Mine Water Solutions Conference 2018
An innovative conference examining the societal, financial, business and technical impacts of water-related issues in mining. The event provides a forum for experts to discuss successful practices enabling responsible mining in challenging environments.
The Mine Water Solutions Conference 2018 represents the third iteration of this specialized mining industry event, co-hosted by the University of British Columbia and the Mine Water Solutions organizing committee. The conference addresses one of the mining industry's most critical operational challenges: water management in complex environments. Attendees can expect comprehensive coverage of technical solutions, financial considerations, business strategies, and societal impacts related to mine water issues. The program includes presentations from industry experts sharing successful case studies and best practices that demonstrate how responsible mining can be achieved even in the most challenging water environments. A key highlight of the conference is the inclusion of field trips to nearby mining operations, providing participants with hands-on learning opportunities and real-world examples of water management solutions in action. This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application makes the event particularly valuable for mining professionals, environmental consultants, regulatory officials, and academics working on water-related mining challenges. The conference serves as a critical knowledge-sharing platform in an industry where water management increasingly determines project viability and social license to operate.
