A massive flood struck the Chao Phraya River Basin in Thailand from August to December in 2011. The total fl ood volume was estimated to be 15 billion m 3 , and the area of damaged agricultural land was as large as the Kanto Plain. To understand the planar and temporal characteristics of water quality of fl oodwater along with the fl ow, the authors conducted a fi eld survey of the fl ood from Chai Nat, Ayutthaya to Bangkok in November and December. The results show that some indices were higher in the southern area from Ayutthaya and that the effect of the fi rst fl ash was observed in an area where inundation had started a few days earlier in Bangkok. E. coli was detected in the Chao Phraya River in inundated Ayutthaya in November, suggesting that human excrement fl owed into fl oodwater. However, it was not detected in December there, suggesting that the infl ow of human excrement stopped owing to the extinction of the inundated area.

Journal of The Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture
Biwako Waterway, completed in 1890, includes the Ebisugawa Berth which possessed the largest rectangular area along it and had been originally used as landing stage or moorage for shipping. On the other hand, new use, such as swimming pool had been added to this facility and kept intensive connection with surrounding communities. Especially, the function as swimming training school starting in 1896 made significant influence to the development of swimming culture locally and nationwide. This study attempts to manifest the transition of its reuse as swimming training pool through the analysis of local historical documents, newspaper articles, and hearing survey to relating organization, such as Tousuikai or home for the aged. As conclusion, it was found out that they took advantage of rectangular surface of water formed by shipping function, and had developed Ebisugawa Berth as place for human activities, which succeeded to obtain high social status as one of the most prestigious swimming pool where national swimming meet was held and visited by Japan's royal families, and also had been enjoyed by local children in elementary schools as popular swimming pool after the war.
