The purpose of this paper is to consider what modern open levee brought the upper basin inhabitants simultaneously pursuing environmental conservation and flood control by a case study approach. It deals with Kasumitei upstream of Kitakawa River in Miyazaki Prefecture, and focuses on farmers in the upper basin regarded as reservoir in the management strategy. They utilize Kitakawa River for agricultural use, and suffer from flood almost every year because of the open levees. The levees were re-constructed in modern management strategy by a national government. The following findings of hearing investigation and literature searching are obtained: the open levees in the area had brought people a new sense of distinction of upper basin (reservoir) and lower basin (beneficiary), and the consciousness of unfairness was understood by the people in another context of declining agriculture versus other remunerative industries. It must be noted that the context has brought people to claim compensation not only for their flood damage but also for their continuing agriculture in the upper basin. It remains to be solved how to build consensus including upper basin area, and how to further strengthen the collaboration with relevant ministries in watershed management toward a consecutive implementation of an effective policy. Key words : Kasumitei (open levee), reservoir, watershed management, consensus building
