Mining Hydrogeology
Published on by Matthew Damhuis, Director at Alicanto Groundwater Solutions for Alicanto Groundwater Solutions
Groundwater often plays a crucial role in mining operations, from both an operational and environmental perspective.
Some of the aspects which can be influential during the life of mine include:
Operational Impacts of Groundwater
– Groundwater Supply to Operations
– Inflows to Mine Workings
– Open Pit Stability (Pore Pressure)
Environmental Impacts on Groundwater
– Dewatering of Local Aquifer Systems
– Groundwater Contamination
AGS can assist our clients throughout the mining life cycle, from exploration to closure and post-closure groundwater development and management.
Drawing from experience gained in multiple mining environments and varied groundwater conditions and mining methods,
