Abstract :
We are constructing the water resource cycle simulation system that can contribute to both water resource management as well as water disaster countermeasures. This simulation system makes it possible to analyze both surface water and groundwater in a unified manner, and includes visualization functions that enable the rapid and easy-to-understand display of a wide range of representations. These functions provide an accurate picture of the current conditions as well as future predictions of water resources and water disasters. We plans to use this simulation system to contribute to finding solutions to issues affecting the entire planet, including the securement of water resources and the resolution of various problems stemming from water disasters.
