•
No freshwater is or will be used in the
Project. SDV will not extract fresh water
directly from the Los Patos River or from
any other superficial water body in the
Salar del Hombre Muerto basin.
• SDV will extract brackish groundwater
from the shallow aquifer near Rio Los
Patos.
The company has implemented a
participatory water monitoring program.
Allkem has prepared a "Water Studies
Roadmap" (WSR) to assess connectivity
across aquifers and surface water features
and to manage any potential impacts on
groundwater resources, the biota, and
ecosystem services during the project life
cycle. The results will be verified by an
independent auditor and publicly disclosed
annually.
Biodiversity
Project infrastructure has been situated
to avoid areas of biodiversity value, such
as wetlands, vegetated areas and lagoons
of the Salar del Hombre Muerto.
