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.
