          "First water demonstrates continuity across linked systems, while sustained supply also depends on pressure control, water quality and availability of the pumping chain. For mine-water projects, the useful comparison is the complete intake-to-user system and its operating requirements, rather than the desalination unit in isolation."

A physical construction milestone is evidence of progress, while acceptance, permits and sustained operation require their own confirmation. Review the interfaces with the owner, equipment suppliers and other contractors, including the testing responsibility, operating documentation, handover conditions and treatment of outstanding work."
