Abstract
In this paper, the planning of storm water drainage at the ancient capital city in Japan is discussed. The dimensions of “Horikawa”(waterway) and many “Mizo”(ditch) constructed at both sides or one side of road in Heiankyo (the capital of Japan) are made clear using historical literature “Engisiki” and the archaorogical excavation data. Considering the topography of Heiankyo and the dimensions of “Horikawa” and “Mizo”, Heiankyo is divided into four drainage blocks. The drainage capacity of “Horikawa” and “Mizo” are quantitatively evaluated using the rational method.
