Street gutter

A street gutter is like a small canal or pathway built along the edge of a street or road. It can be made of concrete or metal and is designed to collect rainwater and direct it away from the street and towards a drainage system. It looks like a long, narrow trench with a grate or cover on top to prevent debris from clogging the pathway.

When it rains, water falls on the street and flows towards the gutter. The gutter collects this water and carries it along the street, preventing it from pooling and causing flooding. The water then flows into a drain, which can be connected to a pipe that carries it away to a river or a treatment plant.

Street gutters serve an important purpose in keeping our streets safe and preventing flooding. However, it's also important to keep them clean and free of debris so that they can do their job effectively. So it's good to avoid throwing paper, plastics or any litter into the gutters as it could obstruct the flow of water leading to flooding.
