Absolutely spot on, the water table at the driest time of the year is still only 1/2m from the surface at LD, moving equipment on the surface unless extreme LGP type equipment is near impossible at any time of the year.
I see other projects taking 30 ton excavator onto the lake surface and it has me thinking how this is even possible when you want as much brine/water in the lake to extract. The closer to the surface the easier and more cost effective to pump?
The rains that regenerate the lake at Christmas bring the water table to the surface
