In considering the impact of the plant on water resources, it's important to obtain detailed information on the area interested in terms of presence of surface water, basins or groundwater intended for human consumption. The fallout of contaminants, such as the particulate matter emitted by the plant can result in contamination of surface water for human consumption, whilst the contamination of the groundwater may be caused by leakage of contaminants through soil.
