Abstract
Water-related disasters such as floods and droughts are increasing in the world and their scale of damage and impact is becoming increasingly serious. This may be caused by factors like climate change in global scale, rapid population growth, the high concentration of population and property in urban areas, etc. In Japan, flood risk is seriously high because of its special meteorological and geophysical conditions. Typhoons and Bay-u fronts bring heavy rainfall to Japan. Rivers are characterized by rapid runoff because of steep slopes of Japanese mountains. In addition, large fraction of the population and property are concentrated in floodplains which have the large potential of inundation.
