SUMMARY:Mine Water Solutions 2018
DESCRIPTION:THE CONFERENCE\n\n\nThe Mine Water Solutions 2018 organizing committee and the University of British Columbia are hosting the 3rd Annual Mine Water Solutions Conference (MWS2018) in Vancouver Canada from June 12th to 15th\, 2018. \nMine Water Solutions 2018 is the third innovative conference that will examine a wide range of water issues stretching through societal\, financial\, business and technical.  It includes topics like: water as an asset\, operational water management and managing water in different climatic settings. \nThe conference will provide a forum for presentation and discussion about successful practices that enable responsible mining to be undertaken in challenging environments. All aspects of mine water management\, including hydrology\, hydrogeology\, diversion\, containment\, conservation\, minimization of water-quality impacts\, seepage interception and treatment may be addressed. \nThe conference will be an opportunity for practitioners in the mine water field to discuss – research\, design\, equipment\, engineering\, operation and closure activities with the global mine water community. Papers from practitioners will be part of the conference proceedings. \n  \nConference themes include: \nWater as a Valued Asset \n\nCost/Value of Water\nOperational water efficiency\nWater quality for the water use\nFate of post-closure water\nOperational water as a component of basin wide water use and value\nHow society and other stakeholders value water\nSharing water with the community\n\nRegulatory and Social Challenges \n\nCreative water partnerships\nCreative solutions for mine/community water resource sharing\nWorking with local communities and regulators on water supply and quality issues\nOpportunities for Good Samaritan activities\nWater as a human right\nWater as a salve for conflict – mining’s social licence to operate\n\nOperational Water Management \n\nEvaluating the cost-benefit impact of adding reagents\nManaging hydromet circuits to reduce water storage and minimize water loss\nManaging dissolved salts accumulation – you have to take out what you put in\nManaging water usage for dust control\nDry processing alternatives\nWater reuse and recycling\nManaging water balances\nMine dewatering in wet environments\nApproaching “zero discharge” through limiting ingress\, regeneration\, reuse and recycling\nApproaching ‘zero intake’\nManaging water storage & minimizing treatment\nProcessing with sea water and recycled municipal waste water\n\nWater Treatment \n\nOptimizing water treatment for alternative uses\nNew business models for water treatment\nAlternative treatment of brines and saline waters\nPassive and active treatment approaches\nIn situ treatment approaches\nEvolving water quality standards & implications related to applicable water treatment technologies\nResidual waste stream management\nWater desalination\nTreatment costs\nProven vs. emerging technologies\nEvolving water quality standards & implications related to applicable water treatment technologies\n\nWater Management in Extreme Climates \n\nWater Management in Wet Areas\n\n\nPrecipitation\, prediction of flood conditions\nDiversion design\, erosion management & water control during extreme events\nWaste management & disposal challenges\, control of impacted waters\nMine and tailing closure to protect surface water & groundwater\nWater balance modeling\n\n\nWater Management in Dry Areas\n\n\nWater source efficiency / conservation & alternate water supply strategies\nTailings management to minimize water losses\n\n\nWater Management in Cold Areas (Glacial\, Periglacial and Permafrost)\n\n\nSeasonal effects on water management\nPermafrost characterization\, hydrology and water yields\nCold regions mine site hydrology & hydraulic issues\nGeochemistry issues in cold regions\nManaging permafrost impacts\nDam design\, operating practices & mine closure in cold environments\nMining close to glaciers\nMine dewatering in permafrost areas\nLegal & environmental aspects\nAccounting for freeze/thaw in the operating water balance\nHeap leaching in the far north\n\n\nWater Management and Climate Change\n\n\nIssues associated with la Niña / El Niño\nPrediction tools\, strengths\, weaknesses\, and regulatory requirements\nModeling climate change for operating and future mines\nClimate change modeling on regional and project specific scales\nWater management lessons learned from other industries\nContingency planning\nThe end of stasis: Uncertainty and the use of historical data to forecast future trends\nAddressing climate changes in EIAs permits and engineering design\nMitigation measures and monitoring\nWill current methods of estimating extreme floods be valid in the future?\n\nCharacterization and Prediction \n\nContaminant transport modeling and the implications of moving to transient modeling\nCapacity for reliable prediction vs. evolving regulatory regimes for EIA’s and permitting – how well have we been doing?\nRole for judgment in prediction / forecasting / uncertainty / decision making\nMaximizing ground water data collection methods in deep\, expensive drill holes\nMonitoring methods for deep systems\nGeochemical issues related to sampling from depth\nIsotope analysis for source and transport characterization\nGeophysical methods to enhance geological and hydrogeological characterization
