It somehow appears to me that explaining these things to you would a bit futile....

But hey I'll try anyway:

Stress test was allegedly supposed to prove to the lenders that the aquifer can handle the water extraction needed for 1MT/y of MOP

(so far so good?)


Allana was pumping 500m3/hr (5 wells 100m3 each)for 2-3 months to prove it

(still good?)


But 1Mt/y of solution mining of MOP needs 18.5mm3/year of water, that translates to 2,150m3 an hour on 24/7 basis. In reality Allana will have to pump more like 2x as much because the operation will not go 24/7 and 365 days a year

(still good?)


So they will need about 4 times more water that the stress test proved to be available

Is it clear now?
