Water Management
Transmin has had some notable success in facilitating integrated site wide water balances.
Transmin has had some notable success in facilitating integrated site wide water balances.
Site wide water balances for mining operations require inputs and outputs to be coordinated between many areas. The balances change with the seasons and change further with the operation development.
Mining, mineral processing, tailings management, services, community and environmental areas often have trouble getting alignment on frameworks, requirements and projections.
