DIPOLE METHOD PRECISION TESTING ON EVAPORATION PONDS, SQM SALAR, ATACAMA DESERT, CHILE

A series of tests were conducted on evaporation ponds at the SQM Salar site with a wide range of electrodes, voltage /amperage values, and simulated leak sizes and distances from positive electrodes. The goal of these tests was to identify the most effective way to perform electrical leak location surveys in the site’s unique conditions.
