Japan's land ministry says by Sunday noon
it had confirmed the
collapse of levees at 10 locations on nine rivers, due to heavy rains brought by Typhoon Hagibis.
Among those, six rivers under state jurisdiction suffered levee breaches at seven locations.
They are -- the Yoshida River in the vicinity of Miyagi Prefecture's Osato-cho, two locations on the Kuji River in the vicinity of the city of Hitachiomiya in Ibaraki Prefecture, the Toki River in the vicinity of Higashi Matsuyama in Saitama Prefecture, the Oppe River in the vicinity of Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture, the Tsukumo River in the vicinity of Higashi Matsuyama in Saitama, and the

Death toll nears 66 due to Typhoon Hagibis
Emergency crews across Japan are racing against time to rescue over a dozen people who are still missing after Typhoon Hagibis ravaged the nation over the weekend. Authorities say the death toll stands at 58.
More than 200 were injured during the weekend storm. Officials say many areas received up to 40 percent of their yearly rainfall in only a day or two.
The storm caused about 200 rivers to overflow. Levees burst on about 50, flooding streets and residential areas. Among them ... the Chikuma River in Nagano Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo.
Houses across the region were flooded. Muddy waters are hampering cleanup efforts.
The floodwaters have also crippled one of Nagano's major industries: apple farming.
A maintenance yard for the Hokuriku bullet train line was also swamped. Its operator says 10 trains and their 120 carriages were damaged when water levels rose by an estimated 4 meters.
Land ministry officials say they've received reports of about 140 landslides across the country.
NHK has learned that floodwaters reached the first floor of about 8,000 houses and 800 others were damaged to some extent.
Japan's land ministry says by Monday evening it had established that Typhoon Hagibis caused the collapse of levees at 52 locations on 37 rivers in seven prefectures.
Among those, levee breaches occurred at 12 state-administered locations on seven rivers.
These include: one location in Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, on the
Abukuma River; one location in Osato Town, Miyagi Prefecture, on the Yoshida River; one location in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture, on the Toki River; two locations in the cities of Higashimatsuyama and Kawagoe, both in Saitama Prefecture, on the Oppe River; three locations in the cities of Naka and Hitachiomiya, both in Ibaraki Prefecture, on the Naka River; three locations in Ibaraki's Hitachiomiya City on the Kuji River; and one location in Nagano City on the Chikuma River.
Dike breaches were also confirmed at 40 locations on 32 rivers that are administered by the prefectures of Fukushima, Miyagi, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Saitama, Niigata and Nagano.
NHK has learned
that more than 10,000 homes were flooded due to Typhon Hagibis which swept across Japan over the weekend.
The heavy rain also caused about 140 landslides across the country.
Meanwhile, nearly 35,000 households are still without electricity.
NHK has learned that more than 12,000 homes were flooded due to Typhon Hagibis which swept across Japan over the weekend.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says
his government is planning to designate Typhoon Hagibis a "severe natural disaster," in order to increase state subsidies for reconstruction work in affected regions.
... The prime minister acknowledged the typhoon may have a prolonged impact on peoples' daily lives and economic activities.

Residents begin cleanup as death toll hits 74.
Rescuers are searching for about 10 people who are still missing 4 days after the storm.
The heavy rain burst at least 79 levees on rivers across the country.
NHK has learned over 14,000 houses were flooded. More than 110,000 households are without water supplies. Thousands of homes still have no electricity. It's unclear how long it will take to fully restore services.
Weather officials are warning that a low pressure system could dump more heavy rain on northern and eastern Japan on Friday and Saturday.
Backwater may have caused fatal flooding
An expert on river disasters says what's called the "backwater phenomenon" may have been the cause of fatal flooding in northeastern Japan during Typhoon Hagibis.
Five people were killed in the town of Marumori in Miyagi Prefecture, which is traversed by the long and wide Abukuma River.
Tokyo University of Science Professor Yasuo Nihei analyzed satellite imagery of Marumori shot by geospatial information company PASCO.
He says no levees were breached on the Abukuma River, but banks collapsed in several areas along its tributaries.
Nihei says rising water levels in the Abukuma River may have prevented tributaries from flowing into it, in what's called the backwater phenomenon.
He notes that the rain continued in a region that usually gets relatively little rain. He says new flood control measures may be necessary.
Nihei stresses the importance of getting information on rainfall, as well as water levels. He also says people who live near smaller tributaries that flow into large rivers should obtain data on the mainstream to assess conditions more accurately.

