Summary Extension of River administrative structures such as levees and revetments are considerably long and most of them are submerged in water or lie under the ground. Therefore, they require quite large cost for maintenance and operation. Damage of these facilities during flood time sometimes causes levee breaks and countermeasures should be taken immediately. Detecting equipments for damage of these facilities are developed in fact. However, their installation and operation methodology is not clear. Some of them do not provide expected performance. So, we studied evaluation method for performance of these equipments and effective river management utilizing these equipments in this research.
