impacted area was 10 %. Efforts should continue to reduce water hyacinth
present in Yuriria lagoon to acceptable levels.

conditions of Lake Kasumigaura to clarify factors affecting water quality variation. We are also elucidating the dynamics (generation
mechanism, movement, accumulation, etc.) of water bloom with the aim of predicting occurrence. We work to clarify the pollutant
load flowing from the basin of Lake Kitaura, where agriculture is popular, and the dynamics of the pollutant load flowing directly into
the lake from farmland such as paddies and lotus field. Also, we verify and develop technology to reduce inflow load from agriculturalland using circulation irrigation, and verify the effects of the equipment and facilities directly purifying lake and river water.

ECOSYSTEM SERVICES OF LAKE KASUMIGAURA
Ibaraki Kasumigaura Environmental Science Center, Ibaraki prefectural Government
Currently, about 960 thousand people live in the Kasumigaura basin. Agriculture and industry are popular because of the proximity of
the Kashima coastal industrial zone and the wide distribution of paddy fields, lotus fields, and upland fields around Lake Kasumigaura.
Many of these daily living and economic activities use water from Lake Kasumigaura. In addition, the fishery industry, such as fishingof smelt and cultivation of carp, is active in Lake Kasumigaura, and traditional aspects such as production of Tsukudani (fish boiled
in soy sauce) and operation of Hobikisen (large white sail boats) are maintained and leveraged as tourist resources. Kasumigaura
is surrounded by concrete embankments, and the water level is controlled by the Hitachi River Flood Gate. In addition to providing
water for agriculture and industry, the flood gate adjusts to contain floodwaters during heavy rain. Thus, many people receive diverse
benefits (ecosystem services) from Lake Kasumigaura. To ensure that people can continue to use Kasumigaura’s ecosystem services in
the future, it is necessary to understand what types of services are used and how much benefit people receive, and to link this to lakebasin management.

RICH BIODIVERSITY OF LAKE KASUMIGAURA AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS
Biodiversity Center, Natural Environment Division, Ibaraki Prefectural Government
Lake Kasumigaura was formed as a lagoon about 60 million years ago. It’s area reaches 220 km 2, and is second largest after
Lake Biwa in Japan, but, it is very shallow with an average depth of 4 m. The lake had great environmental changes, due to theimprovement works on the Tone River during the Edo period, and structural changes to meet the increasing needs of lake water forindustry, agriculture and drinking after the World War II. The transparency of lake water has fallen with the progress of eutrophication.
The ecosystems and biodiversity in the lake and surrounding areas have been formed as a result of these environmental changes.
The submerged plants, which widely flourished formerly in the lake, have almost disappeared by the end 1980’s, and floating-leaved
plants and vegetation along lake shore have also declined. In Ukishima and some other areas, large reed and other plant colonies
have survived, providing birds and animals with good habitats. Closure of Hitachigawa water gate since 1975 has converted the lakewater into real fresh water and obstructed many migratory fishes swimming upstream. But some fish species changed their life into
landlocked form. Through many historical changes, the Kasumigaura areas still have precious biological resources providing a cradlefor various living things, such as plants, mammals, birds especially ducks and bean geese, fishes, and many other animals. “Rivers andlakes of the Kasumigaura-Kitaura water system” were selected to be one of “important marshes in Japan”, and “Kasumigaura-Ukishima,
and the areas of the lower Tone River and a rice-field” were selected to be one of “500 important Satochi-Satoyama in Japan” by the

in cooperation with the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science）, at the
Ibaraki Prefectural Livestock Research Center. As the result, we confirmed that we reduced approximately 60% of urine excretion
quantity approximately 30% of urinary nitrogen excretion without affecting the productivity on Fattening Pigs. In addition, we confirmed
what could largely reduce ammonia and greenhouse gas (nitrous oxide) which were generated when we worked to purify filthy water.
On the other hand, we also worked on the development of new feed using local resources such as tofu cake and forage rice. We
confirmed that this feed had the effect of reducing the amount of ammonia generated during composting process. Furthermore, we aredeveloping the environment-friendly diets in Poultry.

It is feeding nearly half of the livestock of the whole prefecture in the Kasumigaura watershed, and the business scale of livestock
has been expanding year by year. Compost produced by livestock farmers is used in themselves and farm crop producers, but in someareas it is excessive and it is difficult to used it only within the area. Therefore, Ibaraki prefectural Government has established “Planfor promotion of utilization of livestock manure” in order to promote the use of livestock manure in the prefecture and “7th Plan forconservation of lake water quality” and support for development of livestock manure treatment facilities etc, wide-area distribution ofhigh quality compost, and fuel use of livestock manure. From now on, we will further promote the reduction of livestock manure, etc.
in addition to these, in order to reduce pollutant load from livestock industry.

