Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the development, use, and management of water for agriculture.
AboutAbout the lab
Agricultural water, from development to management
The Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Lab studies how to develop, use, and manage water for agriculture.
Its subjects include irrigation systems that bring water to fields, the use and assessment of water resources, and methods in which farmers participate in managing water.
In the Environmental Engineering Course of the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences, it is listed as Water Resources and Environmental Engineering in the field of "Water, Soil, and Greenery."
Key terms
- Irrigation
- A system that artificially supplies water to fields through channels and other means.
- Farmland consolidation
- A project that arranges farmland plots, water channels, and roads to make cultivation easier.
- Water fees
- The costs that farmers bear for using irrigation water.
NewsLab news
Prof. Ishii wrote several entries in the book Farmland Environmental Engineering (3rd edition)

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how to develop, use, and manage water used in agriculture. Its research projects and papers range from farmland consolidation and water fee systems in Japan to irrigation management overseas, including in Vietnam.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment and management of agricultural water
The lab studies how to develop and manage agricultural water. Its research projects and presentations include a study examining the effects of a system that charges water fees according to the amount of water used.
*Illustrative imageUse and assessment of water resources
The lab studies how to use and assess water resources, including assessing the risk of agricultural water shortages. It also has a paper presenting a case study of paddy field development in pre-modern Japan.
*Illustrative imageParticipatory irrigation management by farmers
The lab studies systems in which farmers participate in managing irrigation water. Its research projects and presentations include a study of irrigation water management by cooperative organizations formed by groups of villages in Vietnam, and a comparison of management methods in Vietnam and Japan.
