Comparative study about water policy of metropolitan water shortage in Japan

本报告的目的是讨论水资源问题，并寻求最佳解决方案。第一章通过与国外案例和国内历史经验的比较，论述了如何把握日本发生的水资源问题。在探讨解决大都市缺水问题的途径时，我们可以通过对用水的历史特征和社会性质的阐述来把握问题的实质。在日本，由于农业用水量巨大，我们必须从农业部门的角度来分析水资源问题。在第二章中，我考察了日本14个大都市的水资源政策的发展，如用水需求的变化，供水设施的扩大。因此，我可以说，尽管城市水资源政策的变化是意料之中的，形势已经做好了准备，但城市水资源政策的变化并没有发生。第三章考察了水资源发展政策，特别是2004年基索河水资源发展规划的修订。因此，我可以理解，日本水资源政策的问题实质就包含在其中。

The aim of this report is to discuss water resources problems, and to seek the best solution of them. At the first chapter, I discussed how to grasp water resources problems that have happened in Japan, with comparing with foreign cases and domestic historical experiences. In the discussion of the way resolving metropolitan water shortage problems, we can grasp their essence by explaining historical feature and social nature of water use. In Japan, as the volume of agricultural water use is enormous, we have to analyze water resources problems from the perspective of agricultural sector.In the second chapter, I examined the development of water resources policies in Japan's 14 metropolises, for example change of water demand, expansion of water provision facilities. As a result, I can say that the change of cities' water resources policies have not happened although its change has been expected and its situation has been already prepared for In the third chapter, 1 examined the water resources development policy, especially about revision of Kiso river's water resources development plan in 2004. As a result, I could understand that the problem essence of Japan's water resources policy was contained in it.
