The lab analyzes the relationship between the water cycle and human activity to prepare for water-related disasters.
AboutAbout the lab
Interactions between the water cycle and human activities
The Hydrological Cycle Engineering Lab studies how human social and economic activities interact with the movement of water at global and regional scales.
To address water resource problems, the lab builds water resources models that incorporate social and economic activities.
It also studies how to manage the risk of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts.
The lab is part of the Water Resources Research Center at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, and is also called the Hori Lab.
Key terms
- Water resources
- Water from rivers, lakes, groundwater, and other sources that can be used for drinking, agriculture, industry, and so on
- Drought
- A situation in which rivers and dams run short of water, for example because of little rainfall
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops models that capture the relationship between the Earth's water cycle and human activity. It also builds methodologies for assessing water-related risks, mainly floods and droughts, and for developing countermeasures.
