Strategic Water Services
The Water Services Group aims to provide support to businesses at all stages of the mining cycle from exploration through to production and final closure. To reduce project risk, it is critical that mineral operations manage water as a  key asset with economic, social and environmental value.

Prior to approval, groundwater and surface water assessments are required to determine the potential impacts of the project on the water resource and other users, including the environment.  If well planned, these assessments can reveal efficiencies and ensure a smooth approvals process.

During operations, water monitoring and management is required to ensure continued access to water for production and growth, to reduce operating costs, to improve environmental outcomes and to reduced environmental risk.
