• Tedori river alluvial fan areas
• Water balance
• Effluent water
• Recharge water
• Runoff analysis

Water balance in the Tedori River alluvial fan areas was analyzed for all components of the hydrological cycle based on exchange of the channel/soil surface and aquifer horizon fractions with river water. The results were summarized on an annual basis, as well as for the irrigation and non-irrigation periods. The study area received 6.28 mm/day of precipitation and had an outflow of 2.32 mm/day as direct runoff, resulting in 3.96 mm/day of water being supplied to the soil surface. The channel/soil horizon fraction received this 3.96 mm/day, as well as 9.12 mm/day intake water from the head works. Conversely, 2.74 and 2.85 mm/day were lost by evapotranspiration and percolation, respectively. Thus, surface runoff of 7.49 mm/day flowed from the study area to the Sea of Japan or drainage canals near the river mouth. In the aquifer horizon fraction, 2.85 mm/day of water was supplied from the channel/soil horizon fraction and 2.15 mm/day was supplied from the Tedori River, while 1.73 mm/day was extracted by groundwater. Thus, 3.27 mm/day of groundwater flowed out to the Sea of Japan or into downstream drainage canals. An outline of the water balance of the irrigation and non-irrigation period is also shown. Because various hydrological components are closely related to each other, planning and management of water resources for individual goals are not adequate, but require the integrated aspect of water balance for sustainable water use.
