Let’s make Horikawa River Limpid
The records of the activities of Horikawa Sen-nin Chosatai 2010

From secretariat　　　 September 27th,2014 We held the 15th HSC conference on September 27th, 2014. Around 100 people, citizens and local government staffs attended this conference. The special feature of 15th civil surveys is Horikawa River's color, such as the big red tide occurred in April, or the cloudy water state often seen from May to June. So, We had the experimentation to replicate the cloudy water state in this meeting. According civil survey reports, Horikawa River water quality, which worsened once because of the stop of TRWKR, has been improved little by little by Nagoya city's measures implemented after the stop of TRWKR in March 2010. Nagoya city give the report of the experimentation of the measure to Sludge between Gojobashi Bridge and Nakabashi Bridge. This measure will be installed this fiscal year. Participants had some requests to Nagoya city, like "Place that experiment's signboard to understand easily on the spot" or "Use mass media to spread the information to public". Finally, they will keep civil eye on the proceeding in one or two years with coordination and cooperation with Nagoya city. Besides, Daido Univ. survey group reports the water quality improvement test with high concentrated oxygen near Ukishimabashi Bridge on Shinhorikawa river. This meeting focused on H2S which is the causing factor of worsening warer quarity and bad smell in both Horikawa river's report and Shinhorikawa river's. HSC meeting becomes more and more substitutional one through 15 times. These large scale, over 7 years and steady civil survey activities, which has kept activities without shrinking scale, cooperated with government and had a lot of meaningful results, is seems to be unlike any other in Japan. We hope that all participants in HSC keep in touch and have a proud and a confidence of your participating.
