This project is a result of Mayor Kotoku Wamura of Fudai, Japan. In 1972 he funded the construction of a 15.5-meter-high floodgate and seawall, costing about $23.16 million. He received much backlash and ridicule from the residents saying it was a waste of money and too big for a small town. It was completed in 1984 and Wamura retired in 1987. He later died in 1997 before he could witness the structures protect his town of Fudai from the 2011 tsunami and earthquake that devastated surrounding neighboring areas. The disaster resulted in approximately 19,747 deaths, with over 2,500 people still missing. Everyone in the town of Fudai was completely safe.
Brilliant Japanese innovation. Implementing this in US will be too expensive and not approved as this would mean less money for weapons of destruction .
the u.s doesn't have many cities that floods at the level of tokyo, we have new orleans which is a similar bowl and huston, other than that our climate in the states is far more forgiving than the crazy stuff japan has to deal with.
Have you traveled all of the US. I have visited 36 states. A lot of our cities flood. I live in a city on the east coast that floods consistently. I have been to other cities that flood constantly as well. A lot in Florida, SC, NC and NY to name just a few.
Tokyo is a rich city and produces a large surplus every year. The government takes the surplus from Tokyo and distributes it to other cities. So, rather than take it away from Tokyo, Tokyo is promoting projects like this one.
Can we just introduce a turbine structure inside the tunnels? its like hydropower plant. so in a way we can use the water tunnels for energy production... maybe they can plan, so the tunnels will be useful for other purposes other than just being empty when not needed
DEEP Tunnel Sewage System.. DTSS, Singapore has been doing this also.. to route high volume of rain fall waters into underground Large Storage "Tanks" and route them to the Sea.
I'm surprised after the brilliance of designing the tunnels that they aren't using the water for power. use the flowing water to turn turbines to use\store the energy for later use or adding simple steam power from siphoning off some water and boiling it and capturing the steam for other turbines.
Philippines' BGC area in Taguig City (Metro Manila) has adapted a similar flood-control tunneling / silos. More Metro Manila cities (local gvt units) should folllow too.
it's not the local government of Taguig made/funded those btw, it's actually BCDA who developed that land and create similar flood-control tunneling. So again don't give credit to those LGU of Taguig who didn't funded those development in BGC, The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Office of the President of the Philippines.
@@inosukehashibara5930 I did not exactly say that the city of Taguig funded the project. I just simply pointed out where particularly the cistern / storing of flood water has been adapted.
Chicago literally has the same thing and its even bigger, but racism is sso much then knowing what you talking about

It's not so much changing climate, which is up for debate, as ever increasing urbanization in already flood prone areas without increasing infrastructure at the levels needed continuously.
5:36 The environmentalist, "What about the possible contamination water being pump back into the river?" You mean the water that won't have trash and other debris from not washing into the city ?
We already have this in BGC just look it up on Google or just search it on UA-cam and you will saw some reports from media outlets as well. It's a huge silo's beneath BGC it collects rainwater before it discharge to the Pasig river.
Bssed on this video I learned (at 57 seconds in) that at the time of the 1991 Tokyo floods everyone in Tokyo was cycling or using 1930s or 1940s cars. Am I just nitpicking?
Aussie is and always has been a country of floods, fires and droughts. It would be useful for fresh water storage though but the magnitude is far beyond the electoral cycle.
While the topic is important and interesting, your yapping doesn't do it justice. Of the 10 minutes, at most 5 were actual information and even of those, half wasn't about the topic of the video.
Here in the Philippines, our current government under Marcos has built multi-billion-dollar flood control projects, BUT we still experience the worst floods every typhoon!
Sheer stupidity of UA-camrs. If the "solution" is water management through reservoirs and canal systems tailored to the unique characteristics of a location then Tokyo System is not the refrence point (as emphasized here). Water management is being done for thousands of years. The costs involved with entirely "grey" infrastructure are very high. A combination of green (wetland restoration/creation) with grey/mechanical infra is more suitable. Finally, not evey region is going to be able to afford such interventions, hence Relocation (Just Relocation) should be planned.
Great ingenuity to solve flood problems! Wow, Japan!
Vietnam needs this lol 😀

thats interesting thanks
idk if it was true, but several info from internet say so. interesting story but sad
This is the kind of thing Houston and New Orleans could benefit from.
And to take this a step further imagine creating diversion and pump stations to move water to drought areas to keep crops and farming solid.
Good japan has bless the world with their automobile industries
Looks like a nice water temple for zelda, link and super mario to have an adventure in

They are great thinkers and problem solvers!
Nevermind most mega cities already do this and this is really really old technology, did you know Chicago has been digging theirs since the 70's?
alright we get it america is the best blah blah blah
Doing since 70s but nothing significant completed 😂😂😂
@motherearth667 that doesn't mean they aren't still building it, you should actually learn about it first.
@@motherearth667 fr
@@tylerdurden4006 lmao they are still building it since the 70s? Are they gonna compete with La Sagrada Familia for longest ongoing construction?😂
South Texas USA can use this innovation too! It's a great news, Great problem solver!
Imagine 5000 years later, a new wave of civilization sees this and think it's for ritualistic purposes for Japanese indigenous people.

no. because these tunnels are only used during an emergency event which is every so many years. turbine powerplants require consistent flows.
DEEP Tunnel Sewage System.. DTSS, Singapore has been doing this also.. to route high volume of rain fall waters into underground Large Storage "Tanks" and route them to the Sea.
I saw this and Immediately thought Jet Set Radio. God i thought those levels were impossible and here we are Japan again.
Literally the exact same video I've already seen years ago. Word for word...
Only real OGs remember mirrors edge when you’re doing parkour in the dam 😂😂

Never say Never. One day the water can overwhelm the system.
Europe should do somthing like Japan make flood prevention.
PH needs this
What kind of Turbines are Used ? Are they Air Craft Jet Engines Used ?
North carolina needs one of these.
So beautiful 😍
East coast in the US needs this lol
che spettacolo...

If you just put "Charleston, South carolina" instead of Tokyo this would all still fit
Philippines should do this
Looks like the area where Meruem and Netero fought.
nice

its just a storage and doesnt flow out somewehere.what we need are outflow systems. our gov should ask japanese gov for help on this

1991 shows footage from like 1930
I wonder if you can utilize this for hydroelectric production. Turning tragedy into productive power. Just a thought.
Vacuume eart from the sea and pump it to land and build the land higher.
this system doesnt save Japan on 2011 , there is a footage showing how fast they got full and did nothing compared to this tsunami

Yes.
