Monitoring process ponds a critical component of mine water management.
For decades, mines have been dealing with their waste by disposing of tailings in a pond. Today, the materials in these tailing ponds are seen as valuable and potentially usable. If mines extract them, they can use them. By using standard existing technologies such as dredges, dewatering bags and, gravity filtration systems in different ways, mines are then able to recover these materials and recycle them back into the process, or, as raw material. They are essentially brought back to life to become a valuable commodity… not waste.
