Kunihiko Amano(PWRI)
Kunihiko Amano described activities conducted in conjunction with Jim Sartoris of USGS related to the function of wetlands in terms of water quality change (water treatment) and mutual relationship with aquatic ecosystems. USGS is pursuing studies focused on water quality changes and the effect of macrophytes in constructed wetlands in Hemet, CA. PWRI is conducting studies focused on water quality changes driven by aquatic ecosystems in Watarase reservoir. Amano also presented the results of field measurements aimed at analyzing the phenomenon of inorganic nutrients increase accompanying the cessation of phytoplankton blooms in Watarase reservoir in early June, and its analysis using numerical simulation.
