Assessing the Sensitivity of Subsurface Mine-Dewatering Simulations to Surface Water Representation - Aquanty Webinar

We’re pleased to share the recording of our recent webinar, Assessing the Sensitivity of Subsurface Mine-Dewatering Simulations to Surface Water Representation. This session, presented by Dr. Andrea Brookfield (University of Waterloo), explores how climate change and surface water interactions can significantly influence mine dewatering strategies.

Through advanced integrated hydrologic modelling with HydroGeoSphere, the webinar demonstrates how fully coupled groundwater–surface water simulations can reveal dynamics that are often overlooked in industry-standard approaches. By comparing conventional groundwater-only models with fully integrated simulations under future climate scenarios, the study highlights important implications for mine water management.

Key Highlights:

  • Understand the limitations of traditional groundwater-only dewatering models.

  • Learn how fully coupled surface–subsurface modelling improves accuracy under changing climatic conditions.

  • Explore how future climate scenarios alter predicted mine dewatering rates.

  • See how integrated models provide more reliable insights for long-term water resource planning.

This session is especially relevant for mining professionals, water resource managers, and environmental consultants seeking to improve dewatering practices while accounting for climate uncertainty.

Watch the recording now to discover how integrated hydrologic modelling supports better-informed mine management strategies.
