In the

IWRM. Mr. Kawasaki explained IWRM in Asia focusing on what was
achieved by NARBO.
Then,
they went to Kasukabe-city in order to see one of the cutting-edge flood
control facilities in Japan. The facility which lets water from smaller rivers
to larger river through huge underground channel in order to prevent flood was
constructed in 2006. The participants had a small lecture on the facility and
went inside the channel.
After
