Tadashi
Suetsugi presented material describing how, in Japan, vegetation encroachment
has been occurring in many rivers. NILIM is studying on a restoration
method of the fluvial system by widening the river channel and supplying
gravels at upper reaches focusing on the Nagata district of the Tama
River. And it is verified that this restoration technique has been
effective through the observation in 2001-2002. USGS started the restoration
by vegetation clearing in the Platte River in 2002. Both Institutes
will continue the collaboration on these issues.
