"headline": "Water is one of your mine’s most valuable resources",
"text": "
Climate change, increasing competition for scarce water supplies, and more stringent mine water quality regulations are all factors that affect your mine.
Overcoming them smoothly requires an integrated approach with a creative and experienced water management team. Good mine water management is about taking only as much as you need. Having too little water will stop the mine from operating efficiently and having too much can require costly measures to protect the environment.
Water impacts your mine at every stage of its life. Beginning as a drop of rain, the water droplet either soaks into voids to feed groundwater or fills the rivers and lakes that provide your mine’s water supply. It’s an integral part of your operations.
When you close a mine, efforts are made to divert water away from it, while any remaining contact water is treated. Restored back to its clean and natural state, water can flow through the ecosystem again.
Let’s work together to manage your mine water.
" }

"headline": "Supporting responsible mine water management",
"description": "Mining impacts watersheds. As a mine is preparing for closure (or is already closed) we support sustainable water management by restoring streams, wetlands, and woodlands to natural ecosystems. Reclamation promotes biodiversity. And it helps mining companies get regulatory and social approval. Water management regulations vary by state and country, so partnering with water resources engineers and closure professionals is critical. Let’s work together and strive for a sustainable mine design in closure. ",

Using a suite of modeling platforms, we can measure your surface water and groundwater. We can track water chemistry over time by monitoring geochemical reactions in waste rock, pit wall rock, ore, and tailings, and with site\u002Dwide water balance models like GoldSim™, we can help you predict water quantity and quality. These models help you understand risk and determine potential variability in water volume and quality for decades.",
