Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments is the first in an innovative new conference series that aims to examine and share successes in mine water management in challenging environments. The thematic areas include:
Extremely dry settings
Extremely wet settings
Extremely cold settings
Extremely complex hydrogeological conditions (e.g. karst)
Extremely challenging geochemistry
The conference will provide a forum for presentation and discussion about successful practices that enable responsible mining to be undertaken in challenging environments, while minimizing water use and/or preserving water resources. All aspects of mine water management, including hydrology, hydrogeology, diversion, containment, water conservation, minimization of water quality impacts, seepage interception and treatment may be addressed. Management of water associated with mine dewatering, waste rock and tailings are of particular interest. |
