“This will be mark the first man-made lagoon project in the mountain area to date. It is a phenomenal undertaking and one that we are eager to get off the ground as soon as possible, and highlighting Crystal Lagoons’ ability to bring a body of water to any landscape, be it desert, the centre of major cities, or mountainous regions,” said Salas.
