The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel is the largest underground water facility in the world. Built to protect residents from constant flooding, the system drains rainwater to a massive tunnel underground that then redirects the flow to a nearby river that can handle the influx of water. Thanks to the ingenuity of the drainage system, Japan’s residents are kept high and dry.
