One of our research scope is Hydrology in watershed scale.
Water quality in stream is also our major research topic with catchment hydrology.
In our research and educational field, the water movements that occur in river basins are analyzed from both the aspects of water quantity and that of water quality. We are also researching the mitigation of disasters by flooding and drought, management of water resources and environment, as well as irrigation and drainage in rural areas.
The following are some of our main research topics: Rainfall-runoff model and its optimization, runoff forecasting for high and low flow, effective use of water resources in foreign countries such as the Nile River in Sudan, establishment of an unbiased load estimation method from diffuse source, and development of water quality modeling of ions and suspended solids from small forested catchments.
