water truck

Mobile dust suppressor

A water truck is a vehicle equipped with a large tank for transporting and dispensing water.

Water trucks spray roads to control dust at construction sites, deliver drinking water to areas without reliable supply, and fill swimming pools or cisterns.

They range from small tank-equipped pickups to large commercial tankers: The water truck made its rounds through the dusty lot.
