Mine water encompasses all water impacted during mining operations, such as freshwater, process water, process waste streams, contact water, and mine drainage. Because mining occurs all year round, all over the world, it’s essential to carefully manage mine water to avoid deficits and surpluses.
We work with a range of mine water balance models that respond to the process, seasonal, and climatic variations affecting mines. These models help us minimize water make-up and predict water quality under various scenarios.
