Suwon City Operates Water Sprinkler Trucks and Activates Road Surface Rainwater Spray Facilities During Heatwave Warnings

Suwon City is spraying water on the road surface using water trucks as a heatwave warning has been issued.

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province will operate water spraying trucks and activate road surface rainwater spraying facilities when a heatwave warning is issued to minimize damage to citizens caused by the heatwave.

First, when a heatwave warning is issued, Suwon City will operate water spraying trucks on major arterial roads within the city (total length approximately 400 km).

Also, when the maximum temperature reaches 30℃ or higher, or a heatwave warning is issued, the road surface rainwater spraying facilities installed at three locations?Suwon Sports Complex, Gwanggyo Yeollim Park, and Suwon World Cup Stadium?will be operated twice a day.

The road surface rainwater spraying facilities spray collected rainwater onto the roads when fine dust or heatwave-related weather warnings are in effect, removing dust and helping to alleviate the urban heat island effect.

A Suwon city official stated, "Operating water spraying trucks and activating the road surface rainwater spraying facilities will help resolve the urban heat island phenomenon caused by the heatwave," adding, "We will actively work to minimize heatwave damage."
