1. Introduction
Because the temperature of water and soil directly effects the growth of crops, it is important to know the temperature of water, including shallow groundwater, as well as to know their quantity.
Therefore a lot of investigations have been undertaken by many concerning this problem. Some have trid to construct an equation to calculate the values of soil temperature. For example, AZUMA ( 5 ) con-
structed a linear equation to calculate the yearly average temperature of soil from the yearly average air temperature.
What we have tried here, however, is to construct a linear equation by calculating the values of shallow groundwater temperature (S.G.T) near the water table from air temperature for a given area for a given month.
The paper presented here shows the results of our efforts. This is the 12th report of "The shallow groundwater in the downstream basin of the Aya River, Kagawa Prefecture".
2. Theory
When we plotted the values of the shallow groundwater temperature (S.G.T.) near the water table or
eg
(OC) (y-axis) against the observed values of the air temperature (A.T,) or Oa (Oc) (x-axis) at the area where the values of S.G.T. were observed, we obtained the closed lines showing the Og - Ba relationship as shown in Fig. 1.These closed lines told us that we could not use the straight lines (the linear equations) to show the
Og
-
Oa relationship if we wanted to construct an equation to show this relationship.However, if we could find the linear relationship between Og and Oa shown in Fig. 1, we could con- struct a linear equation (simple and most practical) to show the Bg
-
Oa relationship.Therefore, to obtain the linear equations, we divided a year (12 months) (Fig.1) into three periods I, I1 and 111.
They were:
Period I = four months-January to April; Pe~iod I1 = three months-May to July; and Period I11 = five months-August to December.

and for Ar, (open circles) during 1965 (top figure), 1966 (middle figure) and 1967 (bottom figure). J represents January, F, February and so on
Through this method, the relationship between Og and t'a during each period seemed to be roughly a linear relationship as shown by the straight lines in Figs.3, 4, 5 and 6.
Therefore, for period I, we constructed Eq. (1) to show the 0,

(6) 3. DataThe values of 0, were the arithmetic mean of the field data obtained from 51 observation wells (crosses in Fig.2). We referred to these values as the average values of Bg of the regions AR and AL on the day that observations were made. The field data was obtained from the shallow groundwater investigations that we have been carrying out ever since July 1964 by using 51 wells in the downstream basin of the Aya River, Kagawa Prefecture ( 1 7 2, 3 > 4> 6) (Fig.2).

For the data showing 0ah and Bal, we used the data reported by the HAYASHIDA (WEATHER STAIION) (7)
(solid circle in Fig.2).
The values of Bg and Ba were shown by the solid circles for AR and the open circles for AL for 1965 (top figure), 1966 (middle figure) and 1967 (bottom figure) in Fig.1.
4. Results and Discussion
Using Eqs.(4), (5) and (6), we calculated the values of the coefficients (I, m and n) and the constants (6, c and d), and the results were listed in Table 1.

m = 0.60249, c = 3.7492; and n = 0.300, d = 12 942 (Table I), we constructed Eqs. (8), (9) and (10) respectively.

(31)Using Eq.(8), we calculated the values of Og for period I and obtained the straight line I as shown in Fig.3(A~). This line showed the calculated values of Og for AR for period I in 1965. The open circles on the line are the calculated values of Bg corresponding to the observed ones shown by the solid circles.
Using Eq.(9), we obtained the straight line I1 as shown in Fig.3 (AR). This line showed the observed values of Og for AR for period I1 in 1965. Using Eq.(lO), we also obtained the straight line 111 as shown in Fig.3(A~). This line also showed the calculated values of 0, for AR for period I11 in 1965. For AL for periods I, I1 and I11 in 1965(using Eqs.(ll), (12) and (13) )we drew up the straight lines I, 11 and 111
respectively as shown in Fig.3(A~).

In like manner, for the three periods in 1966, we drew up the three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.4(A~)) by using Eqs.(l4), (15) and (16) for AR; the three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.4 (AL)) by using Eqs.(l7), (18) and (19) for AL.

For the year 1967, we also drew up three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.5(A~)) by using Eqs.(20), (21) and (22) for AR; and the three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.5(A~)) by using Eqs.(23), (24) and (25) for AL.

To show the average of the three years, we again drew up three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.6(A~)) by using Eqs.(26), (27) and (28) for AR; and the three straight lines I, I1 and I11 (Fig.6(A~)) by using Eqs. (29), (30) and (31) for AL.
From the graphs shown in Figs.3, 4, 5 and 6, the calculated values of 0, (open circles) are seen to be close to the observed values (solid circles).

5. Summary
In order to construct a simple and practical equation calculating the shallow groundwater temperature (S G.T. or 0, ("c)) near the water table in the paddy fields from the air temperature (A.T. or Ba ) in the same area, we analysed the data of S.G.T. that was obtained from our field investigations. The results obtained were as follows;
1) We found that the 0,
-
Ba relationship could be expressed by three straight lines (or linear equa- tions) when a year (12 months) was divided into three periods- -
I, I1 and I11 (Figs.3,4, 5 and 6).2) To show the three straight lines, I, I1 and 111, we constructed Eqs.(l), (2) and (3) respectively, and calculated the coefficients and constants of Eqs.(l), (2) and (3) by using the method of least squares (Eqs. (4), (5) and (6)). The results were listed in Table 1.
3) From the values listed in Table 1, we constructed Eqs.(8) thru (31) for purpose of calculating the val- ues of Og from Ba for AR and AL for every month during 1965, 1966 and 1967; and for the average of the three years from 1965 to 1967.
4) The calculated values of Og (using Eqs"(8) thru (31)) were close to the observed values (Figs.3,4, 5 and 6). The deviation of the calculated values from the observed ones calculated by using Eq. (32) was only a few per cent in yearly average values.
5) Therefore, Eqs (8) thru (31) are adequate to use in calculating the values of S.G.T. (8,) from the values of A.T. (Oa ) for the study area for the periods. Thus, the original linear equations Eqs.(l), (2) and (3) with Eqs.(4), (5) and (6) can be used to show the relationship between Bg and Ba for a given area for a given period if the 0, - 0a relationship becomes the linear relationship.
