Free webinar: Balancing water sources, stakeholder expectations and site safety
Explore the critical role of water management in supporting safe, sustainable and efficient mining operations.
About this event
Water management is a critical challenge for modern mining operations, influencing safety, environmental performance, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency and community trust. As mining companies face increasing pressure to demonstrate responsible water stewardship, professionals must balance operational requirements with environmental and stakeholder expectations throughout the mine lifecycle.
The session will also introduce AusIMM's Associate Certificate in Water Management, facilitated by Dr. Cherie D. McCullough. Designed specifically for the mining sector, the course helps participants develop the skills needed to support responsible and effective water management across operations.
