Has some discussion on it.
Chances are, it's the water from the pad protection (rain birds, noise dampening, the fix for the concrete being obliterated etc). Contaminants will be removed, it will be filtered etc...
The concern is around it being freshwater, and it upsetting the freshwater/saltwater balance in the area
Just mine the area for lithium for a while, then you can offset the extra brackishness with your fresh water
