We’re happy to be back in Building 9 after the renovation was completed!
To mark the return, we held a year-end and Christmas party in the lab as a welcome-back gathering.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! 🎄✨

Early modern Tokyo was a city of water with rivers and canals crisscrossing the city and connecting its commercial centers. However, modern Tokyo's rivers have disappeared—filled in, or converted into concrete-lined sewers. This article explores what happened to these waterways during Japan's peri...

Our new paper has been published! The first author is Chamal Perera, D2 student of NULID lab. We improved the socio-hydrological model to capture urban flood damages in Sri Lanka.

Chamal Perera, Shinichiro Nakamura, Improvement of socio-hydrological model to capture the dynamics of combined river and urban floods: a case study in Lower Kelani River Basin, Sri Lanka, Hydrological Research Letters, 2022, Volume 16, Issue 2, Pages 40-46.

Abstract:
Identifying the complex patterns of human-flood interactions over longer periods of time is very important in floodplain management activities. The recently introduced socio-hydrology (SH) model contributes to capture these long-term behaviors of human-flood systems. This model can be utilized to explain the long-term dynamics of human-water interaction in floodplains. The current SH model exclusively illustrates the impact of river floods on floodplain communities. However, in some river basins, urban floods (due to high intensity rainfall) are dominant, whereas in other river basins, both river floods and urban floods influence the dynamics of the system. It is often difficult to distinguish the type of flood from actual local disaster data sets. In this study, we proposed an improvement to the existing SH model to capture the dynamics of both river floods and urban floods based on a case study from the Lower Kelani Basin, Sri Lanka, using simulated historical flood damages. The improved model was applied to capture flood damages in the target watershed, and the results further emphasize the importance of flood risk perception in flood damage reduction.
