It has been pointed out that global climate change is likely to cause
rising sea level and enlarged fluctuations of precipitation including
more frequent heavy rainfall, more intensified tropical cyclones and
severer droughts. To cope with these possible future changes,
the River Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism, Japan, is currently looking into how Japan should
implement adaptation measures to climate change especially in the
field of water-related disasters, such as floods, sediment-related
disasters, storm surges and droughts.