EFFORTS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA BY THE IBARAKIAGRICULTURAL CENTER
Ibaraki agricultural center, Ibaraki prefectural Government
Ibaraki Agricultural Center has established a project; “Development of Environmentally Friendly Agriculture Technology” as a priority
research project aimed at developing a fertilizer application program that promotes reduced amount/rate of nitrogen runoff. The
project is particularly tasked on conducting research concentrating on the effective utilization of Lotus root (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. ) a
major cash/food crop produced around Lake Kasumigaura and Japan; Upland fields producing a variety of vegetables and Livestock
biomass exploiting the water resources around the lake.
The research subjects of the project are clustered into three sub-research projects: 1) Lotus root; aimed at reducing nitrogen runoff
by way of developing a fertilization method boosting reduced fertilizer usage and development of a simple diagnostic technique indetermining ground nitrogen accumulation in and around the lake. 2) Upland field: reduction in the amount of fertilizer runoff by meansof employing appropriate fertilization based on soil diagnosis and development of local fertilization technology. 3) Livestock biomass:
reduce the environmental burden impacted by fertilizers containing phosphorus and ammonia within the basin of the lake by way ofaugmentation with livestock biomass in the fields around the vicinity of the lake; a mixture concept of livestock biomass and fertilizers
promoting reduced fertilizer runoff negative impacts.

EFFORTS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL BURDEN IN AGURICULTUE IN KASUMIGAURA BASIN
Agricultural Technology Division, Ibaraki Prefectural Government
The Kasumigaura Basin is shaping to be a production area due to many factors such as the presence of rice and lotus roots
fields in the lowlands of the lakeshore, the Asian pears and chestnuts of the Niihari plateau and the cultivation of various vegetableproduce like the sweet potato of Namegata. While interest in environmental issues is increasing with a need for the promotion of thecorresponding agriculture, there is a demand for cultivation technology that will decrease the burdens on the environment present
in the production areas mentioned above. Thus, in order to preserve the water quality of Kasumigaura through the creation andpropagation of environmental burden decreasing cultivation technologies, we are putting our efforts in the “Efforts to Reduce theEnvironmental Burden of Agriculture in Kasumigaura Basin” project. In an effort to implement cultivation that reduces the burden ofmaintaining a good quality of water in Kasumigaura, the development and the spreading of new soil diagnosing fertilizer and suitablefertilizer as well as the demonstration of fertilizer reduced cultivation of lotus root fields in the surrounding areas of Kasumigaura are
currently in the works.
Fertilizer reduced cultivation techniques are continuing to be implemented in lotus roots fields and their yields will be examined. The
water flowing from these fields will also be examined for its quality in order to evaluate the effectiveness of this type of cultivation. The
establishment of fertilizers that proves effective for lotus root fields and reduces the burden on the environment, will bring about thedevelopment of diagnosis fertilization technology.
Also, the establishment of test sites for the demonstration of suitable nitrogen fertilizers that reduces compost and chemicalfertilizers as well the development and spreading of said fertilizer are in progress.

ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT OF KASUMIGAURA SEWAGE TREATMENT CENTER
Regional Sewerage Office, Ibaraki prefectural Government
The Lake Kasumigaura, located in the southeast region of Ibaraki Prefecture with the second largest lake area in Japan of 220km2
after Lake Biwa, serves as an important water resource in the Metropolitan area. Although the Lake Kasumigaura used to be sotransparent that the bottom of the lake could be seen, water pollution due to eutrophication rapidly deteriorated with the increaseof population in the catchment area and development of socioeconomic activities since 1970s. The Lake Kasumigaura has not been
continuously met the environmental quality standards for COD, nitrogen and phosphorus. The causes are so diverse as domestic
wastewater, effluent from factories and business place, effluent from livestock farms, effluent from farmland and urban areas, andelution from sediment of the bottom of the lake.
In order to cope with the situation, various countermeasures have been comprehensively implemented with “Plan for Conservation of
Lake Water Quality Concerning Lake Kasumigaura” established. Among others, what is especially important as a measure against thedomestic wastewater is the improvement of the sewerage system.
Ibaraki Prefecture is pushing forward with the improvement of the four regional sewerage in the Kasumigaura catchment basin. Oneof them, the Kasumigaura Kohoku Regional Sewerage was launched in fiscal 1973 and placed in service in January 1979 with the aimof preventing water pollution of the Lake Kasumigaura and improving the living environments in five municipalities including TsuchiuraCity and Ishioka City.

HIGH EFFICIENCY ON-SITE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR HEAVY METALS VIA COMBINATIONOF HOMOGENEOUS LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (HOLLE) AND SMART DEVICE
Industrial Technology Innovation Center Of Ibaraki Prefecture of Government
It is essential to grasp heavy metals concentration for environmental protection. These should be controlled by instrumental analysis
such as ICP-AES. Although visual colorimetric analysis is used for on-site measurement, concentration identification includes a problem
because a color is light in low concentration. Considering these circumstances, concentration and analysis were paid attention to inthis study. Proposed system consists of homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction (HoLLE) and smart device. HoLLE could separate andconcentrate heavy metals effectively with only addition of reagents in several minutes. Smart device such as smartphone could easily
detect color change on camera segment in several seconds. Heavy metals complex having color was examined in order to perform
colorimetric analysis. Heavy metals complex such as Pb(II)-dithizone and Cd(II)-TAN(1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol) complex weresatisfactorily extracted by HoLLE under water-water soluble organic solvent-dimethyl phthalate ternary solvent system. After phaseseparation with Cd(II)-TAN, the volume ratio [aqueous phase (Va) / water-immiscible liquid phase (Vo)] was 120 (28.9 mL → 0.240mL). On the basis of bright colored water-immiscible liquid phase, smart device could easily detect heavy metals in ppb level. Thisknowledge is expected to lead to the development of new concentration and analysis technologies for on-site measurement.

