Outline and Purpose of the Course Adequate management of water and chemical substances at plot-scale is very important issue for creating sustainable regional environment. Learning the procedures to propose methods of water and chemical substances management based on the knowledge of irrigation and drainage, soil physics, and hydrology. The purpose of the lecture is to provide knowledge that enables practical analysis of water and chemical substances transport in soil and runoff phenomena from an agricultural plot.
Course Goals Relating to the diploma policy of master's course "Attain a high level of specialized knowledge and understanding of research techniques with regards to problems concerning food for mankind, regional and global environmental conservation, production and use of living organisms and the mechanisms involved in the development of life", the attainment target is to acquire specialized knowledge and technology on water and chemical substances environmental management of paddy fields and uplands. Developing the ability to work independently and continuously on issues.
Schedule and Contents Lectures on the following contents will be given. However, the order may be changed according to the progress of the lecture.

1. Required water and chemical substances management at a plot
2. Water management and simulation of soil water transport at upland plot
3. Soil water management at upland plot
4. Nitrogen management at upland plot
5. Simulation of nitrogen behavior in upland soil
6. Soil nitrogen management at upland plot
