Funded Activity Summary

Water sensitive mining. The project aims to provide tools that can identify how mining projects, including associated land use and infrastructure, can play a positive role in sustainable water management. This will be based on new knowledge about mine-land-water relationships, novel approaches to modelling mine site hydrology within regional models and greater emphasis on risk evaluation. This work is essential if resource-rich regions in Australia and beyond are to be developed with sustainability as a goal, and for mining to live comfortably alongside other strategically important water and land users. The main outcome aims to be the development of new tools for predicting and optimising the regional water management opportunities provided by mining.
