What do you think about Dam construction? Do you agree or disagree? Tell me your opinion.
This was the subject we got at this program. Dam construction is a great problem that has been becoming more and more serious. Nowadays those living where Dam is planned to constructed is opposed to Dam construction, so Dam construction has not been accomplished yet. I didn't know much about Dam construction, but through this program I considered so much about this problem.
First we took lessons about "Geography for River" and "Physics and Ecology for River" for two hours. The former one was to learn faults around rivers all over Japan. I was surprised to learn faults have much to do with rivers. The latter one was to learn living things in rivers. Also we learned shapes of stones in the river by considering the power of friction. It was sometimes beyond my description because it came to physics of the university. But the teacher's lessons were so intelligible and interesting that I could have a good time.
Second we saw some experiments to study the conditions of curves of the river which was carried out by graduate students. There were many things I had never seen such as prediction by calculation with a computer. Now I had also been carrying out some experiments of physics in Urawa high school, but this one was much more complex and difficult.
Third we discussed the idea about Dam construction that I had researched beforehand with other students. The opinion of our group was for Dam construction. The reason was to overcome a problem of shortage of water, and to prepare for typhoons which are predicted to come in the future. To be sure, there are some contrary opinions such as we need a lot of money or it has a bad influences to inhabitants and the environment, the predicted typhoons is supposed to do a great damage to a metropolitan area. Not to recur to a tragedy such as the Great East Japan Earthquake, we thought to construct Dam just in case.
At last we searched around the Ara Kawa River. There we saw a lot of structure which is concerned with the Ara Kawa River, for example a well in a park and houses whose floors were a little higher than the height of ground in order to be safe when the flood would occurred.
Through this program I got a lot of knowledge of physics and geography of rivers, and with which I learned to consider about Dam construction. The problem of Dam construction is just one of those which is being occurred all over the world. I think I will face much more problems in the future, so by making use of what I experienced at this program, I want to be able to contribute to the world a little.
八ッ場ダム建設についてどう思いますか?賛成ですか、それとも反対ですか?あなたの考えを聞かせてください。
これがこのボーイングプログラムで私達に課された議題です。今日八ッ場ダム建設をめぐる争いは深刻化しています。また、八ッ場ダム建設予定の地に住む住民の反対活動が活発となっているため、ダム建設は未だ完遂されていません。そのような八ッ場ダム建設をめぐる問題について私はあまり知りませんでしたが、このプログラムを通して八ッ場ダム建設の問題を深く考えることとなりました。
初めに私達は「河川にかかわる地理」と「河川にかかわる物理・生物」の授業を二時間受けました。前者は日本中の川の周辺にある断層についての授業でした。私は断層が川と密接に関係していることを知って驚きました。後者は川に住む生物についての授業でした。また、私達は摩擦力を考慮することによって川に転がっている石の形状も学びました。その授業は大学の物理の範囲にまで発展していたので、時折私の理解を超えるものもありましたが、授業は分かりやすく興味がわくものだったのでとても楽しめました。
次に私達は大学院生によって行われた川のカーブの条件を研究する実験を見学しました。コンピューターを用いて予測演算するなど目新しいものばかりでした。私も現在浦和高校で物理実験をいくつかしていますが、今回見た物理実験はより複雑で難しいものでした。
その後、私達は他の学生達と共にダム建設について議論しました。私達のグループが出した答えは賛成です。理由はまず渇水問題を克服するため、そして将来来ると予想される台風に備えるためです。確かに膨大な資金が必要、環境や住民に悪影響を及ぼすなどの反対意見もありますが、予想されている台風は首都圏に膨大な被害をもたらすと考えられています。東日本大震災のような悲劇を繰り返さないため、念のためでもダムを作るべきだというのが私達が出した答えです。
最後に私達は荒川周辺を探索しました。そこでは公園の中にある井戸や、洪水に備えるために地面よりも少し床が高い家などの多くの荒川に関連している建造物を見学しました。
このプログラムを通して川についての物理・地理の知識をたくさん得たと共に、それを元にダム建設について深く考えるよい機会になりました。ダム建設をめぐる問題は日本中、世界中で起こっている問題の内のたった一つです。今後、より多くの問題に直面することがあると思うので今回学んだことを生かして少しでも世界に貢献できたらと思います。
