According to my research
Uchimizu, which started Y2003 became the national movement in Japan with the participation of 7.7 million citizens. Uchimizu, spraying water to purify the "place" prior to welcoming the guest, is the traditional Japanese culture back to the Edo period. It has also the effect of cooling down summer heat and laying the dusts on the street.
The objective of the Mission Uchimizu is to address the issues of global warming as well as heat-island phenomenon which is becoming serious problem in the big cities like Tokyo. It is because that sprayed water could lower the temperature by evaporation.
Water used for the mission Uchimizu is treated water, so it became a good example of collaboration between the citizens and the local government, which is in charge of waste water management.
This is cool=D
