¡Hola!, Mariaandre:

Welcome to the forum here at SpanishDict. We love to solve problems and to help others to find answers.

Your quotation is found in this written work Orion Magazine - The place where you live, and
The word "lonkangs" found in that item probably means "drain". See this Wikipedia page ----> Longkang'

Con permiso/With your permission - I also suggest, your question would have been better understood if you wrote it this way:

In this statement:
'Today it is raining. Industrial lampposts, sleepy leaves, the creaky red tile on the roof- everything is dripping. Water rushes through the drains, to the longkangs* and to the reservoirs, where it will meld and mingle with its siblings.'
what is the meaning of the word 'longkangs'

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

Moe