MARINE PRODUCT PROCESSING IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA, LAKE KITAURA AND OTHER LAKES
Kasumigaura and Kitaura Fishery Office, Ibaraki Prefectural Government
Lake Kasumigaura and Lake Kitaura are home to manty types of fish and shellfish such as pond smelt, Japanese icefish and river
prawns. These fish are used in processed products such as preserved fish boiled in soy sauce or dried fish and have been popular as
local speciality products since long ago.
A wide variety of fishing methods are used including trawl fishing, set-net fishing and gill net fishing. Furthermore, net cages in thelakes allow for the cultivation of fish such as carp.
In this way, the rich resources of Lake Kasumigaura and Lake Kitaura contribute greatly to our marine product industry.

MEASURES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF MARINE RESOURCES AND FISHING GROUNDIMPROVEMENT IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA AND LAKE KITAURA
Kasumigaura and Kitaura Fishery Office, Ibaraki Prefectural Government
The fishing industry not only provides fish and shellfish as food products but also contributes to improving water quality in the lakes
through removing the nitrogen and phosphorus contained within fish. Through conserving marine resources and improving fishinggrounds, we are working towards maintaining the benefits of the lakes for the future.

THE SAILBOAT AND SAILBOAT NET FISHING OF KASUMIGAURA
Culture Division, Prefectural Education Agency, Ibaraki Prefectural Government
Sailboat net fishing, is a unique method of fishing that utilizes wind to capture fish. The sailboat is specifically placed such that windhits it from the side and slides along with a submerged net, capturing fish in the process. Devised during the Meiji time period, thismethod of fishing has become widely used in Kasumigaura and Kitaura. Though sailboats were eliminated after the lifting of the ban of
the Trawling method of fishing in 1967, sailboats are making a comeback as touristic attractions.
In sailboat net fishing, while using the reins that raise and lower the sail to adjust the for the wind impact, the net is spread in athree-dimensional fashion and pulled back by ropes attached to the bow and stern of the boat. In order to ensure the stability of the
sailboat and the correct conduct of the technique, keeping the balance between the strength of the wind incurred by the sail, thewater pressure incurred by the net and the weight of the ship is necessary. The sailboat net fishing method calls for the balance ofthe ship and the net while employing a technology that skillfully operates various ropes. Because of these characteristics, this fishingtechnique was selected to be part of the [Selected Intangible Folk Cultural Property] in 2018.

7TH PLAN FOR CONSERVATION OF LAKE WATER QUALITY
Environmental management division, Ibaraki prefectural Government
Lake Kasumigaura (Lake Nishiura,Kitaura,Hitachitonegawa) , the second largest lake in Japan, is an important water resource inthe metropolitan area, as well as in Ibaraki Prefecture. It is a priceless valuable asset to nurture rich water quality resources. Ibaraki
Prefecture has been pursuing efforts for water quality purification based on the Lake Water Quality Conservation plan for 6 th 30 years.
We formulated a Lake Water Quality Conservation plan (seventh term) concerning Lake Kasumigaura in March 2017, and reduce thecause of pollution of Lake Kasumigaura (pollution load) more than before.

FOREST LAKE ENVIRONMENT TAX WORK
Environmental management division, Ibaraki prefectural Government
Ibaraki Prefecture is blessed with a wide variety of rich natural environments such as "Forest that exists as a core in the northern partof the prefecture" and "Lakes and rivers such as Lake Kasumigaura that supplies water for drinkins water, agricultural water, industrial
water".
Those forests, lakes and rivers have a variety of public benefit functions such as a function to prevent global warming such as
absorption of carbon dioxide, a water source training that accumulates rainwater to cultivate clean water, and a health rest as a place
for leisure activities.
However, in recent years forestry insufficiently managed due to deterioration of forestry profitability etc. is increasing, and its
devastation has progressed, and deterioration of public interest functions such as water source cultivation and prevention of sediment
discharge.
Although the amount of pollutant load that flows into Lake Kasumigaura etc. has been reduced due to efforts to purify water quality,
the quality of water in the lake has remained flat and has not reached significant improvement, resulting in problems such as thegeneration of offensive odor due to the growth of algae with nitrogen or phosphorus as a nutrient source and the deterioration of thelandscape were caused.
In Ibaraki Prefecture, opinions of the prefectural people collected by public comment and while considering the situation of otherprefectures established forest lake environment tax ordinance in December 2007, started taxation of forest lake environment tax from
April 2008.

