Making salute ceremonies less wasteful


As seen in the above photo of airport fire engines giving a salute ceremony to an airline upon it's first arrival. It appears to be an airport in Washington DC, but it doesn't really matter where it is. The problem here is fresh water being used to give the plane a salute ceremony is being wasted and falling into concrete.

At first I was completely against the idea of giving salute ceremonies because water gets wasted. And in a world of more than seven billion people, wasting a natural resource like water is simply unethical.

But then I had an idea. If the water canons were set to shoot water where it would fall on the grass it would save watering them for one day at the same time give a proper salute ceremony.
