Zaalklapspruit Wetland Before and After Rehabilitation
Field assessment of a wetland in the Mpumalanga coalfields, drawing on water chemistry and biological indicators, aimed at mining companies and licensing authorities.
by CSIR Natural Resources and the Environment | February 2015
Ecological integrity of a Mpumalanga wetland affected by coal mining was assessed before and after rehabilitation, using water quality, bacterial consortium, freshwater algae and vegetation indicators. The work sits within a wider programme to give the coal sector and regulators practical ways of limiting and mitigating mining impacts on wetlands.

Conventional cost accounting at the mines studied could not report on physical structure or materials flow, so environmental costs such as water, energy and consumables stayed hidden and chances to cut them were lost. Four case studies across different commodities and mining methods showed the same limitations. An environmental management accounting model is proposed to identify and allocate those costs.

Builds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress. The work examines how salaries, production bonuses and safety bonuses are graded and distributed across employee categories, how workers perceive that distribution, and whether incentives in practice motivate production and safe working. Stress and morale are treated as measures of wellbeing.
