What is water pressure tunnel?
Pressure tunnels are tunnels used to divert water from a reservoir, usually to a hydroeletric power house. They take their name due to the fact that, instead of most commons tunnels in wich the main load is geostatic (pointing inwards the tunnel), pressure tunnels are submited to high water pressures pointing outwards the tunnel.

What are the disadvantages of tunnel?
Disadvantages of High Tunnels One of the primary disadvantages of the more permanent high tunnels is the fact that they are not easily moved. Some high tunnels are engineered to be (and advertised as) easily movable. However, they are typically not very easy to move, and many high tunnels are never moved Another disadvantage to high tunnel production is the lack of exhaust fans for venting during hot weather. In most regions where tunnels are used, tunnels will overheat at some point during the crop production season unless manually vented, or unless an automated ventilation system is used to roll up the sides as the temperature inside the tunnel rises. Another disadvantage of high tunnels is that they can be destroyed by high winds, snow, and ice, as they typically do not have the strength of greenhouse structures. Tunnels should be designed to withstand or avoid these stresses.
