Visit to the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel - part 1

Members of the ICHARM Risk Team joined with the students from the Tokyo University international summer course, who are learning to use the IFAS software at ICHARM this week, to visit the MAOUDC.

Already at the rest stop there were informative boards from the MLIT on places we visited before, including super levees, the statue in honor of the Dutch engineer Anthonie Rouwenhorst Mulder at the Nagareyama canal that connects the Tone and Edo rivers, and the discharge channel itself.

Here are links with more information from previous visits to the MAOUDC in August 2011 - August 2011 information - October 2011 and comparable underground storage facilities in November 2011.
