About Water in Mining
Water management is increasingly becoming a strategic business imperative within boardrooms across international mining organizations.
Water management is integral for mining success and for building a sustainable business. Investors, communities, governments and other industries are demanding that mining companies become more efficient at water reuse and water management.
The result is that water stewardship practices are more prevalent than ever before and that mining companies are working closely with communities to better access, preserve and treat water.
The 2020 Water in Mining Conference brings together water management leaders from the top 50 global mining companies to network, debate and discuss the present and future of water in mining.
