Water Stewardship

Water stewardship is a key area of focus for the mining industry, and sustainable water management practices need to be incorporated into designs at all phases of the mine lifecycle from feasibility to relinquishment. Okane follows a catchment-based approach to water management, designing landforms that minimize contact with water and maximize source term control. We apply our expertise in site-specific climate change risk assessment to develop integrated surface water and groundwater models, so that the water management strategies we recommend address potential multigenerational risk and long-term adaptive management.
