Construction Of The Furukawa Reservoir As Tokyo Takes Flood Control Underground

A shaft connects the overflow weir to the underground Furukawa reservoir under construction in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014. The underground regulating reservoir tunnel is 3.3km long and its bore is 7.5m. When it's completed in 2016, the 3.3-kilometer (2-mile) reservoir will be able to handle 135,000 cubic meters of water, enough to fill 54 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
