		History of Tama County Chaper II Nowhere in the great State of Iowa is Tama county surpassed for its beautiful scenery; its rolling prairies interspersed and diversified with natural and domestic groves; its meandering streams and its carpet of flowers and verdure.
		Tama county lies nearly in the center of the State, being five counties from the east, north, and south State lines and seven from the west.
		So small a portion of Tama county is occupied by the coal measures that it is scarcely worth while to mention it, though coal deposits have been found in the northern part of the county, and it is not improbable that other discoveries of it may yet be made in other portions.

	Development of the Model for Detailed Estimation for Exposure Concentration of Chemicals in River Basin
		Particularly, the information of exposure concentration of chemical substances with toxicity to aquatic organisms in river basin is not adequately known because of limited number of observation sites and sampling periods, and it is often very difficult to assess their impacts to the ecological system.
		In fiscal 2002, the development of river basin exposure analysis model taking into consideration of emission, river flow rate, sewerage, land use and other geographical data was started, and river basin exposure analysis models for the Tama River Basin, the Kanto Plain and the Yodogawa River Basin were developed.
		The SHANEL is a dynamic analysis model with mass transfer mechanism, such as desorption to suspended solids in river water, adsorption to soil, settling and resuspension of suspended solids between the river water and sediment, which enable to estimate exposure concentrations of chemicals readily accumulated in river sediment and soil.

		The Tama River flows into Tokyo Bay after passing through 30 municipalities (combined population: 4.25 million) in Yamanashi, Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures, and is one of the major rivers that supports the giant megalopolis encompassing Tokyo, Japan's capital city.
		During the 1970s, sewage system development failed to keep pace with rapid residential development along the Tama River, and a large amount of domestic waste water was discharged directly into the river, which was covered with so much white foam in some places that high winds would blow foam into nearby residential neighborhoods.
		Tokyu's base of operations is along the Tama River, and in 1974 the company established the Tokyu Foundation for Better Environment to help improve the river basin environment.

		The writer says that Tama-chan is destroying the ecological balance in the rivers of the Kanto area, so I think, then, we can remove her from the river to protect the creatures of the river.
		She has no reason to live in the river of Japan and I think she'd rather live in the sea where is more comfortable to her.
		The river where she is living now is perhaps very dirty like the former river Tama-river so she has no reason to live there.

		It was the latest twist in the saga of Tama-chan, a bearded seal that became the country’s newest celebrity when he showed up in the Tama River last August, more than a thousand kilometers (miles) from his Arctic habitat.

		The group filed a notice with Yokohama’s river management office saying it planned to send four divers to conduct environmental research on the river habitat, Saito said.
