Read authoritative articles, technical papers, and presentations on a wide range of resource development and environmental issues.
The presentation focuses on the role of water in mining operations and pit slope stability, and on how collaboration between hydrogeologists and geotechnical engineers influences the quality of engineering decisions.
Learn MoreAdrian Lechel speaks about his new method for measuring transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity that is cost-effective and gives quick answers that compare well to pumping tests.
Learn MoreHydrogeological studies of wetlands in the Altiplano of northern Chile (SVAHT) are presented, which characterize aquifers and water chemistry in order to understand their dynamics, the origin of water inputs, and their vulnerability to industrial activities.
The rapid progress of West Wits Mining’s Qala Shallows – South Africa’s first gold mine in 15 years – has been underpinned by a multidisciplinary due diligence study conducted by SRK Consulting in the second half of 2025.
In the mining sector – where water can represent both a vital input and a major operational risk- the ability to understand, quantify and forecast water flows is essential. However, many operations still underestimate the power of a well-developed water balance.
