NBC Spring Water Protection Club
A group of fresh-water springs in the west and the north of NBC
headquarters (Hino, Tokyo) (called were "Fresh-water springs around the
Hino Central Library ") included among the "Top 57 springs in Tokyo" in
January 2003. The springs produce approximately 14.5 liters/s at a rate of
23.3 ms/m. The average water temperature is 17.3° C, and the temperature
does not fluctuate significantly. The springs abound with nature: they are
the habitat of river crabs and conches named "kawanina", which can
live
only in a clear stream. During the summer, fireflies, which are very rare
in Tokyo these days, can be seen.
Since the company's foundation, we have been working in the rich natural
surroundings of Musashino, a suburb of Tokyo. To protect the natural
sanctuary that our ancestors conserved, we have formed the "NBC Spring
Water Protection Club." In cooperation with the people of the community,
we
help to clean the springs and streams.
