Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments is the second in an innovative new conference series that aims to examine a wide range of issues associated with mine water management in extremely wet, dry, and cold climates and with extreme hydrogeological and geochemical issues. 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
Themes
- Water Management in Extremely Wet Areas
- Water Management in Extremely Dry Areas
- Water Management in Extremely Cold Areas (Glacial, Periglacial and Permafrost)
- Water Management and Climate Change
- Challenging Geochemical Conditions Over Time
- Surface Water Over Time
- Groundwater Over Time
- Regulatory and Social Challenges
- Hydogeology in Deep Mining Environments
- Physical Control of Contaminants
- Water Treatment
Share your extreme environment water management successes.
The conference will include invited keynotes and paper presentations based on the accepted abstracts and manuscripts. Preference for oral presentations will be given to those whose papers will be included in the proceedings. Conference presentations will be held April 13-15, 2015.
