Mine water chemistry usually differs significantly from the chemistry of ground and surface water. In this session the problems encountered with developing appropriate field sampling protocols, selection and deployment of real time monitors, laboratory analysis techniques and selection of tracers will be explored. It will also include modelling the results and consideration of legal and funding issues associated with long term monitoring after operations cease. The session also covers general aspects of mine water.
