Vertical-shaft volute mixed flow pump, diameter of 3600 mm (30 m3/s), engine-driven
Discharge nozzle diameter of 2000 mm (10 m3/s) motor and engine-driven
: North Chiba No. 2 pumping station
Vertical-shaft volute mixed flow pump, diameter of 2000 mm (10 m3/s), motor-driven
Diameter of 1500 mm (5 m3/s) motor-driven
Engine for dedicated drainage pump (3600 mm, 30 m3/s) and speed reducer (one in the foreground of the photo), engines, motors, and speed reducers for storage and drainage integrated pump (2000 mm, 10 m3/s) (five units in the background of the photo)
Five motor and engine-driven storage and drainage pumps (2000 mm, 10 m3/s) were installed.
One engine-driven drainage pump (3600 mm, 30 m3/s) was installed.
The discharge pipes of five storage and drainage pumps (2000 mm) were connected to a φ5400 mm drain confluence pipe, and water from the Tegagawa River is directed into the Tonegawa River during drainage operation. During storage-water pumping operations, two Φ3200 mm buried pipes branch from the drain confluence pipes and provide water to the water landing well at the North Chiba No. 2 pumping station, 14.8 km away.

Two pumps (1500 mm, 5 m3/s) (two units in foreground of photo), three pumps (2000 mm, 10 m3/s) (three units in background of photo)
The discharge pipes of five water-storage pumps (2000 mm and 1500 mm) are connected to a φ3400 mm drain confluence pipe, from which two φ3200 mm buried pipes branch out to provide water to the Sakagawa River discharge outlet, 7.4 km away.
Water from the Tonegawa River sent from the North Chiba storage and drainage pumping station (Inzai City) flows through an overturning gate from a water landing well (foreground of the photo) at the North Chiba No. 2 pumping station (Kashiwa City) into the Teganuma Marsh. In addition, water from the water landing well is pumped by the North Chiba No. 2 pumping station to the Sakagawa River discharge outlet, where it then flows through the Sakagawa River to the Edogawa River.
