Yeah. I was thinking if there was some other mine type of thing in the area that is where it would be deposited.
I'd be concerned about it leaching into the water table with that approach. Plus transport to those mines could be very expensive and complicated
yeah logistics are going to vary greatly depending on situation. I was making a generality with the land concentrated (ie you don't want it to leach around) and water dilute (ie not increasing salinity to leathal levels)
