SRK Presentations:
Evaluation of the Effects of Climate Change on Water Infiltration on Thickened Tailings in the Atacama Region
Alonso Arriagada, Tiaren García-Pérez and José Riquelme
Motivated by the call from COP25 and the IPCC to assess adaptation and mitigation of effects and consequences of Climate Change, SRK Chile proposed to analyze the response of infrastructure associated with mining in northern Chile, considering General Circulation Models (GCM) downscaled for Atacama region at different elevations, based on the models considered by Chilean Water Directorate (DGA) in its Update of the National Water Balance of Chile (NWBC). This study considers Representative Concentration Pathways RCP 8.5 (most pessimistic scenario) as scenarios to evaluate, same as DGA – NWBC.
