Tokyo, July 16 (ANI): Major cities in the world are facing flood related problems during the rainy reason. In Asia, the situation is grim, especially in developing countries like India. Japan’s capital Tokyo, which witnesses an average rainfall of 1700 mm annually, has overcome this problem by developing underground regulating reservoirs and diversion channels. In the past, riverbanks and sewers in the city would often overflow during typhoons or rainstorms, causing roads and homes to be flooded. In 2007, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government completed the construction of the Kanda River Underground Regulating Reservoir at a cost of 11.3 billion Yen. The diversion tunnel built underground temporarily store excess water from the river channel.
