PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP 2015
31
MAY
MODELLING MINE SITE HYDROLOGY IN A CATCHMENT CONTEXT
OVERVIEW
On May 31, 2015, DHI will hold a one-day workshop
arranged in conjunction with the International Conference
“Mine Closure 2015” to take place in Vancouver, Canada,
June 1-3, 2015. The pre-conference workshop delves into
the basics of integrated hydrology and modelling at mine
sites. The workshop will look at the assumptions, limitations
and practicalities of building and deploying a MIKE SHE
model at your mine site. The workshop will provide a lively
forum for learning and debate. It will benefit a large cross-section of mine water
managers and staff.
DHI’s MIKE SHE allows you to simulate the linkages and feedbacks between
groundwater, surface water, infiltration and ET in a way that no other software is
capable of. Modelling projects at mine sites around the world have shown the utility
of using fully integrated modelling to understand the complex interactions and
feedbacks between groundwater, surface water and land use change. Failure to
understand these feedbacks can lead to sub-optimal environmental impacts,
dewatering, and closing planning. Sub-optimal decisions are generally more
expensive and have higher environmental burdens.
The hydrology at a mine site does not stop at the property boundary. Mines are an
integral part of a catchment. Catchment wide and mine site hydrology are interlinked.
Likewise, groundwater and surface water have been traditionally treated separately,
but, in fact, they are tightly coupled. Thus, integrated catchment modelling is
becoming an essential part of the modelling toolkit at mine sites around the world.
ORGANISER
This workshop is arranged as part of the pre
-conference programme of the 10th
International Conference on mine closure
“Mine Closure 2015” to take place in
Vancouver, Canada, June 1-3, 2015.

network opportunities
 Learn from practical applications within
the areas of mining and integrated
catchment modelling and management

THE ACADEMY BY DHI
THE ACADEMY offers a palette of courses and capacity building packages designed to fit your
needs and challenges. Our training courses are offered as standard and/or as tailored training.
MIKE by DHI courses focus on practical skills, hands-on exercises and on teaching you how to
get the most out of your software.
Thematic courses allow you to apply concepts, applications and decision support principles to
the entire business process within current areas such as aquaculture & agriculture, energy,
climate change, flooding, coast & marine, surface & groundwater, urban water, industry,
environment & ecosystems, product safety & environmental risk, etc.
MIKE CUSTOMISED by DHI courses enable you to understand the power of the MIKE
CUSTOMISED tools for building decision support systems.
