| Summary | After the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster of March, 2011, a domestic nuclear power plant stops. Therefore stringency of the electricity continues now. Renewable energy attracts attention as electricity except the atomic energy. The small hydraulic power generation is one of the renewable energy. Increase of small hydraulic power generation is expected in future. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering simplifying the procedure of use of small hydraulic power generation. However, in order that there may not be sufficient knowledge about the influence on the river depended on water supplies, it is difficult for the status quo to judge the permission for water supplies in the river of a mountain. Therefore, the determination method of the normal discharge in the river of a mountain was considered. |
