River restoration is a new technology compared with flood control

and water utilization.
Applicable technologies are required based on accumulated
experiences and knowledge.
Asia Monsoon region has specific characteristics.

Rapid concentration of the population into urban areas
Discussion between countries/regions in similar geological

Measures to promote River Restoration in Asia
Summary of Discussion in the Session on WWF4

River restoration is of vital importance to socio-economic sustainable
development in parallel with flood and water use management.
Basin is a basic unit for river environment management.
Establishing suitable methodological technology for river restoration that
suit for Asian monsoon region is necessary.
In Asia monsoon region, human-influence to a cultural landscape is
harmonized with the ecosystem traditionally.
It is important to develop a database of projects and knowledge of
international experts in river restoration, and this activity should be
supported by engineers, scientists, ecologists, managers and public.
It is urgent to establish a river restoration guideline suitable for the Asian
monsoon region for countries with similar social and natural conditions.
