Mining intensity and scale is on the increase worldwide. Water shortages resulting from climate change, pollution and increased demand, mean that understanding and managing waters in and around mining activity has never been so vital to environment and society.
You are invited to attend the International Mine Water Association’s (IMWA) 2012 conference in one of the southern hemisphere’s powerhouses of mining; Western Australia. A vast dry landscape of numerous mineable resources from iron and copper, to gold and uranium, with water challenges and an innovative mining industry. This event will showcase the latest mine water management solutions the international community has to offer.
