Tech for sustainability available NOW

17 August 2023

There is no doubt community awareness and concern with climate change is growing; dramatic floods and catastrophic fires remind us that things are different now…It would be easy to panic.

However, in my world of environmental monitoring, the recent months have provided great reason for hope. The One Basin CRC brought together many of our finest engineers and scientists at Lake Hume (a beautiful place) to adopt the processes needed to solve the future of the Murray Darling Basin and irrigated agriculture. In addition, recent presenters in the HydroTerra webinar series have shown us some readily available technologies capable of reducing the waste sector greenhouse gas emissions through improved landfill gas extraction systems, and biochar production. And at the recent AusIMM mining conference we learnt there’s multiple new technology driven solutions to improve sustainability in mining.

We’ve been doing our bit too, developing a new range of integrated modular systems which we’re excited to launch in the coming weeks.

My message is that we have the technology to be vastly more sustainable than we are currently, let’s get on and implement it!

New tech revolutionises acid mine drainage monitoring

17 August 2023


Acid mine drainage (AMD) poses a significant environmental challenge, especially in mining operations where sulphide minerals are abundant.  When these minerals are exposed to air and water during mining, they react to form sulfuric acid, which dissolves harmful metals and metalloids, leading...

Monitoring the interactions of groundwater & surface water in mining

17 August 2023


The multilevel system essentially combines 3 to 7 monitoring wells into the one. This system has many pros: Firstly, it is a lot cheaper than drilling and installing multiple bores; and secondly, it allows for samples and standing water levels to be taken from multiple aquifers, allowing greater knowledge on...
