Examining the effects on underground water levels of a subterranean construction using a 3D management model for underground water in Kyoto-City, Japan.

摘要

Kyoto city has various traditional cultures and industries. One of these is the production of Japanese sake, for which Fushimi-Ward is famous. This area has a lot of underground water of good water quality suited to making Japanese sake, and consequently. However, the new construction of a combined sewer system was started 3 years ago in Fushimi-Ward. The purpose of our study is to establish a 3D management model for underground water and examining the influence of the subterranean construction on the surrounding underground water level. The underground water of the Fushimi area has been protected by the Fushimi sake brewing union. They protect underground water from various potentially harmful construction projects. We believe that this management model will be useful in predicting the effects of the underground water levels. And, it is recognized that in the context of this model the new sewer does not cause adverse effects on underground water levels. We have to protect the underground water in the Fushimi area and in order to protect traditional Japanese sake.
