よりよい適応管理を目的とする塩水浸入による損失、損害についての知識格差の特定

在2014财年第一次实地考察的基础上，研究员收集了建立和运行用于生成斯里兰卡Killinochi地区地下水潜力分区图的模型所需的数据集。为完成研究的第二部分水资源水文地球化学评价，重点关注肾脏并发症，于2015年7月进行了第二次实地访问。在收集数据的同时，与相关节点科学官员进行了讨论，并对情况进行了评估。该研究员参加了斯里兰卡国家农业研究所的启动计划，该计划基本上是一项开展研究以提高该地区农民生计的倡议，作为该地区的最终用户，他们将从研究成果中受益。在收集了所有信息后，他用不同的水文软件分析了水文地球化学数据，并能够破译导致那里水质恶化的因素。在此期间，研究员有不同的机会在国际会议（例如：日本京都工程与资讯科技年会、新加坡亚洲大洋洲地球科学年会）上发表演讲，展示其研究成果，并与该研究领域的知名科学家和专家会面。根据会议上的讨论和反馈，研究员能够更好地调整他的研究成果，并将其反映在研究成果和JSPS研究报告中。

Based on the first field visit made in FY2014, the Fellow has collected dataset required for set-up and running the model for generating groundwater potential zonation map of Killinochi area, Sri Lanka. To complete the second part of research that is hydrogeochemical assessment of water resources with special emphasis on kidney complications, the second field visit was made in July, 2015. In parallel to gather the data, the problem was discussed with relevant nodal scientific officer and the situation was assessed. The Fellow attended launching program of INATE, Sri Lanka which is basically an initiative to carry out research to enhance the livelihoods of farmers in the area who will benefit from the results as final end user of the area. After collecting all the information, he had analyzed hydrogeochemical data with different hydrological software and was able to decipher the factors responsible for water quality deterioration there. During this time period, the Fellow had different opportunities to present his research output though talks in international conferences (e.g. In Annual Conference on Engineering and Information Technology, Kyoto, Japan; Annual Meeting of Asia Oceania Geosciences, Singapore) and meet renowned scientists and experts in this research field. Based on the discussion and feedbacks received at the conference the Fellow was able to fine tune his research results in better sense, and reflect them in the research output as well as JSPS Research Report.
