A scene at the World Aquatics Championships.
Staff members are sprinkling water on visitors to ease the heat and make them feel welcome.
The old custom of sprinkling water with a ladle or by hand on the ground, called “uchimizu”, is a well-known example of the use of water in Japan’s daily living.
Sprinkling water on the ground lowers the temperature by vaporization heat.
When the sprinkled water dries up, please sprinkle water again!
Japan has many water resources.
Fukuoka City, in particular, is making efforts to use water resources carefully.
The low leakage rate of water supply is No. 1 in the world.
At the venue, electricity was generated using hydrogen to create a cool space with fans and other devices.
This concludes our report on the events that took place at the Aquatics Swimming.
