  • This technology is to let rainwater flow into a waterway that is located side gutter of a street with blocking garbage including cigarette butts at the same time. The first waterway is located beside the sidewalk and it enhances the water circulation in a city. This waterway is filled with aggregates and filter media, which removes fine dust that is washed out of the street and let water flow down to the earth.
