Topics
The following topics will be covered in the MWRC
Mining management 
- drainage, storage, transport, distribution, cost-benefit analysis
- watershed management by means of digital acquisition and optimization techniques
- multiple use of water (recycling, sustainability)
- subsidence by drainage and removal
Modeling and Visualization
- groundwater flow, flooding of mining sites

Water Chemistry
- development of strategies to minimize sulphide oxidation
- process investigation, speciation techniques, sorption, reaction in pore spaces
- sensor development (environmental monitoring, process optimization)
Water treatment in mining and mining landscapes
- active technologies (membran processes, biological processes, liming, aeration)
- passive technologies (PRB's, reactive gases, microbiology, phytoremediation)
- slurry walls, clogging
Restoration and remediation of mining areas
- soils and landscape
water balance
- In-situ leaching, bioleaching, new concepts for small scale mining