Typhoon Hagibis leaves massive waste
Typhoon Hagibis will likely generate more debris and waste than the torrential rain that hit western Japan last year.
The Environment Ministry estimates the amount of disaster waste in Tokyo and 10 prefectures will reach several million tons.
Details are not yet clear, but that would be more than the 2 million tons from last year's disaster, which claimed lives of more than 200 people.
Ministry officials say some waste has been left untreated partly because 10 disposal facilities were shut down, as of Wednesday, due to flooding and other problems.
The officials are asking local governments outside the storm-hit areas as well as private operators to help dispose of the waste.
The storm has also damaged radioactivity monitoring posts in Fukushima Prefecture, which hosts a crippled nuclear plant.
Nuclear regulators say 83 out of 3,700 posts in the prefecture went offline.
They say the ones out of service are used for everyday monitoring but the posts used in case of emergency are running properly.

Hagibis designated as 'extraordinary disaster' - NHK
The Japanese government has decided to designate the extensive damage from Typhoon Hagibis as an "extraordinary disaster." People in the affected areas will be given flexible treatment for administrative procedures.
The government made the decision at a cabinet meeting on Friday.
Last weekend's storm caused widespread damage in Tohoku in the northeast and the Kanto-Koshin region, including Tokyo.
The designation will allow people affected by the disaster to renew their driver's licenses after the expiry date. They will also be able to delay bankruptcy proceedings.
The justice ministry says procedures for residence status and other matters will be handled in a flexible manner if foreign residents fail to meet the deadlines because of the disaster.
Hagibis will be the sixth disaster to be given such a designation.
The government established the system after the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995.

Typhoon Hagibis farm, forest, fishery losses rise
Japan's agriculture ministry says the damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis to the farming, forestry and fishery industries continues to rise. So far, it has amounted to more than 100 billion yen, or 920 million dollars.
The ministry released an updated report on the financial losses in 38 prefectures on Friday morning.
At least 7,300 agricultural facilities, such as reservoirs and drains, have been damaged. The estimated cost of repairs is about 350 million dollars.
The figure for rice, apples and other agricultural products is over 78 million dollars. The damage is spread over more than 10,000 hectares, with forest roads, wood-processing plants and other forestry-related facilities sustaining about 289 million dollars' worth of damage.
Fishing ports and fishery facilities have seen losses of about 87 million dollars.
Ministry officials estimate the total cost will rise, particularly in areas where rivers have burst their banks. They are continuing work to grasp a full picture of the damage.

Levees, roads unrepaired 2 weeks after Hagibis
Two weeks have passed since Typhoon Hagibis swept across Japan, but damaged levees and roads have yet to be repaired in many areas.
The infrastructure ministry says that as of Friday, embankments had collapsed at 140 locations along 71 rivers in seven prefectures. It says 281 rivers in 16 prefectures had overflowed, inundating wide areas.
Repair work is underway in affected areas in preparation for more heavy rainfall and flooding.
Temporary embankments have been completed on the banks of rivers managed by the central government.
But makeshift banks are yet to be completed at 45 of 128 locations where levees burst on rivers managed by prefectures.
They include the Abukuma River in Fukushima Prefecture and the Uchi River in Miyagi Prefecture.
The central government will conduct some of the repairs. Officials plan to complete all temporary banks by the end of the month.
Typhoon Hagibis is expected to be designated an extraordinary disaster. This will enable the government to take charge of restoration work on six roads in five prefectures.
