On September 8th, Nagoya City was hit by the heaviest rainfall on record.

At this time, Nagoya's two main shopping districts presented completely different scenes.

In Sakae, the roads became like rivers, and the water was so deep that car tires were submerged.

The drainage system couldn't keep up with the sudden downpour, and the city was flooded.

However, at the same time, the area in front of Nagoya Station was only wet on the road surface; no flooding was observed.

Why was there such a difference between these two areas, which are only a few kilometers apart?

The answer lies in a place invisible from above ground.

Underground around Nagoya Station runs the Nagoya Central Stormwater Retention Pond, a massive tunnel 5 kilometers long and capable of storing 100,000 tons of rainwater.

Learning from the Tokai heavy rains 26 years ago, Nagoya City has been developing underground facilities to store rainwater.

There are 99 retention ponds built throughout the city.

During this heavy rainfall, these preparations clearly proved effective.

Distance from retention ponds, differences in land elevation.

The protected areas of the city, and those that were not.

There are still many issues to consider regarding urban rainwater management.
