  • How reusing treated mine water can make mining a more sustainable industry?
  • Reusing and recycling treated mine water back to the mining and metallurgical processes will make the mining a more sustainable industry. The use of treated AMD to supplement to drinking water sources, instead of discharging it to the environment, expands the horizons in the field of mine water management and treatment.
  • Can mine water be reused?
  • Hypothetical scenarios based on case study baselines revealed potential impacts to mine water available for beneficial reuse through the use of novel water treatment technologies and alternate water management strategies. Finally, an assessment of national level impacts resulting from the reuse of treated mine source water is presented.
  • Do mines need groundwater recovery management & water treatment?
  • Depending on the mine’s infrastructure and the mine sites hydrogeology, groundwater recovery management and water treatment might be needed as in the case of underground mines, in many cases, perpetual water discharges from the underground mine openings cannot be avoided.
  • What is mine water recovery & recycling?
  • Mine water recovery and recycling minimizes the volume and potential environmental risk of discharged mine water and alleviates the pressure on ecosystems resulting from groundwater withdrawal.
