Hatch Part 2: Why Water Is the Most Critical Resource in Modern Mining #380
Water management has become an increasingly important part of modern mining, influencing everything from operational efficiency and regulatory compliance to environmental performance and long-term project viability. As climate variability, permitting requirements, and stakeholder expectations continue to evolve, many mining companies are taking a more strategic approach to managing water throughout the life of a mine.
In this Mining NOW episode recorded at CIM CONNECT, host Rory Bamford speaks with Amanda Alaica-Ciosek, Industrial Water Engineer at Hatch, about the growing role of integrated water management in mining operations.
The discussion explores how comprehensive water strategies can support operational performance while helping reduce environmental risk and improve regulatory outcomes. Topics include predictive water modeling, treatment technologies, site-wide water balance planning, and engineering approaches designed to improve water use across different stages of mining projects.
Amanda also shares perspectives from projects involving organizations such as Vale, BHP, and Newmont, illustrating how integrated water management strategies are being applied across a range of commodities and operating environments, including nickel, potash, and gold operations.
For professionals involved in mine planning, environmental management, water engineering, and sustainable mining, this episode offers valuable insight into how effective water management is helping support safer, more resilient, and more efficient mining operations.
