Minera Media Luna, a subsidiary of Canada’s Torex Gold Resources, built an artificial wetland for wastewater treatment in the municipality of Cocula, Guerrero (Mexico), where it has mining operations.

The water treatment is located in the community of La Fundición and replicates the system present in nature for the purification of water.
