IN THE NEWS
NEWPORT BEACH UNVIEILS CALIFORNIA’S FIRST TRASH COLLECTING WATER WHEEL
Newport Beach has unveiled a pioneering multi-million dollar trash-collecting water wheel, marking it as the first system of its kind in California. This innovative device is engineered to intercept floating debris in the water before it can contaminate the city's harbors and pristine beaches. The initiative reflects a significant investment in environmental protection, aiming to preserve the coastal ecosystem and maintain the area's appeal for residents and tourists alike. By proactively capturing trash, the water wheel could set a precedent for other coastal cities battling pollution. Local officials have hailed the project as a critical step toward cleaner waterways, noting that it addresses a persistent problem of plastic waste and other debris washing ashore during storms and high tides.
The wheel operates continuously, powered by a combination of water flow and solar energy, making it both efficient and sustainable. Environmental groups have already praised the effort, with hopes that data collected from its operation will highlight the volume and types of trash affecting the region. Plans are also underway to pair the system with community education programs to reduce littering at its source, amplifying the technology's impact. This bold move by Newport Beach underscores a growing trend of cities adopting cutting-edge solutions to combat marine pollution.
