It brought together about 5,000 specialists involved in city water issues, who exchanged information on up-to-date technologies and experiences.
The JRRN Secretariat sent Ms. Numata (Planning division, Foundation for Riverfront Improvement and Restoration) to the forum to give his presentation, entitled “Trends for Urban River Restoration in Asia and Efforts toward Establishing an International Network”, at a technical session of “Restoration of Urban Stream Amenity”. During the forum, there were other sessions related to river environment on the theme of aquatic ecological restoration, regional revitalization through riverboat transportation, etc., in addition to urban river restoration, which introduced diverse case examples in Korea as well as other countries.

Committee Meeting

On August 17 (Mon.), 2009, the Second ARRN Information Committee Meeting and the Second ARRN Technical Committee Meeting were held in Inchon City, Korea.
These committee meetings were held following the First ARRN Information and Technical Committee Meetings (September 2008/ Beijing City, China). In the Information Committee Meeting, discussions were held with regard to the ARRN mid-term action plan until the Sixth World Water Forum (March 2012), the organizational framework for network expansion, and future collaboration with the European Centre for River Restoration (ECRR). In the Technical Committee Meeting, there were active exchanges of opinions mainly on how we should upgrade the “ARRN River Restoration Guidelines Ver. 1” issued in March 2009, after a presentation of the latest report on river environment in each country.
Based on the results of these discussions, the ARRN Secretariat will promote coordination with related organizations in Japan, China and Korea, and will determine the future activity policies of ARRN in the Fourth ARRN Governing council Meeting to be held in Seoul City, Korea at the end of September 2009.

Lecture		Participants

On July 8 (Wed.), 2009, a group of practical engineers from the Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Government of Taiwan (Chinese Taipei), came to Japan to participate in a training program which gives information on efforts for river environment improvement in Japan, which was conducted by the JRRN Secretariat and the Foundation for Riverfront Improvement and Restoration.
In Taiwan, projects for river environment restoration have recently been carried out throughout the country, including the recent release of a website covering information on river restoration by a public agency. Therefore, we think that the above training program was a good opportunity to learn about the latest Japanese measures, etc., in the field of river environment, including nature-oriented river management and nature restoration projects. ]]> tag:www.a-rr.net,2009:/jp/en/arrn/letter//20.1342 2009-07-17T08:35:49Z 2009-07-17T08:37:59Z

Moizari River, Hokkaido

From June 10 (Wed.) to 12 (Fri.), 2009, an technical mission of the Korea River Association (53 members) came to Japan in order to observe river improvement work, flood control projects, and the river environment in Hokkaido, mainly in Sapporo City. The Korea River Association also serves as the secretariat of KRRN, which is a contact organization of ARRN in Korea. The JRRN Secretariat offered cooperation to the association, including schedule coordination with each river management agency regarding visitation sites and preparation of explanatory materials, and also accompanied the group on observation tours to the Moizari River in Eniwa, the Ishikari River, the Toyohira River and the Chitose River.
The site visit to see advanced flood control projects, flood-control measures in urban rivers, and recreational water facility plans in Japan provided an opportunity to publicize the technology used and measures taken in Japan, and to exchange opinions on river restoration between Japan and Korea. We hope that it will add momentum to promote further exchanges between Japan and Korea in the field of river environment restoration.
