Newly established master’s course, Special Study Programon International River Basin Environmental Science links
with existing doctoral course, Special Course on Integrated
International River Basin Water Management.

Development of human resources who reduces the water related disaster and health impact
Ability to implement integrated
river basin water management

International level ofresearch skills

Leadership skills■Propelling interdisciplinary research work in

medical and engineering fields

Train human resources who can reveal the overall relationshipbetween environmental factors and the health of residents
around Asia’s river basins through medical and engineering
viewpoints, and can provide policies on water management
and public health with scientific support.

Fusing studies of hydrology, water quality
science, public health, and biochemistry.

Extension by UY G-COE■Consistent education for master’s and doctoral courses■Propelling interdisciplinary research work in medical and engineering fields

1. River Basin Hydrology
2. Environmental Dynamics
3. Environmental Management
4. Regional Planning
5. The Health Risk within River Basin■Expansion to Larger Asian Region■Virtual Academy■Hydro-Intelligence Unit
■Application of advanced observation method■Utilization of Result and Data of Research ■Overseas Cooperation Centers

Purpose of UY G-COE■Enrichment of Virtual Academy
Making packages of the latest technologies such ashydrologic models available online, and supervise front-line
specialists while monitoring their level of achievement in
aspects such as the acquisition of related knowledge anddata management.

1. Acquisition of knowledge for Asian river basin and development of technology
and method suitable to Asian river basin
2. Build the development system of human resources who translate thetechnology and knowledge to decision maker, researcher in Asian river basin

Establish method of evaluating prioritized policies.

■Hydro-Intelligence Unit
Access of data between researchers through specifying validdata, collecting onsite observed data, and using data archives;
combine data from and knowledge on all fields related to riverbasins.
