requires large quantities of water
Explanation: lithium extraction (especially from salt flats/brines) uses large amounts of water, which can harm local water supplies and ecosystems. Cyanide waste is typical of gold mining, and coral destruction or Amazon deforestation are not the primary, widespread impacts of lithium mining.
