Communication with the community through environmental protection activities"NBC Meshtec Spring Watar 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.
