| Summary | River levees have complicated history of construction and have been made of uneven materials. Therefore, it is difficult to figure out the strength of river levees against flooding. For investigating the strength of river levees, River Bureau of MILT issued the Technical Guideline for monitoring of river levees in F. Y. 2003 and Regional Development Bureaus of MLIT implement monitoring of river levees based on it. This study is to evaluate and analysis the result of river levee monitoring implemented by Regional Development Bureaus and propose the improvement methodology of river levee monitoring. |
