While many African countries benefit from mining’s growth, there remain concerns about communities adjacent to mines facing risks to their groundwater or surface water supply and resources, casting a spotlight on mines’ water stewardship responsibilities.
The management of groundwater resources by mines is increasingly demanding the integration of various disciplines, both to achieve corporate sustainability objectives and to remain compliant with legislation.
In this paper, we describe an innovative numerical modelling approach used to rapidly assess the potential effectiveness of various dewatering options in reducing moisture content at the Holly Hill limestone quarry and cement manufacturing plant in South Carolina, United States.
With climate change posing a serious and immediate risk to the quality and quantity of a mine's water resource, a water stewardship programme can help a mine build resilience in relation to its water use and discharge.
While there is no shortage of water in the DRC, mining operations in the region have other water-related challenges to face, one of them being their impact on groundwater levels due to dewatering.
