    Riverbed materials serve multiple environmental functions as a habitat for aquatic invertebrates and fish. At the same time, the particle size of the bed material reflects the tractive force of the flow regime in a flood and provides useful information for flood control. The traditional riverbed particle size surveys, such as sieving, require time and labor to investigate riverbed materials. The authors of this study have proposed a method to classify aerial images taken by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our previous study showed that terrestrial riverbed materials could be classified with high accuracy. In this study, we attempted to classify riverbed materials of terrestrial and underwater samples including that which is distributed in shallow waters where the bottom can be seen using UAVs over the river segment. It was considered that the surface flow types taken overlapping the riverbed material on images disturb the accuracy of classification. By including photographs of various surface flow conditions in the training data, the classification focusing on the patterns of riverbed materials could be achieved. The total accuracy reached 90.3%. Moreover, the proposed method was applied to the river segments to determine the distribution of the particle size. In parallel, the microtopography was surveyed using a LiDAR UAV, and the relationship between the microtopography and particle size distribution was discussed. In the steep section, coarse particles were distributed and formed riffles. Fine particles were deposited on the upstream side of those riffles, where the slope had become gentler due to the dammed part. The good concordance between the microtopographical trends and the grain size distribution supports the validity of this method.

    In the uppermost stream of the Mimikawa River, in northern Miyazaki Prefecture, the contribution to river turbidity of a huge, collapsed slope alternating sandstone and mudstone layers was qualitatively shown in our previous study. In this study, the water level and turbidity were continuously observed, to obtain a quantitative estimation of this contribution. The conversion equation from the water level to the flow rate is required, but field measurements during the flooding term in the mountainous site are difficult. In this study, a high-resolution survey was conducted, and the relationship was determined via a small-scale hydraulic model shaped using a 3D printer from the survey results, to determine the relationship between the water level and the flow rate. The flow rate time series was reproduced with the distributed runoff model that is verified with the flow rate converted from the water level. The flow rate and turbidity load time series were also estimated from the long-term rainfall. The area of the bare soil surface of each small basin was obtained via satellite image analysis, and the soil yield from each surface condition was calculated. Furthermore, the amount of turbidity produced upstream of Kamishiiba Dam was calculated for each small basin. It was estimated that 24% of the turbidity was generated from the small basin covering 5.7% of the total catchment area. This study showed that it is possible to verify the hydrological model by obtaining the water-level–discharge relationship, even in the mountains, where it is difficult to observe the discharge on-site, via small-scale hydraulic model experiments.

    Sediment causes a serious problem in relation to dam function. A cooperative sediment sluicing operation has been under way since 2017 to prevent sediment from accumulating in dams in the Mimi River, Miyazaki, Japan. To achieve a smooth and stable operation, it is very important to determine the sediment source and a sediment transport system to maintain the dam's function. In the current study, the source and transport of sediment from the Mimi River basin have been analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) to reveal the peaks of mineral species. The sediment samples were collected in the Mimi River basin from the Tsukabaru Dam to the sea in an area including 4 dams and 5 tributaries. In addition, the minerals in samples collected in 2014, before the start of the sediment sluicing operation, and from 2018 to 2020, after the start of the operation, were analyzed. An evaluation of the similarity of the sediment at each sampling point based on the X-ray diffraction peaks of mineral species showed that sediment distributed upstream was transported downstream in the year when the sediment sluicing was done. This result indicates that the sediment sluicing operation at dams ensured the continuity of the sediment distribution in the Mimi River basin. In addition, an investigation done in 2020 showed that sediment particles very similar to those of the upstream tributaries were deposited downstream because of extensive flooding caused by a large typhoon. The management of sediment transport has the greatest importance in a river basin where a dam is to be constructed. It is possible to trace the history of the sediment distribution and movement resulting from the operation of sediment sluicing by using sediment mineral analysis.

    Floods in the arid areas provide fertile soil and water resources, enabling agricultural production. Based on its productivity, towns with a large population have developed along the riverbanks. On the other hand, large flood beyond the expectation will cause enormous human and economic damage. The Pech River, our study site, is a tributary of the Kunar River, which runs through eastern Afghanistan. The catchment area of the river is populated by 35.5% of the population and has 21% of the agricultural land of Kunar province.The main source of the river discharge is melted snow in the upper mountainous areas, and the maximum discharge that appears in the following spring changes depending on the amount of snowfall in the previous winter. In the year of heavy snowfall in the upper mountainous areas, the residential areas and the agricultural lands along the river experienced severe inundation.Therefore, it is necessary to predict the peak discharge in spring in advance and provide appropriate flood warnings so that the local residents can take evacuation and damage mitigation measures. In this study, we tried to develop a method for predicting the peak discharge based on the fluctuation of snow cover area evaluated with satellite images, temperature, and rainfall of the upper reaches of the Pech River.First, the boundary of the river catchment was identified based on the DEM of 30 m mesh acquired by Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). Next, the Snow cover distribution data between 2008 and 2018 at weekly intervals was downloaded from the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) database, and the catchment area was extracted. Daily temperature and precipitation data at the station nearby the catchment stored in the database of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were expected as the parameter explaining the snow melting process in spring.We tried to reproduce the discharge of the Pech River using these explanatory variables related to the process of snowfall and snowmelt with some statistical and stochastic methods. The multi-regression analysis and Neural Network were examined to reproduce the discharge fluctuation of Pech River.

    Rwanda, a landlocked country located in East Africa, is under the temperate climate due to the high altitude though near to the equator. 5.3% of the territory is covered by water bodies, lakes, and rivers. Both rainy and dry season come twice a year with frequent inundations and water shortage. Kigali, the capital city, and the most populated city in the country, is affected by floods during rainy season. Nyabugogo valley, the downtown of the capital is the typical affected area with devastating damage. The mitigation measures such as widening Mpazi drainage channel were taken by the government based on a number of researches. However, the inundation still occurs every year. This research aims to propose rainwater harvesting (RWH) that can supply water to each household, as a mitigation measure to floods. In order to assess the effect of RWH installation on the flood control, Runoff modeling and simulation of Flood inundation was carried out.Nyabugogo river catchment area, delineated using DEM, is 1663.95 km<sup>2</sup>. The dominant land cover is forest (65%) and crop land (22%). Run-off from the upper catchment area was simulated using SWAT model with input data of elevation, soil, and land use data. The simulation was done for 3 years 2011-2013 and calibrated using SWAT CUP.IRIC Nays2Dflood Model was used to simulate and visualize the flooded area with the input data of the discharge simulated by the above modeling and water level at downstream of the flooded area for the flood event reported on March 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> 2020. The boundary conditions were set along the river, with two inflow points: Nyabugogo river and Mpazi outlet. The maximum water depth and the maximum velocity were observed at the confluence of the two streams; and flood extended throughout the valley. The accuracy of the simulation was checked by comparison with the sentinel2 satellite images.The RWH system installation will be simulated and its hydrological impact on flood will be assessed as the final outcome of this research. Rainwater harvesting system installation, additionally to reducing flood mitigation, can contribute to improvement of the population’s health and sanitation, which aligns with the SDGs. Knowing the extent at which RWH can reduce flood, will open to further studies on design and cost analysis of the system.
