Use of Evaporation Ponds in the Mining Industry
Some of the largest and most well-designed evaporation ponds in the world were built for the use of the mining industry.
Contaminated Sites Benefit from Evaporation Ponds
It’s best to avoid contaminating soil and water in the first place by handling wastewater and similar contaminants properly from the beginning.
Evaporation Ponds in Agriculture
