How cities use underground space to bypass devastating floods
As urban land becomes increasingly scarce, engineers are looking beneath the surface. This video examines the massive infrastructure projects known as flood tunnels and the complex challenges involved in designing these subterranean bypasses.
To maximize valuable surface land, many global cities are turning to the space underneath them to manage water. Flood tunnels serve as critical infrastructure to bypass floodwaters, protecting urban environments from overflow.
Building these massive projects requires navigating significant engineering hurdles and finding functional solutions to move water safely through the earth.
