<h2>Managed Aquifer Recharge in Mining</h2>Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) involves recharging an aquifer under controlled conditions and incorporates various approaches including water injection through wells into unconfined, semi-confined and confined aquifers using gravity or pressure systems, as well as infiltration of water from basins and trenches into unconfined aquifers. MAR is an increasingly important tool for mine water management both in terms of disposing of surplus water and storing water for later recovery and use. MAR is increasingly also being used as a means to mitigating environmental impacts related to mine operation and closure. Inspired by feedback received from our members, IAH WA has been busy pulling together a “Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) in Mining” day seminar with the aim to aligning the WA mining industry, consultants and regulators with a unified understanding of existing MAR operations/challenges, current approvals processes and Traditional Owner engagement.We have gathered an expert team from across the state to provide a forum for sharing with you their vast knowledge and experiences with large scale MAR schemes within Australia and overseas. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear about technical and regulatory successes and lessons learnt from nearly two decades of operations in the Pilbara as well as other major MAR projects. Please refer to the event schedule for further details around presenters and presentation highlights.IAH would like to acknowledge the significant contributions from Doug Brown (Darkwater Consulting) and Karen Johnston (Managed Recharge) in pulling together this event.
