Mine Water Management Project

The programme will provide the information necessary for the DMR

The programme will provide the information necessary for the DMR to fulfil its mandate and, specifically dealing with:

• Information required for mine rehabilitation, in cooperation with the DMR and the CGS activities around derelict and ownerless mines;
• Improved mine water management;
• Improving our understanding of the impacts of mining on the environment;
• Support for DMR (Mining Environmental Research and Sustainable Development);
• Development of a mine Water database;
• Mine residue pollution solutions;
• Assessment of potential water and other environment-related constraints on mineral development.

Moreover, where rehabilitation or remedial activities are undertaken, job creation at local level will be prioritized and labour-intensive approaches will be favored as far as possible.
