Open dumps showing different situations regarding surface run-off. In the image on the left the open dump (Simoca 1, ID 1) drains directly into the adjacent watercourse; in the central image most of the dump (Famaillá, ID 3) drains mainly in the opposite direction of the watercourse, into crop fields; and in the image on the right the open dump (Alberdi, ID 4) is immersed in an agricultural matrix and drains in all directions. Red polygons indicate watershed divisions, and blue lines indicate water flows in the relief. The arrows indicate the potential direction of waste movement, given topography. All dumps for which we obtained data using the UAV flights are shown in Figure S1 (n = 35). Images were created using DroneDeploy Software version 2.119.0 (www.dronedeploy.com) and ArcGIS Pro version 3.0.2 (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-desktop/overview).
