Lack of an adequate water management plan covering different stages of a mining project may jeopardize its development, production, and subsequent closure of operations. In Mexico there are few consulting companies that offer practical solutions to the needs of the mining sector. For this reason, companies encounter difficulties when seeking effective advice to solve a problem related to the water resources of the project.
One of the main factors causing companies to limit their interest in the development of a hydrogeological project is the investment cost that this represents. However, in SRK's experience, it has been observed that investing in studies whose scope is not adequate and carried out by non-experienced personnel, generally entails higher costs in the future. These expenses increase as mining companies usually decide to hire specialists in hydrogeology when the problem is advanced.
In this workshop, “Hydrogeology Focused on Mining Projects in Mexico” we will discuss the most appropriate methods to generate quality hydrogeological information based on each mining development stage, as well as the processing, interpretation, and use of the data generated. The main objective of this workshop is to make the Mexican mining sector aware of the different hydrogeological strategies that could improve their water management and give them support on addressing or preventing issues generated by less than adequate management.
