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. |
