The contents are as follows. 1) We estimated effect of river basin environment characteristics on river water quality. 2) We collected river basin environment information and clarified the change of social conditions and investigated prediction of social conditions related to population. 3) We analyzed the environmental protection policy effects by using a water and material cycle simulation model.
