Recordist's notes
The Srem waterworks set up a gate with water sprinklers that produced a water mist. The device was supposed to be used to cool down on hot summer days. I never saw anyone use it because the amount of water that was produced caused clothes to soak up a lot of water when passing through the gate. The device operated continuously day and night which caused water to accumulate on the sidewalk in large quantities. (roland r-07)
