Driving The Mining Industry\u2019s Water Environmental Transition Through Innovation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Water-related challenges across the mining industry are significant and diverse, ranging from water scarcity to pollution and tailings management. Conflicts between competing water uses can exacerbate the problem and significantly impact local communities.<\/p>\n

The mining industry is experiencing mounting pressure to improve their water environmental transition. This includes recycling and reusing water where possible, in order to ensure the long term viability of water resources.<\/p>\n

There are up to 11,000 mining sites with urgent needs for effective water management in South Africa. However, there is a profound disconnect between the need for water innovations and the current market. Only a small number of mining companies have the budget and appetite for water innovation.<\/p>\n

Isle delivered a project identifying and assessing the drivers, barriers and enablers to water innovation uptake in the mining industry. Our team uncovered why emerging technologies struggle to enter the market easily, and forecast the market demand for innovation uptake. We delivered policy recommendations to our client, the Water Research Commission.<\/p>\n
