¹ Megaliter = 1 thousand m3.

² Surface water: rivers, streams and lakes.

³Fresh water corresponds to (≤1,000 mg/L total dissolved solids) and Other water to (> 1,000 mg/L total dissolved solids).

4 Groundwater: groundwater, wells and mine lowering.

5 Outsourced treatment: concessionaires, government and others.

6 Retained water: in products and/or waste.

7 Others: examples: evaporation, losses, effluents supplied to third parties, etc.