Lake Hinuma is the only brackish water lake in the Kanto region. From the upstream, the Lake Hinuma flows into the rivers such as
the Hinuma River and the Kansei River. At the time of high tide, sea water moves upstream from Naka River downstream.The areaof Lake Hinuma is 9.35 km2, the third largest lake in Ibaraki Prefecture next to Lake Kasumigaura (Nishiura), Kitaura. The watershed
extends to 3 cities and 3 towns, Mito, Kasama, Hokota, Ibaraki, Oarai, Shirosato. In addition, it is a fishing ground such as ‘Yamato
Shizimi’ (Corbicula japonica), many water birds and migratory birds are also found, and it is also a habitat for rare fauna and flora suchas ‘Hinuma Itotombo’ (Mortonagrion hirosei). Landscape and lakeshore scenic spots are widely used by people inside and outside
the Ibaraki as a place for relaxation. In May 2015, Lake Hinuma was registered as an internationally important wetland in the Ramsar
Convention. Further activities are required for purification of water quality, preservation of the natural environment and wise use in the
future. In 2000 the Hinuma Lake Water Quality Conservation plan was established that sets water quality targets and comprehensive
water quality conservation measures, in order to conserve the water quality of this valuable Hinuma lake, maintain fishery resources,
preserve the habitat and growth area of various kinds of organisms, and to succeed to the next generation.
Since then, review the plan every five years, is currently being promoted Water Quality Conservation Plan in the fourth period.

EFFORTS FOR PURIFICATION OF WATER QUARITY IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA BY THE COUNCILFOR CONSERVATION OF LAKE KASUMIGAURAThe Council for conservation of Lake Kasumigaura
The predecessor of our Council “The Society to Resolve Pollution Problem of Lake Kasumigaura” was established by mayors (cities,
towns and village) of Kasumigaura watershed in 1973 after fat formation of Aoko (blue-green algae) and collapsed death of farmed
carp in the Lake as well. Later the Council was renamed “The Council for conservation of Lake Kasumigaura”. Currently the Council isformed with members of almost all 21-municipality mayors of the watershed. In order to improve welfare in the watershed, we havebeen implementing projects related to environmental conservation of Kasumigaura and inflowing rivers. The main five projects areshown below. The Lake is a precious property that brings us a lot of benefits. It is a resource used not only as tap water, but as waterof agriculture, industries and so on, as well as wide range of fields including fisheries, marine sports and so on. Our council will make asteady and persistent effort for environmental conservation of the lake and the rivers toward many sustainable ecosystem services.

LONG-TERM MONITORING OF LAKE KASUMIGAURA, JAPAN－ A 42 YEAR LEGACY AND LOOKING TO THE FUTURE －National Institute for Environmental Studies
In 1976, National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) initiated a monitoring project in Lake Kasumigaura, which is locatednear Tsukuba city and is the second largest lake in Japan. The aim of the project was to comprehensively study water pollution andeutrophication in Lake Kasumigaura.
In 1996, Lake Kasumigaura was designated as a trend station in the GEMS/Water* Project, run by the United Nations. Furthermore,
Lake Kasumigaura is registered as a core site in JaLTER**. Currently, we carry out two different types of regular investigation: monthly
comprehensive monitoring at 10 sites and bimonthly fish monitoring at 1 site. We are pleased to announce that our project has been
continued for 40 years. All accumulated data has been provided on the website. We have plans to further expand the database in the
future.

Lake Kasumigaura is the second largest lake with approximately one million people living in the lake basin. The Tone River, including
the lake, are often affected by floods. In response, river managers have implemented flood management and control projects whiledeveloping water resources to meet the demand for water in the Tokyo metropolitan area. These developments have also succeededin stabilizing the harvests near the lake.
Populations of important aquatic plants in Lake Kasumigaura have decreased as a result of the flood control projects anddevelopment of water resources. The managers have been able to conserve and restore the plants along the shoreline but have done
so with difficulty because of the lake’s large size. Also, the waves of the lake are damaging to the plants along some of the shoreline.
Areas that are the most in need of conservation and restoration should be selected.
PWRI has found the mouths of tributaries that flow into the lake to be possibly suitable areas for aquatic plants and is considering
planning methods for conservation and restoration.

It is important not only scientifically but also for many practical purposes such as water quality improvement, restoration of
ecosystem, or water resources management to understand hydrological processes and water balance of Lake Kasumigaura. Although
it is a demanding job to determine all the fluxes of inputs and outputs, we at University of Tsukuba, have worked to estimate
them based on own measurements and data obtained by the government as well as prefecture. It has been found that the annual
precipitation is some 1250-1600 mm while evaporation loss from the lake is 860-950 mm. Water balance estimates also indicatethat inputs to the lake consist of precipitation (about 15%), river discharge (about 75 %), discharge from agricultural fields (<10%),and rest by the discharge from domestic water treatment and groundwater flow); outputs are river discharge (60-70%), evaporation(approximately 10%), agricultural water intakes (about 15%), and the rest is from industrial water and domestic water intakes.
However, improvements to the accuracy to each estimate are still needed as some of them are based on certain assumptions andinsufficient data.

