This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
In this presentation, Director/Principal Consulting Engineer, Damian Connelly elaborates on issues surrounding water management in Australia, especially in terms of availability, conservation and the high cost of water. He also covers three different solutions by looking closely at key magnetite projects including Citic Pacific Magnetite Project, Karara Magnetite Project, and Southdown Magnetite Project.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

14. Key Water Supply Risks
– Security of water supply and management is an increasingly important
investment factor for the mining industry
– Estimated global water withdrawal for mining is 7 to 9 km3/a (GWI 2011)
• Compare to annual national freshwater withdrawal in Canada of 42 km3/a
or Germany of 47 km3/a
Risk Considerations
Water scarcity Mine requirements compete with other water users
Management of excess water Flooding and subsequent damage
Poor management of water quality Tailings, environmental degradation
Inefficient water use Increased withdrawal rates, cost impacts

18. Treating Mine Wastewater
Case 1: Mine Dewatering System
Background
– Copper — nickel mine
operated from late 1960s to
early 1980s
– Mine shut down due to
market conditions
– Mine pits and mine shaft
flooded to surface
– Plan to re-open mine —
currently in the advanced
exploration phase
19. Treating Mine Wastewater
Case 1: Mine Dewatering System
Scope of Work
– Assess existing surface and groundwater
quality
– Develop a mine dewatering and treatment
strategy, including
• Design dewatering system — 30,000
m3/day
• Design water treatment system to remove
elevated metal concentrations to meet
discharge limits of receiving water
environment
• Develop preliminary cost estimates and
schedule
– Develop implementation plan

21. Treating Mine Wastewater
Case 1: Mine Dewatering System
Challenges
– Site works — there is little existing infrastructure at the site (electrical,
structural, etc.)
– Temporary design — all equipment and infrastructure designed to be easily
removable when they are no longer needed
– Unknown water quality — water quality at lower depths of mine pits and shaft
is unknown
– Flexible process concept required due to varying flows during dewatering and
future mine operations
– Remote location — limited availability of resources (chemicals, equipment
parts, etc.) and limited availability of trained operators

Case 2: Giant Mine Remediation — Yellowknife, NWT
Background
– Gold mine started operating in late 1940s, closed in
2004.
– In 2005, Government of NWT and Canada agreed
to remediate and maintain the mine
– Arsenic trioxide dust (mine by-product) is stored
underground. Permafrost was supposed to keep
storage areas dry. Permafrost is receding, resulting
in groundwater movement and seepage from
storage areas
– Current wastewater treatment system operates
seasonally to treat contaminated water. Effluent
currently meets MMER
23. Treating Mine Wastewater
Case 2: Giant Mine Remediation — Yellowknife, NWT
– Characterize the treated water
