It is suggested to use a solution based on flaxseed cake, instead of only water, for irrigation the technological roads. It can wet the roads more efficiently. The frequency of watering can be significantly decreased, thereby the employees working time can be optimized to reduce harmful effects on health. The costs for oil and fuel also will be decreased. The calculation of costs included the cost of labor, electricity, fuel for the sprinkler, repairs, depreciation and others.
