@NdxtremePro - today, the brine is underground, has lithium in it with other metals & minerals, the brine is pumped out, brine spread over large land areas to evaporate the water, then the salts are harvested for lithium extraction.
The water 💧, unbelievable amounts of water 💦, is evaporated as a waste product.
The reality is, the water 💧 is a precious commodity that should be captured & reinjected into the ground, to keep the caverns from collapsing. As the caverns collapse, the harvesting of lithium will deteriorate… more likely, they will take fresh water 💦 for human & agricultural consumption & inject it into the ground, to sustain the mining in the future.
Lithium mining is so bad, on so many levels. It is like watching a train 🚂 wreck in slow motion. We know what is going to happen, as we see the symptoms already.
