ABSTRACT
In Kyoto, the underground water has been used for daily life for a long time, such as making tofu and dyeing kimono. Kyoto has a typical groundwater basin where there are three main rivers; Uji River, Kizu River and Katsura River. These rivers flow into the area between Tennou-zan and Otoko-yama mountains, then flow out to Osaka. For this reason, Kyoto basin saves enough underground water. Due to the fact that the underground water in Kyoto basin flows out from this point only, it is estimated that abundant underground water is saved.
