New Conference - Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments
By Zoe Mullard, May 7th, 2012 - PERMALINK
InfoMine, in collaboration with MWH, announces Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments, the first of a new conference series to examine and share successes in mine water management in extreme environments. The conference will take place in Lima, Peru from April 15-17th, 2013. 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.
