ABSTRACT CONTENT:
Economic study of water sprinkling conservation method according to the type of companies (sawmill, forest
owner, paper industry, trader-transport company, forester, etc.). This study also answers the species that have
been conserved, the type of wood (industrial wood or lumber), the input and output on the storage yard, the
grants that have been attributed by the government in terms of equipment, loan and transport.
When nothing was previously done on site, the total cost of the conservation method based on 38 different sites
and calculated over a 3 years period, is estimated to 13€/m 3 . Provided that the site is already built up, the cost
would be 9€/m 3 . A recycling water system is expected to increase the price by 1.6€/m 3 in average.
