Tokyo G-Cans Project

The Tokyo g-cans project is one of the most eye appealing and greatly built structures I have come accross in a long time.  The G-cans project which is located under the streets of tokyo is a flood system created to drain and protect the city from many natural disaters such as monsoons, typhons, and tsunamis like the one located at 3/11 of the this past year.  The tunnels which took 17 years and 2 billion dollars spread for 6 kilometers and collect water from all 5 rivers and drained the water back into the ocean.  

Might not seem like much but Tokyo was created under a fault line, without this system Tokyo wouldn’t be standing.  The japanese really found a way to make this land close to indestructible.
