Agree with the sentiment but I can read the article with JS off.

#4Chicago, for example, stores water and sewage in a nearby quarry during periods of heavy rain.
Um, it's more than a quarry. Chicago is 3/4 through a sixty year project to install more than 100 miles of underground tunnels and reservoirs which will hold 66 million cubic meters of water when finished in 2029 (or thereabouts). The quarry is a temporary reservoir.

#5the 3.3-km-long tunnel-shaped reservoir, which is 7.5 km in diameter
That seems absurdly large. Then again, I suppose they want to avoid the question "what happens when it overflows?"

I believe it is 7.5 meters in diameter.

I think it's a typo as well - it had me scratching my head at how something can be less than half as long as it's own diameter.

The picture in the article would seem to be a 7.5m tunnel, if the person in the picture is about 1.8m high.
But this is Japan, so I'm going for 7.5km and the person is actually a 1.8km high Super Dimensional Fortress.
