Water might be one of the
world’s most widely available resources, but creating safe, potable
water isn’t always free nor endlessly accessible, which explains
the shortage problem plaguing populous and sprawling states like
California. What exactly can state government and locals do to help
prevent this problem from escalating any further?
Water pollution is caused
by many factors; one of these is the accumulation of waste or junk
collected from streets and gutters. When these roadway pollutants
enter the waterways, they eventually reach creeks, beaches, bays and
rivers. The result can be deadly not only to the marine habitat, but
also to the drinking water system.
One of the most effective
ways to eliminate road trash and debris such as leaves, paper, or
other particles found in gutters, is street sweeping. This method
improves air quality and prevents pollutants from entering stormwater
systems and streams.
A street sweeper works by
using forced air and a high-powered vacuum unit to collect particles
or dirt. When high pressure air is blown onto the road, the vacuum
lifts the particles and sends them into the machine's hopper. These
machines are also recommended for general street maintenance to
improve the quality of stormwater runoff.
