Low pressure water jets were first used for mining gold in California in 1852. Since then water jets have been used for cleaning, and recently, high powered steam water jets have been used for cutting metal1. A water jet can be a number of things, however, for this project; it is simply a jet of water under pressure2. 1 How Stuff Works, Inc.
