Pictures: Under the City : Tokyo Storm Water System

Continuing in the spirit of Big City Life, here are few photos of the incredible Tokyo Storm Water System.

About:
Brainchild of Japan Institute of Wastewater Engineering Technology (JIWET), this "sci-fi"-like installation consists of "five 32m diameter, 65m deep concrete containment silos, connected by 64 kilometers of tunnels 50 meters deep underground. The system is powered by 14000 horsepower turbines which can pump 200 tons of water a second into a nearby river."
