The purpose of this project is to restore the habitat of Ryukyu-ayu, which is extinct in the wild in Okinawa Main Island. The removal of drop structure and the restoration of pool by withdrawing the river bank were conducted to prevent the water leak as subsoil water and revive the structure of riffle and pool. The restoration for fish habitat was indicated by the results of investigation on fish and riverbed forms. These river improvements were evaluated in terms of bed deformation using numerical simulation. The results of numerical simulation indicate that the removal of drop structure induces the change of the longitudinal profile into original one, and the restored pool maintains the function as a pool over the next ten years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