SAVE WATER, SAVE LAKES OF THE WORLD: PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF
LAKES AND THEIR BASINSThe International Lake Environment Committee Foundation (ILEC)
Only slightly less than one percent of all the water resources on earth is the freshwater that is readily available for human use, withapproximately ninety percent of this portion belonging to lakes and their basins. Thus, lakes are a vital water resource, constituting arich and essential component of nature as well as providing a variety of benefits to human beings. In other words, deterioration of lake
environment can heavily affect water resources. Unfortunately, however, many lakes and other inland waters around the world are ina critical condition. To address such issues, the International Lake Environment Committee Foundation, known as ILEC, in collaboration
with its partner organizations around the world, promotes rational and sound management of world lakes and their catchment areas
under the vision of “Save Water, Save Lakes.” ILEC is a public interest incorporated foundation authorized by the cabinet of Japanand headquartered on the shore of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. Since its establishment back in 1986, the activities of ILEC
have been centred around three pillars; 1) global promotion of lake basin management, most notably being carried out through thedissemination of the concept of the Integrated Lake Basin Management 2) capacity building for lake professionals and the youth
through training and educational programs, and 3) successful organization of a biannual international conference on lakes, so-called
the World Lake Conference. It also has an advisory panel called Scientific Committee, a group of lake professionals stationed in eachcontinent of the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN LAKES BY THE MINISTRY OF LAND,INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT AND TOURISM

As economic and social structures have changed greatly in the latter half of the 20th century, various harmful effects have occurred
such as decreasing river flow and worsening water quality. The Ministry has been working for a sound water cycle via such things as
the promotion of water circulation measures, river environment improvement and sewage improvement. In recent years, rivers, lakes
and marshes have become important as habitats and environments for the reproduction and growth of living things, and we are also
working for the conservation of ecosystems.

WATER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA
Kasumigaura River Office, Kanto Regional Development Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism
The water environment of Lake Kasumigaura brings diverse benefits to us. In the Kasumigaura basin, flood damage and salt damage
frequently occurred in the past. As a result, the flood control plant has been raising the safety and security of the area, making it
possible to use water stably in the Tokyo metropolitan areas by the water utilization project. While urbanization of river basins anddevelopment of social infrastructure have been progressing, problems of water environment such as water pollution, loss of lake shore
vegetation zone and loss of lake water bathing spots have become apparent. In order to respond to these issues, the KasumigauraRiver Office will continue to provide diverse benefits of the environment of Lake Kasumigaura water based on the "Lake KasumigauraRiver Development Project" and "Lake Water Quality Conservation Plan for Lake Kasumigaura (Seventh Phase)". In order to sustainably
enjoy and take the benefits over to the children of the future, the people in the basin are unitedly taking efforts to improve water
quality, conserve and restore the natural environment, maintain good mutual relation between the river and the people, preserve andform landscape, promote environmental education and carry out basin- wide comprehensive river management.

The Naka River, Lake Kasumigaura, and the Tone River have played important roles in the stable and broad-based supply ofwater resources, contributing to development of industry and economy in the drainage basin. However, expansion of industry andadvancement of urbanization have caused various problems such as water pollution of Lake Kasumigaura and the Sakura River thatruns through Mito City and drought in the Naka and Tone Rivers. In response, measures are under way to purify water and securestable water resources in the entire drainage basin. The Kasumigaura Water-Conveyance Project is aimed at remedying these
problems by forming a Kanto-Region water network that connects the Naka River, Lake Kasumigaura, and the Tone River and thus
making effective use of limited water resources.

EFFORTS IN THE KASUMIGAURA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT（MANAGEMENT）
Tone River Downstream Integrated Operation and Maintenance Office Water Agency
Lake Kasumigaura is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki prefecture. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Japan. Since
it was originally an inlet of the Pacific Ocean surrounded by low-lying area. So that floods and salt damages occurred in the past, andthen along with the rapid economic growth, demand of domestic, industrial, and agricultural water increased. To cope with that,Japan Water Agency (JWA) worked on the Kasumigaura development project for the purpose of flood control and new water use,
and JWA has been conducting inspection and maintenance work of the lake banks, and managing the sluice gates and observation
instruments since April 1996. Also, in order to preserve the natural environment of the area, known as “Myogi no hana“ which
occupies large part of the marchland of Lake Kasumigaura, JWA conduct environmental surveys, and carry out maintenance work of
the facilities in which people can come into contact with nature. As the lake shore vegetation zone shrinks, JWA strive to restore it bycreating the foreshore, making efficient use of the by-product of dredging work. Besides, considering the river environment, at the Tone
river estuary barrage on Tone River, JWA makes salinity adjustment to the extent of not causing problem to water supply, in addition,
fishways were installed in this project.

