Abstract
The natural environment of cities can be understood based both on present and past natural environments, as well as the formation process of present situation. And, we will reconstruct historical water environment in the city. Historical reconstruction of water environment focuses on historical data, such as old documents, old maps, art pictures and photographs.
The general water environment of the city would be clarified not only by water quality and loading amount in the river, but also by volume of water and water level in ground water. From this viewpoint, I reported on well and its use for the historical reconstruction of water environment. I have focuses on the descriptions and landscape in this research in Tokyo (Edo).
