Bill 6816 provides for registrable and transferable use licenses, a progressive fee on large users (10% in year 1 rising to 100% in year 7) and charges for commercial uses (power generation, commercial irrigation, beverages and food), according to statements by the Environment Minister, Patricia Orantes, reported by Con Criterio and the detail of the fee in No-Ficción. No unit amounts have been published. The dossier's recommendation is to model the fee as a future cost risk; today there is no national extraction fee.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