‘BOTTOM-LAYER DISSOLVED-OXYGEN’ AND ‘SHORE TRANSPARENCY’: NEW INDICATORSFOR JAPAN LAKES AND RESERVOIRS- TO REALIZE BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL WATER-QUALITY AND INTRODUCE INDICATORSTHAT THE PUBLIC CAN READILY UNDERSTAND Water Environmental division, Environment Management Bureau, Ministry of the Environment
Even though, environmental loading from inflow to enclosed water bodies has been decreasing based on the lake plans, theachievement ratio of environmental water-quality standards of lakes have generally tended to flatten out at about 50%. Problems
remain, such as poor oxygen water mass in bottom-layer, overgrowth of aquatic plants, decrease in native aquatic life. We are pointed
out the difficulty in conveying the current situation of water environment only using the achievement ratio of past environmental waterquality standards.
In 2016 March, Ministry of the Environment implemented new water environmental indicators, ‘Bottom-layer dissolved-oxygen’ and‘Shore transparency’, in order to improve the situation and make environmental water-quality indicators and targets that the public canreadily understand.
Bottom-layer dissolved-oxygen was set as living environmental standard in terms of securing dissolved-oxygen for inhabiting aquatic
life, and shore transparency was set as a regional environmental objective in terms of recreational use and conservation of aquaticplants.
Ministry of the Environment will continue approaches to penetrate measures utilizing new indicators and to achieve favorable water
environment in various lakes.

Benefits such as stable climate, cleanwater, pollination, soil formation and nutrient cycling can stabilize agriculture, forestry and fisheries production, while the formationof culture and beautiful scenery can revitalize rural areas and communities. These all make up the foundation for the development of
nation's economy and well-being of citizens.
The MAFF devised the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' Biodiversity Strategy to promote a sustainable agriculture,
forestry and fisheries industry harmonized with the natural environment of our country and is implementing support for sustainableagriculture such as organic agriculture, support for joint activities supporting multifunctionality of agriculture and rural areas, etc.

EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY IN LAKE KASUMIGAURA BY TSUCHIURA CITY
Environmental Conservation Division, Tsuchiura City
Tsuchiura city has long been developed in close relation with Kasumigaura for agriculture, fishery, sightseeing and so on. However,the Lake water quality was deteriorated rapidly in the 1960s, due to modernization of lifestyle and industrial activities as well as
population growth in the watershed, which consequently affected the lives of citizens in terms of offensive odors, musty smell inthe tap water, and so on caused by fat formation of Aoko (blue-green algae).Under these circumstances, Tsuchiura city started
financial assistance for those who installed johkasou that cleared certain level of treatment performance, to sewage system andrural community wastewater treatment, and initiatively implemented domestic wastewater countermeasures. As a result, the city has
succeeded in reducing pollutant load into Lake Kasumigaura. In order to conserve and succeed rich nature including Lake Kasumigaura,
the city considers environmental education to be the most important subject for fostering local attachment by experiencing its history
and nature. The city provides various environmental educations for citizens of all generations. The city regards Lake Kasumigaura as animportant resources of environment, culture and industry, and strives to establish sustainable ecosystem services.

EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY BY THE TSUKUBA CITY
Environmental Conservation division, Tsukuba City
There are several rivers running through Tsukuba City, such as Sakura River, Kokai River, Yata River, and Hanamuro River. Tsukuba
City has been carrying out a variety of measures for water quality conservation of these rivers. Measures include: Periodic patrol bywater quality inspectors to prevent water pollution and illegal dumping; Cleaning of rivers annually by collecting trash in rivers andwaste illegally dumped into rivers; “Full of Flowers Project” to plant flowers of the season every year along rivers; Awareness campaign
with citizen’s participation offering a variety of programmes especially for children at “Science Collabo” event held in every November
at Oshimizu Park in Tsukuba City.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND WISE USE AT HINUMA,IBARAKI TOWN
Green Environmental Section, Ibaraki Town
Ibaraki Town, located at the center of Ibaraki Prefecture, is a rural city with the peaceful living atmosphere that is blessed with a richnatural environment of water and greenery, such as “Hinuma Lake.” Hinuma, the symbol of Ibaraki Town, is the only brackish waterlake in the Kanto region of Japan (Tokyo metropolitan area). Represented by “Hinuma Ito-Tombo (Mortonagrion hirosei)” which isnamed after the lake, it provides habitats for the wide variety of wild species such as the migratory scaup “Suzugamo,” “O-washi (Steller’s Sea Eagle),” “Osekka (Marsh grassbird)” and many other flora and fauna. The beautiful scenery and abundant natural resourcesof Hinuma have long played a major role to sustain the local fishery and as a place of recreation as well. For these reasons, it was
designated of the Ramsar Convention (Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat) in May
2015.
However, after entering the Showa era (after 1925), once Hinuma’s water quality was deteriorated, and the original beauty has been
impaired, due to the changes in the environment such as the increase of population of the river basin, economic growth, revetment
maintenance, and reclamation project. In Ibaraki Town, we are promoting environmental conservation and the wise use of Hinuma, forthe purpose of improving its function as a place of the habitat of various creatures and of promoting the regional progress.

The aquatic animals which we investigated were mainly indicator Species. We examinedwater temperature, transparency, and 6 items with a Pack Test. Because of the results of analysis, Shigema River has a better riverenvironmental condition than that of Ooi River.

P38	‌Proposals to reduce pollution in the Shinkawa River
Tsukuba International University High School
The Shinkawa river which closely runs along our school has been historically used for flood control purposes. However, due to thelack of environmental awareness, the river has become a source of pollution.
We researched the history, topography, water quality, public opinion and success stories from similar polluted rivers. We conclude
with three potential solutions which apply the concept of community and shared ownership of the river by the neighboring areas.

