The organiser also underlined that this year they are tackling a problem that was already present last year. He said that at last year’s festival, “we were struggling a lot with the dust caused by the unusual drought, but this year we are doing our best on multiple fronts to make sure that this does not happen again.” At the end of last year, the area had already been “re-greened.” They are also working with the Municipality of Budapest and the Municipality of Óbuda. In case of severe drought, the Danube water will be used to irrigate the soil. In addition, a new dust removal technique will be used. The process involves using the humidity in the air to create a layer of moisture on the soil.
