Overview of rivers and water resources in Japan
This paper describes the climatic and topographical characteristics of Japan. Derived from these conditions, Japan's rivers tend to be short and precipitate, and severe flooding has been common since early times. Since the end of the last century widescale river improvement works have been undertaken for various reasons. There has been a rapid increase in the productivity of farm land as a result of improved irrigation, and the industrialization and urbanization of Japan have been facilitated. Problems have arisen, however, particularly in regard to pollution and landscape degradation.
