Yamaji area is situated on the right side at the distances of 5.56.5 km from the estuary of Watari
River which is discharged into Tosa Bay. And it is small paddy fieldwith about 13 ha. area.
few years ago, Yamaji River streamed along the south side of thisarea. but now it was digged
and enlarged for increasing the discharge of Nakasuji River and it was drived to Sanezaki of A'atrai
River. Recently, tomato and cucumber in this area have been caltivatedingreen house about same
areas (1. 8 hci).
The aquifer in this area became contaminated with saltwater during January and February of 1970
and saltinjury occured. And so, to examine causes an investigation was done by Nakamura office
of ministry of Construction.
In this paper, authers obtained the{ollov/ing results by analyzing thesdata, (a) salt water intrudes
inland through the confined aquifer from Watari River, and (b) the fluctuationof piezometric head
responds to changes in Nakasuji water level with tides. (c) Salt water intrusion has been accentuated
by overpumping due to irrigation.
