Mine Water by P.L. Younger & Steven A. Banwart & Robert S. Hedin
Hydrology, Pollution, Remediation
Addressing the mine water issue, this book explains the complexities of mine water pollution by reviewing the hydrogeological context of its formation. It offers a presentation of prevention and treatment technologies. It is useful for professionals, who encounter polluted mine water on a regular or occasional basis.Nowhere is the conflict between economic progress and environmental quality more apparent than in the mineral extraction industries. The latter half of the 20th century saw major advances in the reclamation technologies. However, mine water pollution problems have not been addressed. In many cases, polluted mine water long outlives the life of the mining operation. As the true cost of long-term water treatment responsibilities has become apparent, interest has grown in the technologies that would decrease the production of contaminated water and make its treatment less costly. This is the first book to address the mine water issue head-on. The authors explain the complexities of mine water pollution by reviewing the hydrogeological context of its formation, and provide an up-to-date presentation of prevention and treatment technologies. The book will be a valuable reference for all professionals who encounter polluted mine water on a regular or occasional basis. |
