G-cans: The worlds largest drain sits below the city of Saitama, Japan. The G-Cans project is a massive underground waterway and water storage area built by the Japanese government to protect Tokyo from flooding during the monsoon seasons. Begun in 1992, It was completed in 2009. The tunnels run over 100 km, but perhaps the most impressive features of the drainage system are the 213-foot-tall silos and the 83-foot-tall, 580-foot-long pillared main tank known as the Underground Temple, which was built to collect run-off from the citys waterways.
