The Four Rivers Restoration Project is the cure for wounded rivers

Every summer monsoon comes; repeated inundation and flood damages come to us without fail, making flood sufferers here and there.

Inundated flood, farmlands lost, swept cattle, houses, and familiar household goods. Despite we see that familiar scenary on TV or with own eyes, why couldn't we establish firm and fundamental countermeasure for water disaster. That hope was not only with me alone, I suppose. Securing sufficient water resource to prepare water shortage and drought to prevent flood disaster, our next generation's security depends on how we overcome and establish stability for them.

The project is surely the cure for reviving the rivers, I am convinced of. Free from the concern for drought and flood, it will relieve water shortage problem in 21st century as total revitalization project. My decision will meet the future rinterpretation for this project.
