Water Balance in Mining and Tailings: From Operation to Closure
Fundamentals of water balance modelling in the mining industry, focusing on tailings facilities
About
This webinar provides a practical introduction to water balance modelling in mining, with a focus on tailings facilities and site-wide water management. The session will explore how water balance models are used to support design, operations, and closure planning, drawing on real-world applications and case studies from the mining sector. Attendees will gain insight into key considerations such as system behaviour, uncertainty, and long-term water management challenges. The webinar will also demonstrate how tools such as GoldSim can be applied to simulate complex water systems and support risk-informed decision-making across a range of mining scenarios.
