Institutional, Legal & Financial Aspects of Regional Mine Water Collection, Treatment and Re-use
Review of ownership models, licensing and funding for a shared regional mine water treatment scheme on the Mpumalanga coalfields, written for mine managers and water regulators.
by Golder Associates | October 2004
A regional scheme to collect, treat and re-use mine water in the Upper Olifants River Catchment has merit, with the mines best placed to start it through a dedicated mine water company that brings in the water services authorities. Water legislation supports the scheme provided the regulator allocates mine water as a resource. Viability rests on the tariffs mines and water users pay.

Microgravity, resistivity based methods including self potential, and time domain electromagnetics are identified as able to detect and delineate shallow old workings, with controlled source audio magnetotellurics useful below about 30 metres. How well each performs depends on target depth, the material filling the void and the overburden, and has never been quantified. Field trials were planned to close that gap.
