We have coined the Japanese word "suiso," literally "water-features" in Japaness, to denote the water utilization in a given period in combination with the social changes of the same period. This paper explores this term by using the Yashio city area, which lies along the Naka River, a branch of the old Tone River in Saitama prefecture, as a case study. As is true everywhere, the installing of new water utilization sytems for example, the laying and management of water and swer lines results in enhancing the conveniences of life for the residnets of given district or area. On the other side of the coin, however, the direct and diverse ties that once existed between the local residents and the area's water supply have come to be lost, and reduced, as it were, to a pecuniary, money equation. As a consequence, everything is now left to the water department. This has resulted in structurally destroying the links local reidents traditionally had vis-a-vis their rivers, water facilities, and river water. Thus the relation between local residents and their water has been transformed into a one-sided connection the very opposite of what used to be a multiphased relationship. It remains to be seen whether inhabitants of local communities will take the initiative in safeguarding and sustaining their water supply.
