water.desalination+reuse xxxx -xxx 20xx subject 17
The proposed desalination
plant will be situated south of
Caldera and east of Copiapó,
in Atacama. The region is
high on thermal energy
and low on water, and
has a high number of
copper mines that
require additional
water resources in
order to increase
their extraction
capacities (see
page 19).
