Current studies include: (1) research regarding how an emergency water supply system should be\r\nstructured, and how water should be stored hygienically so that even when a major earthquake or heavy\r\nrainfall has occurred, medical services provided by hospitals that serve as bases in case of disaster, along\r\nwith other services such as dialysis providers, won&#8217;t be aff ected; (2) research on developing measures (and\r\nmonitoring methods) to reduce radioactive substances in the water supply when there has been an accident\r\ninvolving a nuclear plant; (3) research on watershed management, assessing health risks from drinking water\r\ncontaminated with chemical substances or microbes; (4) research on developing a new water treatment\r\ntechniques; and (5) research on developing an integrated water quality management plan that covers the\r\nwhole system from the water source to the individual outlet. With all those eff orts, we are contributing to the\r\ngovernment&#8217;s decision-making process regarding both administrative standards and technical guidelines for\r\nwater supplies.<br>\r\nAlso, as the WHO Collaborating Center for Community Water Supply and Sanitation, we are making eff orts\r\nto improve water and hygiene in developing countries. Finally, we are playing a major role as the coordinator\r\nof the WHO Operation and Maintenance Network (O &amp; M Network) for Drinking Water Supply Facilities in\r\ncollaboration with the International Water Association (IWA).<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/soshiki\/04toukatsu\/images\/area07.jpg\" alt=\"Water Management\" width=\"664\" height=\"206\" style=\"max-width:664px; width:100%; height:auto;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><!--main end-->\r\n<\/div><!--col end-->\r\n<!------[myphp file='menu-en-footer']------->\r\n<\/div><!--row end-->\r\n<\/div><!------- container-fluid end -------->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Departments &nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Managing Director&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Area on Wat &hellip; <p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/en\/soshiki-en\/04toukatsu-en\/area07-en\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Area on Water Management&#8221; \u306e<\/span>\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1568,"menu_order":198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2123"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4457,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2123\/revisions\/4457"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