P39	‌Water quality and aquatic organism of Nagamo river
Hokota second high school Biology ClubIn Nagamo river which flow near the our school, about seasonal change of water quality and aquatic organism, survey area ofrevetment were compared to the survey area that is no revetment. About the water quality, the COD decreased from July throughDecember and increased afterwards. In both investigation place the number of the kinds of the aquatic wasn't the big difference.

P40	‌Effect of divalent iron ion on aquatic environment
Kanagawa Prefectural Maritime Science High School
Divalent iron ion has been found to have various water quality improvement effects such as plant growth, activation of otherorganisms resulting therefrom, and water quality purification action by adsorbing and fixing phosphorus, which causes Eutrophication.
In this study, we focused attention on the water quality improvement effect by this divalent iron ion as a countermeasure against waterarea problem such as Microcystis blooms and Sludge.

P41	‌A study on the value of agricultural products grown using fertilizer made from water
weeds from Lake Biwa
Shiga prefectural Moriyama junior/high school SGH water weed research team
Overgrown water plants are causing environmental problems in Lake Biwa. Shiga prefecture removes water plants, makes compost
from them and provides it for free. However, it's difficult to continue the process because it costs a lot of tax money. We're now
studying how to make the system a self-sufficient process by examining the value of water plants and creating branded agricultural
products made with water-plant compost.

P42	‌Comparion of water quality survey and biological survey of Okita river and Hanazono
river
Isoharakyouei High School Science Club
Isoharakyouei High School science club has been conducting a ten-years biological survey of Okita river and Hanazono river. The
distance between observation points of both rivers is only 2 km. But there is a quite difference of aquatic animals between the twopoints. Therefore we conducted a water quality survey from 2014, and we considered whether the difference was due to the water
qualities.

P43	‌Development of the Microbial Fuel Cell using the mud of the Lake Kasumigaura
Meikei High School Science Club / biology group
The purpose of this study is to use Microbial Fuel Cell made of mud. We had prepared mud in three places at Lake Kasumigaura andchecked whether they generated electricity. As a result we learned that the mud in which generated highest electricity was the one inreed field. The electromotive force of the mud of reed field is 230mV.

P44	‌Purify water in Kasumigaura using only natural things
Meikei High School Chemistry Club
These days, the water pollution of Kasumigaura Lake is getting serious. It would effect the people health if it become more worse.But
we found bannana peel is effective against the water pollution on the news. So we tried to purify the water by natural things as likecharcoal.

P45	‌A study of golden membrane and the water quality of the habitat of Hikarimo in
Higashi-Namekawa Seaside Park
Hitachi First Senior High School Biology Club
There are many caverns in the Higashi-Namekawa Seaside Park of Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture. There golden membrane is seen on
the water surface, which is composed of great numbers of Hikarimo. Hikarimo is a single-celled creature living in the freshwater. This
study is to investigate the water quality of the habitat where the Hikarimo lives. The water contains high COD and low NH4-N. Its pH
was around 6.

P46	‌Connection with familiar water
Toyo University Ushiku Senior High School SOCIUS
Japan has abundant water resources to use for daily life including drinking water.
However, although this is different from such underground resources as would be lost if used, it is still a limited resource andtherefore, it is necessary for us to make effective use.
We've surveyed our awareness about water around drinking water and examined what the best way is to face water.

P47	‌Research on freshwater turtles in Kobe, and conservation activities for Japanese
domestic pond turtles
Kobe Yamate Girls' High School Kame-LoveThe research was carried out in Chuo-ku ward, Kobe. The population was mainly Red-eared sliders and Chinese three-keeled
pond turtles, and Japanese pond turtles were rarely noticed in the habitat. We examine the ecosystem of the species in the artificial
environment, Kobe City Sorakuen Garden, if there would be possibility for them to live in the new surroundings by the donation of thespecies by Suma Aqualife Park In Kobe.

P48	‌HIKARIMO（Ochromonas vischeri）in Mito City
Mito Daini senior high school Science ClubHIKARIMO（Ochromonas vischeri）have been in the cave of Bizen Town in Mito City. However they have been reflecting light only apart of places. As a result of our resurch, it is considered that the cause of their disappearance is the lack of nutrient salt.

P49	‌Survey of water quality and fauna of the Tonbo pond
Ibaraki Nature Museum Junior Staff
There are many creatures in the pond of Tonbo at Ibaraki Natural Museum's outdoor facility. In the last fiscal year, pond drying
was done.Thereby,it seems that many juveniles of Eastern-Japanese Common toads that had not been seen so far landed and theenvironment of the pond changed. In this research, we investigate the water quality and fauna of the pond and consider the situationof the pond.

P50	‌The Relationship between the Bluegills’ Survival and the Covered Area of the Water
Chestnuts in Mikata Lake
Wakasa high shool 3rd science and mathmatics course, The Bluegill TeamWe have clarified the ecology of the bluegills in Mikata Lake. Last year, we focused on ① verifying the earlier research* and theaverage length of them, and on ② comparing Mikata Lake with other area through the questionnaires. (*The earlier research said "The
bluegills in Mikata Lake have two spawning seasons, and the survival rate of the earlier term group relates to the covered area of thewater chestnuts.")

