Outline and Purpose of the Course It is important to consider rivers comprehensively from the various points of view based on natural and social sciences, and engineering technology. The fundamental knowledge to consider rivers and to make the plans for river basins is explained with the following contents: various viewpoints to consider rivers, long term environmental changes of rivers and its main factors, river flows and river channel processes, the ecological system of rivers and lakes, flood and slope failure disasters, the integrated river basin planning (flood defense, environmental improvement planning, sediment transport system), functions of dam reservoir and management.
