The Southeast Pond is the main collection pond for used mining water on location. The pond provides most of the process water that is needed to operate the ore processing plant. If its quality so allows, excess water is pumped towards the polishing pond. Underground water and runoff collected in the Canadian Malartic open pit are pumped either towards the plant to be used as process water or towards the Southeast Pond.

Water located in underground openings is pumped towards the ore processing plant where part is used as process water, while the other part is sent towards the Southeast Pond through pumping. For the Gouldie open pit, surface runoff of the Gouldie ditch is pumped towards the Southeast Pond.
