Description
Like all other industries, mining companies need water to make bare rock give up its valuable minerals. However, since modern society has almost finished exploiting its water resources, will water resource limitations curtail the mining industry operations? This panel will explore the use of water resources in the mining industry and will try to answer questions such as:
- Should water resources be restricted in their application in the mining industry?
- How can water use in the mining industry be made more sustainable?
- Are there alternative methods to avoid or limit the use of water resources in the mining industry?
