CONTROL DUST WITH LESS WATER.

Water is important to keep dust down and haul roads safe for operation. Too little water and dust grows out of control. Too much water and your roads become a slippery mess. Safety suffers and productivity slows. Knowing where and when to water — using only what you need — is key to conserving this scarce resource.
