According to Sankei Shimbun, local merchants are planing to create a "Pool Dotonbori" for swimming in the toxic Dotonbori Canal. Their plans are to line part of the foul canal with a hi-tech waterproof fabric and then fill that section of the canal with city tap water to create a swimming area that will be 1 km long and 12 to 14 meters wide.
The swimming area even plans to have designated diving spots so the drunks can safely enjoy their revelry. The fee for swimming will be 2,000 yen for two hours, and there are plans for commercial sponsors and advertising for sewer swimming.
