Summary In late years a flood and the shortage of water damage are frequent nationwide in each place. In addition, by climate change, there will be a threat that the rain becomes extreme more in future. It is important that I examine influence on operative standard of the river improvement institution. This study examines a rain prediction by a weather model becoming essential to consider influence by the climate change. In this study, we use WRF (Weather Research Forecasting model) which is kind of the Meso-scale weather model and predict the precipitation of the basin of the river improvement facilities. We utilize the result and examine the prediction precision in the existing technology.
