Outline and Purpose of the Course	Applied and integrated approach to the problems closely related to the water circulation system, such as floods, droughts, water contamination, ecological change, and social change is introduced mainly from the hydrological viewpoint with reference to water quantity, quality, ecological and socio-economic aspects. In the course, several actual water problems are taken up and solving process of each problem which comprises of problem-identification and formulation, impact assessment, countermeasures design and performance evaluation is learned through the lectures’ description and also investigation and discussion among the students.
Course Goals	To obtain fundamental Knowledge and skills to perform problem definition, survey amd countermeasure design on problems about water use, water hazard mitigation and water environment.
