How does the Changi Airport waterfall work?

Rain falling on the inner slope of the toroidal roof flows down to a slot opening forming the perimeter of the oculus. From this opening, a vortex of water plunges down eight storeys, the final three of which are contained within a giant, transparent, acrylic tube as it passes through basement retail.
