The start-up of a desalination plant in the area takes on even greater importance as a water solution, given that the Atacama Desert, rich in mineral resources, is considered to be one of most arid regions on the planet.
It is located in Northern Chile, south of Peru, between the Loa and Copiapó rivers, near Punta Totoralillo Port, one of several owned by CAP Minería in Atacama.
