Introduction

Water is a fundamental consideration for mining and mineral processing operations. The supply, management and disposal of water are becoming increasingly important, particularly in Australia.

Course Benefits

Understanding of the variability of quantity, quality and management of water resources is critical for meeting the water resource management challenges present in many operations.
Participants in this course will gain an understanding of water requirements (consumption and quality) across an operating mine, be able to analyse existing water infrastructure and contribute to the improvement of water management on a mine site or mineral processing plant.
Attendees are provided with comprehensive course notes on CD covering the basic theoretical and practical aspects of water management. This will serve as a valuable resource for later reference.
