[0039] In disaster-prone areas of Japan, where water infrastructure is destroyed, water shortages for daily use are serious. The present invention provides a "long water tank buried in a concrete floor slab," a floor slab constructed by burying a long water storage pipe in a concrete floor slab, as disclosed in Patent No. 6688960, a patent held by the inventor. The long water storage pipe is buried in the floor slab of a concrete structure constructed with molded members fixed in a ladder shape or in a floor slab installed on paved ground. The greatest industrial applicability of this invention lies in building a society where water for daily use is available regardless of whether it is in peacetime or during a disaster. Meanwhile, the provision of a "floor slab water tank buried in a concrete floor slab" can significantly contribute to the realization of a sustainable society that alleviates water shortages caused by the destruction of water infrastructure in Japan, where disasters frequently occur.
