Barrick’s arrival, environmental mismanagement by past administrations had -for decades- adversely affected the water quality of communities surrounding the Pueblo Viejo operation. To reverse this situation, Barrick has designed an extensive network of more than 100 water treatment monitoring wells and 90 surface water quality stations to measure on-site water quality. This ensures due compliance with international water treatment standards.
