Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is also in a danger of destroying floods. The main threat goes from the Ibaraki Prefecture. For several years in this region has been forming the strong rain fronts, downpours. All these caused the river Kinugawa to overflow the banks. The strongest rails drop down upon the city in summer. Throughout several hours from the beginning of the shower, the streets turn into the rushing streams.

Specialists and the city government note that such floods could lead not only to horrendous human and material suffering and loss but also can lead to the serious industrial and economic problems. Year by year, it became harder for locals to return to the former pace of life back after the next flooding. People spend several months and a huge sum of money in order to reorganize their shops, restaurants, city roads and houses.

Researchers claim that the main reason for such disadvantaged climate position in Tokyo and other Japan’s regions is the global warming. Today Tokyo is the most densely-populated city in the world. More than that, during the season, the number of people increases. Ecologists say that to 2100 this huge and vibrant city can be completely unsuitable for life. Next - Buenos Aires
