1724 Figure 105 Block models of mature and immature salars showing the distribution of facies and main hydrological components (Houston et al., 2011). 2. METHODS AND APPROACH To support the study objectives, a synthetic geological model will be constructed to replicate the fundamental depositional and petrophysical characteristics of clastic–evaporite salar systems. The model also incorporates insights derived from our extensive experience working in highly heterogeneous salar environments: • Alternating high‑ and low‑permeability units that capture the interbedding of sands, silts, clays, and evaporites characteristic of mature, heterogeneous salar systems.
