Integrated Sustainable Water Management in Mining for Development in the Philippines
It is globally recognised that existing and emerging mining activities should be conducted in a sustainable' manner for the entire life of mine. Many companies annually publish corporate sustainability reports to demonstrate their actions in accordance with international expectations. This concept of sustainable mining practices also applies to mine water management, with influences often extending beyond site operations, affecting surrounding catchments and community users. This paper explores differences in conceptual and operational terms of sustainable' mine water management within the Philippines. Outcomes of a review of corporate sustainability reports, governance documentation, research programs, and stakeholder knowledge acquired through action-research workshops are presented. The paper aims to inform and support future capacity building exercises delivered by the International Mining for Development Centre (IM4DC), with outcomes tailored to government officials and policy makers of developing countries. The project is funded by IM4DC, which is working with AusAID to identify needs and develop capacity with regard to mining for development; specifically, issues pertaining to governance and regulation, social and environmental sustainability, and operational effectiveness in developing countries.CITATION:Bansuan, A M, Goater, S E, Danoucaras, A N and Hearne, D, 2012.
