Functional Damage of Water Supply Systems due to Power Outages during Recent Natural Disasters in Japan
Publication: Lifelines 2022
ABSTRACT
This study makes a report on functional damage of water supply systems after the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake and that after Typhoon Faxai, the 15th typhoon in 2019. The functional damage of water supply systems during these two events were mainly due to the power outages. In Japan, it is anticipated that extensive power outages may occur after the Tokyo Inland and the Nankai Trough earthquakes in the near future. This study will be helpful to establish a resilient water supply system against future earthquakes.
