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财年首次实地考察的基础上，该研究员收集了建立和运行斯里兰卡基里诺奇地区地下水潜力区划图模型所需的数据集。为了完成研究的第二部分，即水资源水文地球化学评估，特别强调肾脏并发症，于2015年7月进行了第二次实地考察。在收集数据的同时，与有关节点科学干事讨论了这一问题，并对情况进行了评估。这位研究员参加了斯里兰卡纳特的启动计划，该计划基本上是一项倡议，旨在开展研究，以改善该地区农民的生计，他们将作为该地区的最终用户从结果中受益。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，这位研究员有不同的机会通过在国际会议上发表演讲来展示他的研究成果(例如，在日本京都举行的工程和信息技术年度会议；在新加坡举行的亚洲大洋洲地球科学年会)，并会见该研究领域的知名科学家和专家。根据会议上收到的讨论和反馈，该研究员能够更好地微调他的研究成果，并将其反映在研究成果以及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.
