Description

In this course, we focus on groundwater theory and practice applicable to mines and the specifics of open pits, shafts, underground mine workings, heap leach pads, waste rock dumps, and tailings impoundments. We discuss, for each of these facilities, the principles of groundwater and facility design & operation that apply and must be implemented to control and protect groundwater and surface water.

This course is one of a series of related courses, some of which are still in development, including

  • Groundwater in Mining
  • Surface Water Management at Mines
  • Mine Water Balance Analysis

I found the course interesting and informative, but it did contain a reasonable amount of personal opinion that some other practitioners might not fully agree with. Nonetheless the content is simply and competently presented.

I found this course to be very helpful. The content is great. I just started a new role in a large mine where my team includes the hydrogeology group and this course has been an excellent refresher to help me in this new role. My only suggestion is to add some more visual aids like videos and real pictures to help demonstrate the concepts better. Thanks a lot.
