Historical review of river improvement works in the Tone river basin
This paper traces the history of improvement works in the Tone basin, which includes Tokyo, as background to an understanding of river management in Japan today. After outlining the hydrogeographical features of the area, the author describes how the course of the Tone has changed, first naturally and later by design. Artificial alterations were made variously for the purposes of transportation, land reclamation, military defence and flood protection. Rivers are no longer important highways, but flooding remains an ever-present danger.
