Excess mine water is no longer being considered a waste product and mining companies are looking for new solutions to manage their mine water. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is being increasingly adopted by the mining industry as a way of returning water from dewatering operations back to the source aquifers. Mine water may be re-injected at locations where it can benefit other groundwater users and the environment.
