Mine Water Management
Sustainable water management is fundamental for all mining projects, and while legislation and conditions vary, best practice core principles can be universally applied. The challenges presented by a changing climate further underscore the need for appropriate mine water management assessment and operations, to ensure efficient and effective mine operation.
Overview
Our water management experts understand that mining is a competing beneficiary, whose life-cycle of water usage needs to be assessed, modelled, managed and permitted using the best practices available. SLR recognises that water must be managed in a way that optimises operations, while ensuring it is used sparingly and responsibly, and whether from quantity or quality, it neither causes harm or leaves legacy issues and liabilities.
