The water quality of the surface runoff is greatly different from the groundwater runoff. The tendency of concentration change in accordance with river discharges is different from each other. The water qtiality of groundwater runoff changes with river discharges clockwise in many cases. The differences of COD and SS originating from those of population and industrial activities in each basin are found in the lower SS concentrations of the surface runoff and the COD cencentrations of the groundwater runoff. The nutrients and chlorine ion were investigated, too. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=FukumotoKohji kn-aut-sei=Fukumoto kn-aut-mei=Kohji aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering, Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Tottori Prefectural Office END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=26 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=23 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=200411 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=岡山大学保健環境センター環境安全部門部門の発足 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学保健環境センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=25 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=1 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2003 dt-pub=200308 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=環境管理センターISO14001認証取得と全学的な環境管理システムの構築の必要性 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境管理センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=23 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=1 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2001 dt-pub=200108 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=環境問題に係る最近の住民運動と社会科学的な検討の必要性 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境管理センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=22 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=2 end-page=4 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=200009 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=大学における環境マネジメントの検討 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境管理センター END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=22 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=26 end-page=31 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=200009 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Evaluation of genotoxic potential in sewage and treated effluent with the umu-test kn-title=Umu試験による生活系排水の遺伝毒性評価 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The umu-test, which can detect genotoxic activites of a wide variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagenes, was carried out with samples from several sewage treatment processes. We applied the umu-test to raw sewage and treated effluent from two points of view, one is to evaluate a treatment process and the other is to identify the genotoxic substances. The original strain of umu-test, Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 can detect nonspecific genotoxicity, on the other hand, by using S. typhimurium NM2009 of the umu-test highly sensitive to aromatic amines, genotoxicity related to aromatic amines is measured. The result showed that genotoxic substances which have the polycyclic aromatic amino structures in the sewage remained after biological treatment. Tow-step HPLC fractionation followed by MS analysis to identify the genotoxic substances was applied to samples to detect mutagenic and carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. The concentration of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 determined in the effluent caluculated from HPLC-UV analysis were on the order of 10(-5) mg/L. Because of the possibility of the reuse of wastewater in urban areas, the need for the investigation of the safety of the treated water from the sewage treatment plants was suggested, in order to evaluate strategies for advanced treatment, if necessary. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MohriShino en-aut-sei=Mohri en-aut-mei=Shino kn-aut-name=毛利紫乃 kn-aut-sei=毛利 kn-aut-mei=紫乃 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OnoYoshiro en-aut-sei=Ono en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=小野芳朗 kn-aut-sei=小野 kn-aut-mei=芳朗 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境理工学部環境デザイン工学科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境理工学部環境デザイン工学科 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=19 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=2 end-page=3 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1997 dt-pub=199707 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=都市の時代と地球環境問題 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境理工学部 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=71 end-page=76 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20070315 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The effect of aeration and water intake on the water quality in the Asahi River Dam reservoir en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The Asahi River Dam reservoir is one of the important fresh water resources in Okayama, Japan, and its eutrophication has been noted since the 1980s. Therefore, aeration has been applied to control the growth of phytoplankton. In this study, we discussed the effect of aeration and water-intake depth on the water quality distribution in the reservoir, based on numerical simulation and observation. The principal conclusions were as follows:(1) The numerical simulation models applied here reproduced observations fairly well. (2) Water intake from the surfacce layer reduced the concentration of chlorophyll a in the surface layers. Water intake from the middle or bottom layer improved the deficit of dissolved oxygen in the bottom layers. (3) Aeration together with water intake from the middle or bottom layer improved the deficit of dissolved oxygen in the bottom layers. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=ChenW. kn-aut-sei=Chen kn-aut-mei=W. aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YoshidaR. kn-aut-sei=Yoshida kn-aut-mei=R. aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Nimi Branch Office of Okayama Prefecture affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=the Asahi River Dam Reservoir kn-keyword=the Asahi River Dam Reservoir en-keyword=numerical simulation kn-keyword=numerical simulation en-keyword=eutrophication kn-keyword=eutrophication en-keyword=water intake depth kn-keyword=water intake depth en-keyword=dissolved oxygen kn-keyword=dissolved oxygen en-keyword=chlorophylla kn-keyword=chlorophylla END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=7 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=45 end-page=53 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2002 dt-pub=20020322 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Study on Influence of Current Velocity on Phytoplankton kn-title=流動が植物プランクトンに及ぼす影響に関する研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The main problems caused by eutrophication result from the increase of phytoplankton. Therefore, controlling the increase of phytoplankton is the most important. In this study, we discuss the influence of current velocity on the growth of phytoplankton based on the field experiments and laboratory experiments. The laboratory experiments for the influence of current velocity on the growth have been conducted using circular channels, and the field experiments were conducted using a shallow pond. The results of the experiments show current velocity inhibits the growth of phytoplankton. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=LiJinsong en-aut-sei=Li en-aut-mei=Jinsong kn-aut-name=季勁松 kn-aut-sei=季 kn-aut-mei=勁松 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OnoYosiro en-aut-sei=Ono en-aut-mei=Yosiro kn-aut-name=小野芳朗 kn-aut-sei=小野 kn-aut-mei=芳朗 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Eutrophication kn-keyword=Eutrophication en-keyword=growth of phytoplankton kn-keyword=growth of phytoplankton en-keyword=influence of current velocity kn-keyword=influence of current velocity en-keyword=experiment kn-keyword=experiment END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=14 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=139 end-page=150 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19791201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Ozonation of Organic Substances from View Points of Wastewater Treatment en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, ozonation of organic substances which are found in wastewater is discussed regarding following respects; (1)removal ratios of COD(Cr) and TOC, (2)removal properties, and (3)oxidation products. The main results are summarized as follows. (l)Ozonation quickly removes proteins and amino acids, but mildly polysaccharides and n-saturated carboxylic acids. (2)The initial removal of COD(Cr) or TOC is quite rapid, but, as the reaction continues, it slows down so drasti-cally that one may suspect that it has completed. (3)Starch and albumine are decomposed to the smaller molecular compounds. (4)The COD(Cr) /TOC ratio of each substance which is chosen in this study decreases. This means that ozonation results in the formation of oxygenated fragments of the original molecule-occurs by bond fission or partial oxidation. (5)Proteins are indispensable components in frothing because they are surface active. They are removed by not only oxidation but also foaming, however, the removal by foaming is not so large. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KawaraOsami kn-aut-sei=Kawara kn-aut-mei=Osami aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=26 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=61 end-page=73 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1991 dt-pub=19911130 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Model of Water Quality Management for the Hino River en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan, and one of the most important fresh water resources. The Hino River is the fourth largest river among the rivers which flow into Lake Biwa. The eutrophication of the lake has been warned since the 1960s. In order to improve the water quality of the lake, to decrease the loads through rivers is inevitable. Therefore, it is needed to predict the effects of measures to control pollutant loads and the influence of development in the basin on the loads from rivers before developing the basin and taking measures. This paper deals mainly with the model of water quality management for the Hino River and the effects of the development in the basin on the water quality. The model was formulated considering loads from forests, rice paddy fields, households, housing land, industrial factories. Using this model, a calculation system by a microcomputer was developed and the influence of urbanization of the basin was discussed. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawaraOsami en-aut-sei=Kawara en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=河原長美 kn-aut-sei=河原 kn-aut-mei=長美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=DannoHideki kn-aut-sei=Danno kn-aut-mei=Hideki aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KunimatsuTakao kn-aut-sei=Kunimatsu kn-aut-mei=Takao aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Tohre Engineering, Ltd. affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Agriculture, Shiga Prefectural Junior College END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=11 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=37 end-page=49 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1977 dt-pub=19770125 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Ozone and Chlorine in Wastewater Disinfection en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, we compare ozone with chlorine regarding following respects; (1)Disinfection efficiency (2)Oxidation power (3)Effects of secondary effluents treated by ozone or chlorine on aerobic microorganisms. Both ozone and chlorine are powerfull oxidizing agents. However,those are greatly different from each other in effects of treatment. Ozone is superior to chlorine in oxidation of organics, perfection of disinfection and effects on aerobic microorganisms. On the other hand, chlorine is superior in disinfection of Coliform group bacteria. Based on these results,it may be concluded that chlorination will be effective in disinfection of effluents which do not contain so much contaminants. However in case of rather highly cotaminated effluents, ozonation will be suitable. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KawaraOsami kn-aut-sei=Kawara kn-aut-mei=Osami aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering,School of Engineering Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=15 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=147 end-page=164 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1981 dt-pub=19810330 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Hydraulics and Water Quality in Kojima Bay en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, characteristics of hydraulics and water quality in Kojima Bay are discussed based on field observations. The main results obtained are as follows. (1) The variation of flow rate in Kojima Bay has periods for 30 minutes to 2 hours. This characteristic is represented by a two-dimensional numerical simulation fairly well. (2) The local distributions of salinity and suspended solids show increase in the direction to the mouth of Kojima Bay. On the other hand, the distribution of COD(Mn) is nearly uniform in the whole area of the bay. Salinity appears to be influenced by river discharge sensitively but suspended solids does not. (3) The vertical distributions of salinity and suspended solids are similar. There are similar points between the cross-sectional average of water quality and surface water quality. (4) The surface water quality seems to be influenced by the variation of velocity. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NagoHiroshi kn-aut-sei=Nago kn-aut-mei=Hiroshi aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KawaraOsami kn-aut-sei=Kawara kn-aut-mei=Osami aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=21 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=9 end-page=19 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1987 dt-pub=19870305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Influence of Sewage Treatment System on Water Quality in Kojima Lake en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This study dealt with the characteristics of hydrodynamics of Kojima Lake and the influence of a regional sewage treatment system in construction on the lake.
