Flood Today, and the Water Scarcity on the Day After Tomorrow

Welcome to Oki and Kanae Laboratory ! Oki and Kanae Laboratory is always seeking for better scientific

understanding of water cycle and water resources and trying to deliver it to the society. By using various tools of natural and social sciences, we are struggling with many problems on different scales from global to micro. Our laboratory consists of 31 members led by Prof. Taikan Oki and Associate Prof. Shinjiro Kanae.

What is Hydrology?

Isotope

In a word, Hydrology is a study of terrestrial water cycle. To estimate the flux and storage amount of water is an essential problem and also an ultimate goal of hydrology. Left figure shows our latest estimate of it (Oki and Kanae, 2006, Science). It represents not only natural water cycle components such as precipitation but anthropogenic water cycle components such as irrigation water intake from river. Human impact on water cycle has been getting heavier, and it became a hot topic of hydrology.

Impact of climate change n4 billion people will be under water stress nHeavy snowfall and global warming

lThe fifth world best high precision H2O measurement. l“Isotope flux” can separate evaporation & transpiration.

Field observations lObservation network covering various climate and land cover types.

In Japan, river levee and dams have been well established up to today. However, only such hard measures never fully secure our life. In the world, a large number of people live along rivers without levee. Hydrologists should consider soft measures such as early flood warning system.

Theme4 Experience Hydrology Measurement of soil temperature

A miniature of global water cycle Let’s circulate global water cycle by yourself. (for children)

You can try to make an observation tool to measure soil temperature

Thank you for your interest.

Feel free to ask questions !

According to the 4 th report of IPCC, by the end of this century, global average air temperature will increase by 6.4 degrees at most. How will global warming affect the water resources? To give more reliable answer to this question, we are developing an evaluation tool of water demand/supply.

Through contributing a review article to SCIENCE Journal in 2006, our laboratory has represented the hydrological prospect about the water resource that is necessary for all creatures including human beings in the past, the present and the future in terms of global water circulation. It shows our interpretations about, such as, renewable freshwater resources assessed, virtual water trade, water use change in the future and impacts of climate change.

Hydrology is the science which deals with the water as a circulating resource on the earth, such as rain/snow fall, river flow, evapotranspiration, erosion and accumulation, water quality, and systems of water resources and their interactions. Furthermore, global water problems became one of the most important international tasks since United Nations Millennium Declaration in September of 2000. Considering the current situation, hydrology is in charge of not only ensuring adequate supplies of water to ecosystem and human society but also protecting societies from natural hazard. In this point of view, hydrology is the science delivering earth system science to society.

Hydro-meteorological forecasting systems at the Oki/Kanae Lab. Oki & Kanae Lab., IIS, Univ. of Tokyo

The development of hydro-meteorological forecasting and warning systems is a high priority in many countries. An accurate and early warning system can help to minimize disaster damages.

At the Oki & Kanae Lab, several hydro-meteorological early warning systems are under developing on global scale, regional scale, and local scale.

Some results are now real-time available at the website: http://hydro.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/LIVE/ for the three systems: Today’s Earth, Today’s Japan and Today’s Indochina.

Today’s Indochina

Today’s Earth Outputs: - Global land surface hydro/energy balance

- river discharge Spatial Resolution: 1 degree (~100 km) Time: - Run every 12 hours

- Give predictions for coming 84 hours (lead time is about 3 days)

Today’s Japan Outputs: similar to Today’s Earth

Spatial Resolution: 0.1 degree (~10 km)

Time: - Run every 6 hours - Give predictions for coming 15 hours (lead time is about 10 hours)

Outputs: - Land surface hydro-energy flux - Coming soon: river discharge, river velocity, river depth, etc.

Spatial Resolution: - 72 km for the mother domain - 24 km for the inner domain

Time: - Run every 6 hours - Give predictions for coming 72 hours (lead time is about 67 hours)

Flood Mitigation Measures

It can be broadly classified into two categories

­Hard measures representing structural methods

­Soft measures representing non­structural methods

Discussion and Conclusions

Niigata Flood, 2004 * Flooding was due to rainfall and subsequent breakdown of the dike in the river * Inundation starts at areas near the breakdown of dike * The duration between critical rainfall and inundation is very short than Chiang Mai. 0.0

Critical Situation

* The liberal collaboration between concerned authorities and proper dissemination of information is quite effective in Thailand.

*The delay in Niigata was due to the absence of quantitative concrete criteria. Niigata city has developed a system in internet that provides real time information on rainfall, water level and dam.

*Flood warning is always efficient if the lead time of prediction is high so as sufficient evacuation time can be provided to residents.

*A real­time flood forecasting based on real time observation can be used even in big river basins like Chiang Mai.

Background

• Most of earlier global water resources assessments did not deal with sub­annual variation in water resources and use explicitly. •However, an extreme seasonality in both water resources and water use exists in some parts of the world. •Moreover, global warming is projected to alter future temperature, precipitation and snowmelt patterns, and consequently, influence not only the amount but also the timing of water resource availability and use.
