Regular dam cleaning will prevent critical system failuresĪ typical mine water reticulation system consists of clarification (or settling), pumps, pipes and dams. Poor water management can lead to flooding in mine shafts. Our dedicated service delivery includes the cleaning of underground and surface mine dams, thereby improving water conservation and water demand management by the mines, to ensure that they are aligned with the National Water Management Strategy. Our intimate knowledge of mine service water reticulation systems has helped us to understand the impact and consequences of reduced reticulation capacity, which results from silted dams.

The silting of service water reticulation dams is a major problem faced by customers.

The ability to understand our customers’ water reticulation systems intimately, and to implement practical solutions, is a core competency of Watercare Mining. Watercare Mining has an esteemed reputation in the mining industry, built on our dedicated service delivery and focus on solving customer problems. As such, it is becoming critical for the industry to reduce its consumption of freshwater, and to improve its internal water reticulation systems. The mining industry is a major water consumer in South Africa. The National Water Management Strategy focuses strongly on Water Conservation and Water Demand Management (WCWDM). South Africa is listed as one of the top 50 water-stressed countries in the world.
