For more than 50 years, we have contributed to Japan’s initiatives in flood control, disaster prevention, and disaster risk reduction.
This section introduces our main business activities and the initiatives we are striving toward for the future.
Since its founding more than half a century ago, Takuwa has been developing water level gauges.
When rivers rise or flood, water level data plays a key role in deciding whether local residents need to evacuate. Even under normal conditions, water level is an important piece of basic information for determining the position and elevation of river structures such as weirs and levees within a river basin. Water level information is used for precisely calculating water balances for domestic water use and for guiding planned water releases during typhoons and heavy rain.
Takuwa holds a domestic market share of over 60% in water level gauges. This reflects the technology and quality that Takuwa has developed over the past fifty years, earning the trust of national and local governments.

Water, the most fundamental and vital element of the Earth’s environment, does not exist only in oceans and rivers. From groundwater to snow, glaciers, and water vapor in the atmosphere, water forms the very environment that surrounds us, and understanding this water is important for fostering coexistence between people and water. Building on the technology developed through water level gauges, Takuwa is also working on the development of technologies to better understand various types of water integrated into the environment.

These devices contribute to stabilizing people’s lives within the cycle of water, playing an essential role in both flood control and water utilization, while supporting industries that form the backbone of daily life.