P51	‌Phototaxis by color in visible light of aquatic organisms
Tsuchiura Third High School Science Club
I've bred many aquatic organisms at home so I was curious to understand how fish see around them. I investigated the wavelength
range that aquatic organisms may prefer in the visible light regions. Using Guppy and Tanishi, we experimented with red, blue, green,
and ultraviolet colors simultaneously in the same glass tank, 45cm where fish could swim freely among the colors. Observations showthat the green and ultraviolet lights are less crowded.

P52	‌Is it possible to place Lake Kasumigaura on a waterfield ？
Tutiura third high school science ClubI heard the streets in Tsuchiura city were crowded in the old days, now there is less traffic. Kasumigaura Lake can be used to revive
the city. In the 1940s, this lake was used as an airport by the Navy, with unique vehicles called flying boats. We can reopen this
airport, offering patrons the options for multiple destinations. US-2 can be used as the supplier.

P53	‌Microorganisms growing in the beaker. Is there correlation with Kasumigaura?
Tsuchiura third high school Science club
We examined rainwater in a bucket in the science's room veranda and found that cyanobacteria was formed. Water was taken fromthe tap and placed in beakers which were also left on the veranda; one was placed in the shade. The experiment was geared towards
finding out if there was any correlation between the microorganisms in the beakers and Kasumigaura. Against our expectations, thebeaker in the shade produced more microorganisms.

P54	‌The effort of effective use method of Ulva which overglow at Yatsu-Higata Tidal Flat
Chiba Prefectural Tsudanuma High Schoo Science Club / Biology Team
Now, Yatsu-Higata Tidal Flat faced environmental problem which is a persistent green tide of floating Ulva. When the Ulva is spoiled,
it give off a bad smell around a residential quarter.
So we have studied for effective use method of Ulva from various viewpoints. The experiment on which we're putting the emphasis inparticular becomes bioethanol. Besides an effort to image improvement of Ulva is being also done.

P55	‌Medaka circumstances in Lake Biwa, Yodo River basin, Tanakami district～ Through DNA appraisal of medaka inhabiting lakes, rivers and rice field ～TANAKAMI children's Environment ClubThis research began by examining the DNA of medaka that lives in Mt. Tanakami in the Otsu city, Shiga Prefecture. It was foundthat the medaka in the pond near Tanakami mountain top is released. I examine habitat status of Medaka in the Tanakami region
deeply connected to Lake Biwa and Yodo River. We must spread the danger of discharging and stop the actions leading to further wild
species reduction.

P56	‌The feeding habit of Red-eared slider in Mikata Lake
Fukui prefectural Wakasa high school
In Mikata Lake recently increase of Red-eared slider which is a foreign creature can have been admitted now. But it isn't studied
about its reality. So I am trying to elucidate the ecology and investigate the competition of food had happened between the native
breed.

P57	‌Evaluation of nutrients removal by triangle sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) in Lake
Kasumigaura
Tsuchiura First High School Biology Club
We performed the experiments for the water purification ability of triangle sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii), which was cultivated to
produce freshwater pearls in Lake Kasumigaura. We analyzed the change of the amount of N, P and COD in the water, and quantified
the degree of contribution for prevention of eutrophication by the filter feeding mussel in L. Kasumigaura

P58	‌Relation between life and the Water, between Science and the Water in Lake
Kasumigaura ① Historical Background ② Gelation Experiment
Tsuchiura Nihon Univ. High School Current topics and Society Study Club Science ClubBy examining human life in the past based on the previous studies and statistic data, we difine the importance of water resource. In
order to improve the water quality of Lake Kasumigaura, we propose the easy but practical method in which sodium alginate is used
to gelate sewage and remove it. Generated gel can be also utilized as fertilizer. We plan to continue to investigate the best conditionof it.

P59	‌Discussion on biological system and alien fishes in Lake Kasumigaura
Mitsukaido Primary High School
A bluegill and an ictalurus punctatus were captured in Lake Kasumigaura. I report a method to catch the fishes and figure of the alien
fishes. Discussion on relationship between native fishes and alien fishes and future environment system of Lake Kasumigaura will be
carried out.

P60	‌Chnages of fish fauna of Lake Senba
Ibaraki high school
We conducted a fauna survey in Lake Senba by catching fishes from 1990 to 2017. We found a lot of carps and morokos, which are
known to be tolerant of water pollution and highly adaptable to environmental changes. In recent years, extreme eutrophication has
been observed in Lake Senba. In addition, alien fishes have been found. We are concerned about its influence on creatures living in thelake.

P61	‌About living together with nature and humans
Torideseitoku school drama club ＆ karuta club「what is symbiosis ?」,「can humans live together with nature ?」We have discussions about these topic in every week after school.
This is the record of the opinions and thoughts which appeared while we discussed the topic.
Our conclusion is that people can't live with nature , so far we have tried to consider the topic carefully.
