This survey seeks to gather information on how the mining industry can improve water management solutions. Using technology, community consultation and more efficient processes, much water can be saved for greater environmental outcomes.
The mining industry extracted 1411 gigalitres (GL) of water in 2021–22 (ABS) – almost as much as the total supplied to households in the same year.
While this total was only a fraction of the country’s total, it remains an unimaginably large volume and requires responsible water management.
For argument’s sake, 1411GL equals more than 31,000 Sydney Harbours. Needless to say, this survey is more than a drop in the ocean – your voice matters to the industry and the data will be used to develop more effective water management technologies.
Presented by Australian Mining and Black & Veatch, the survey targets a wide audience, from engineers to C-Suite decision makers, and it will uncover the drivers, opportunities and challenges of water management in mining.
Thank for your participation, which will be rewarded with a first look at the Water Management for Mining Report released later this year.
