Observation results of groundwater level and ground contraction
Last update date May 22, 2023
The Institute of Environmental Science observes the groundwater level and ground contraction in the city.
On this page, we will inform you of the observation results.
Ground water level and ground shrinkage observed at the Institute of Environmental Science
The Institute of Environmental Science observes groundwater levels at 10 groundwater observation wells in the city to prevent land subsidence in soft ground areas. In addition, ground variations are observed at seven of these sites.
Survey point
The survey points are as shown in the figure below.

- Deduction of observation data for March of the previous year and March of the observation year (in the case of missing, the previous observation value)
- The negative (-) of ground fluctuation indicates contraction. Variable value for the current fiscal year, when the end of the previous fiscal year was set to zero.
