THE MINE WATER USE CHALLENGE

All hydrological changes will impact ecosystems – the only questions is how much and are these changes critical to dependent social and environmental values?

Water Management in Mining is committed to addressing the fundamental role of sound water management in achieving environmental best practice.

Earning and maintaining license to operate is a must for viability in the mining industry. Water Management in Mining will identify and exemplify best practices in:

  • Integrating mine water use and community concerns through all phases of mining
  • Optimising sustainability in mining operations through water systems management
  • Earning and maintaining long term license to operate through water use and management

What are the key topics to be addressed?

  • Uncovering cumulative impacts of mining on water quality
  • Setting effective water management practices through good engagement, regulation and planning
  • Maintaining top performance throughout the entire life cycle of the project
  • Groundwater management and its role in comprehensive water use planning
  • Tailings management, water recovery, recycling and reuse of water

Who is this event for?

Water Management in Mining will bring together mining companies, mine sites and mining construction contractors, and has been researched and developed for:

  • Environmental Managers
  • Mine Planning Managers
  • Hydrogeologists
  • Mine Planning Engineers

So what are the most important issues driving best practice in water management in mining?

This extensively researched programme has identified the key challenges for Australia:

  • Addressing the environmental and cost ramifications of waste water and acid rock drainage (ARD)
  • Ensuring continued, secure and predictable access to a range of water sources for resources projects
  • Resolving increasing competition for water between mining, agriculture and urban uses
