The reservoir has helped reduce the number of homes affected by water damage in nearby areas by around 90% the surge tank is actually used as a tourist attraction Visitors can tour the site for about 3000 Japanese Yen While any jet-hopping civil engineer might be bursting to take a trip and see this underground marvel it should be noted that the tours are only conducted in Japanese it’s natural to wonder what the city did before they built the Kasukabe Reservoir How did a bustling town survive seasonal catastrophic flooding the infrastructure was sparse enough that the floods weren’t considered to be a major issue much of the region’s farmland had been replaced with housing and industrial facilities significantly decreasing the opportunity for rainfall and snowmelt to seep underground When the suburbs of Tokyo were initially being developed, the sprawl occurred so fast that little thought was given to flood control. However, the city soon learned its lesson as it suffered numerous catastrophic floods As the population grew and more and more of the ground was covered with non-porous concrete engineers knew that something had to be done to remedy the situation 1992 marked the beginning of the fightback against catastrophic flooding in the region due to the construction of the outer underground discharge channel tunnels This massive system works through a system of switches that engineers can control during high rain or flooding events. Due to the series of tunnels that run throughout the city, connected to the underground reservoir, engineers can direct nearly all of the drainage from the city into the 5 large silo storage tanks The end goal of the system isn’t just to hold water though. In flooding events that have a rapid onset, the first task of mitigating the flooding risk is handling the surge. The underground reservoirs are built so large in order to handle large volumes of water that rapidly flow into the city during surges The water that sits in the tanks can then be discharged more slowly into the Edogawa River carrying it through natural channels into Tokyo Bay The system is often viewed by other engineers as an interesting solution to large flooding events brought on by rapid population growth The Kasukabe Reservoir is regarded by many civil engineers as a successful solution to the problem of flooding In fact, a similar flood facility is being built in Osaka Prefecture, which is scheduled for completion in 2044. And even more may be needed as global warming increases the prevalence and frequency of severe storms According to Japan’s Meteorological Agency the number of typhoons that threaten Tokyo each year has jumped 1.5 times in the last four decades But back to the reservoir being a tourist attraction Why would tourists want to see massive underground concrete caverns the design of the underwater tanks gave them a sort of cathedral-esque look Due to the large support columns scattered throughout the empty tanks present as elegant tranquil pieces of engineering sitting below the bustling city above For an animated demonstration of how the system works 0COMMENTABOUT THE AUTHORTrevor English <p>Trevor is a civil engineer (B.S.) by trade and an accomplished writer with a passion for inspiring everyone with new and exciting technologies He is also a published children&rsquo;s book author and the producer for the YouTube channel Concerning Reality.</p> By clicking sign up, you confirm that you accept this site's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Premium A jump-action Crayon Shinchan game that anyone can easily play!Collect various costumes and friends and run through the city of Kasukabe and the world of movies Everyone’s favorite five-year-old Shinnosuke makes a Fierce Dash to collect sweets and Golden Balls Get lots of different costumes using Golden Balls obtained by proceeding from one stage to another and completing special missions Enjoy Shinchan and his friends wearing a variety of cosplay clothes well-known to people familiar with anime and movies The Crayon Shin-chan 25th Anniversary Project Executive Committee has set up special events in Shin-chan’s hometown of Kasukabe Saitama as a way of celebrating the anniversary These are a part of the “Crayon Shin-chan 25th Anniversary Commemorative Event: Ora no Machi Kasukabe ni Kureba~” (or if you come to my town of Kasukabe~) and will take place from Nov This will be co-sponsored by Tobu Railway Co. and feature specially illustrated Crayon Shin-chan designs all over Kasukabe as promotion Tobu Railway will be running the Tobu Railway Crayon Shin-chan wrapped train on their Tobu Skytree Line featuring Shin-chan and his friends in the Kasukabe Defense Corps If you visit Tokyo Skytree’s Tokyo Solamachi you can also check out the Crayon Shin-chan collaborative cafe open for a limited time called the Bistro Oramachi It will have a limited menu of food and sweets that Shin-chan and his friends want to eat as well as Crayon Shin-chan-inspired decorations Kasukabe will have a wrapped Crayon Shin-chan bus running an exhibit in the third floor Puripuri Cinema Studio at the shopping mall Lala Garden Kasukabe and a pop-up kitchen car called Bistro Oramachi in Kasukabe where you can get butaman based on Puripuri Zaemon Other special Shin-chan promotional events for Kasukabe are being planned with the support of Saitama take the Tobu Railway Crayon Shin-chan wrapped train from Tokyo Skytree Town to Kasukabe Crayon Shin-chan 25th Anniversary Project Official Site Bistro Oramachi Official Site Tobu Railway Crayon Shin-chan Wrapped Train■ Dates: From Nov half year (est.)■ Used Trains: 50050 model (Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line Tokyu Denentoshi Line Direct)■ Serviced Sections: Tobu Isesaki Line Kuki and Nikko Lines - Tokyu Denentoshi Line Chuo Rinkan■ Departures: Departs from Kasukabe Station East Entrance on Nov (Last orders at 9:00 p.m.)■ Location: Tokyo Solamachi 4F (1-1-2 Oshiage Kasukabe Crayon Shin-chan Wrapped Bus■ Dates: Starts Nov 2016■ Number of Buses: 3■ Serviced Sections: Kasukabe to Komatsu Chiku Route Minami Route■ Departures: Departs from Kasukabe Station East Entrance on Nov Puripuri Cinema Studio Crayon Shin-chan Special Exhibit■ Dates: Nov 2016 to the end of March 2017 ■ Location: Lala Garden Kasukabe 3F in Game Center Crayon Shin-chan: Arashi o Yobu Puripuri Cinema Studio (1-1-1 Kasukabe Minami ~ 8:00 p.m.Themed around the first Crayon Shin-chan movie there will be an art exhibit showing work from Crayon Shin-chan: Action Kamen vs Haigure Maou You’ll get to see all kinds of versions of Shin-chan Pop-up Kitchen Car: Bistro Ora no Machi in Kasukabe■ Dates: Weekends and holidays from Nov 3■ Location: Lala Garden Kasukabe■ Business Hours: 11:00 a.m Source: @Press ATLUS has released new information and screenshots for Persona 5 Tactica detailing more information about the game’s story The Phantom Thieves of Hearts are thrown into a mysterious realm where they are attacked by group called the Legionnaires their leader “Marie” showed up and brainwashed the entire team except for Joker and Morgana Saving the two from impending doom was “Erina,” the leader of the revolutionary army They learn that this world they have been thrown into is called the “Kingdom.” they were able to escape from Marie’s grasps to the revolutionary army’s hideout So what is this new realm called the Kingdom “Marie Kingdom”: The Goal is… A Wedding!
