“From a water-management perspective, we have to ensure that
the mining companies implement remedial measures towards final
closure that will not only facilitate environmentally and socially
sustainable future land use, but also secure a water use that will
support such land use. The mines must carry the costs of closure
measures, even if they are no longer operational, since it is their
mining activities that have created the pollution hazard by
exposing chemically-active rock formations to large volumes of
water.”
