Reno, is a ways from Thacker Pass, but I am very doubtful that the annual rainfall in the vicinity of Thacker Pass is any greater than what we have in Reno and it is very dry here in Reno, especially this last year.

I just point this out to emphasize the water availability and useage issue there at the proposed Thacker Pass lithium processing plant.  It is an extremely important issue, one that I am sure they are tackling head on at the Reno Lithium Processing Lab for LAC.
