message	Technology and information processing for environmental management are necessary to guarantee comfortable and a healthy living environment in future, ranging from the global environment to the local environment. There will be increasing interest in how we get information about environment (monitoring), how we arrange the information (statistics), mechanisms of environmental changes, and the kind of facilities and management systems (for water supply, sewerage, rivers and lake basins) necessary for environmental conservation and restoration.

Environmental Planning Laboratory
introduction	The Environmental Planning Laboratory (formerly Sanitary Engineering Laboratory) has a history of 33 years. Within this period, more than 400 undergraduate and graduate students have graduated from the laboratory. These graduates are playing leading roles in society as public officers or company employees. Our research involves collection of data through fieldwork, clarifying mechanisms regarding quantity and quantity of water, and developing measures for environmental management and policy simulation models. Through this we relate nature and urban human activities concerning the water cycle, such as the water resource?water use?water supply?sewerage?pollution of rivers and lakes relationship. Also, as part of international technical cooperation, we lay emphasis on development of evaluation methods for ODA water supply projects through field surveys. In addition, we consider that it is not only sufficient to achieve the purpose of the studies, but it is also important to acquire relevant skills as a specialized engineer for the society. Therefore, we provide exposure to original tools for information processing technology, fieldwork, internship, and studying abroad. We went to Kurobe Dam to learn about practical
