Abstract

An underground drainage facility including a drainage pump adapted to be operated if an inflow water channel is constructed as a closed channel. Overflow weirs in water channels such as rivers or the like on an inflow side are less than a maximum water level. A vertical-shaft multi-stage adjustable-vane impeller is used as a drainage pump. Consequently, even a drainage pump of a high pressure head and large capacity can perform a waiting running and accommodate a variation in a quantity of inflowing water to the drainage facility.
