Vision

Future topic: Mine Water - water in mining and mining situations

In nearly all parts of the world mining activities influence water:

• Water must be lifted to enable mining
  
• Water can be the basis for special mining technologies (e.g. in-situ leaching)
  
• Water is necessary for mining and processing of unearthed raw materials
  
• Water is contaminated by mining activities

Aims of the Mine Water Research Center Freiberg

• Initiation of interdisciplinary research
• Initiation of junior research groups
• Performance of training events (summerschools, lab-courses)
