Water

Warming in Japan

Japan is basically an island, it is surrounded by bodies of water around it. Any piece of land that has such large amounts of water has definitely endured climate change. Japan is definitely a great representation of this. Japan is getting warmer every year and that is from many extraneous sources that we will be describing in future posts.

Another large role that water plays in Japan's environment is the hydro power that they collect from the rice irrigation systems.They are looking for many new innovative methods of collecting energy for the nation. Japan is one of the largest hydroelectric nations in the world. They are continuously opening hydro power plants that appear as water dams.
