Each evening from 26 August to 7 September 2011, MLIT Takeo River Office organized the session for people to discuss Rokkakugawa River Basin Plan (Draft). According to the River Law revised in 1997 below, the river improvement plan is divided into two parts: one dealing with matters thought of as the basis for river improvement (Basic river management policy) and the other dealing with specifics concerning river improvement (River improvement plan). For the Rokkakugawa River basin, the basic river management policy was established in 2009. Based on this policy, the river improvement plan, called Rokkakugawa River Basin Plan has been drafted and now is in the process of public comments since 11 August 2011. During this period, nine sessions were organized. There were about 380 people in total for nine sessions. The deadline of public comment is 16 September 2011 either through email, mail, facsimile, MLIT homepage or post-boxes in the local community offices.
