“Last year we had a lot of trouble with hostel dust due to the unusual drought, this year we are doing things on several fronts to prevent this from happening again. On the one hand, at the end of last year, we eliminated the deficiencies caused by drying out on the grassy ground. We are working together with the Metropolitan Municipality and the Óbuda Municipality to ensure that in the event of a drought, we can continuously provide irrigation with water from the Danube. In addition, we are using a new dedusting treatment in the entire area of the festival, the essence of which is that the process uses the humidity of the air to form a slightly wet layer on the ground.”
