Proudly Supporting IMWA 2012
Workshops & Short Courses
Proposals for short courses and workshops are welcome to be submitted to the Organising Committee for consideration. These courses will be held prior to the Conference on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 September, 2012.
The objective of short courses and workshops is to introduce participants to best current practice and new developments in research, technology, and products for managing mine waters, or to provide a means for in-depth discussion of mine water topics. Short courses and workshops must be self-financed and must be financially viable. A decision on whether or not a tutorial or workshop will be conducted will be made on 30 May 2012.
Please send proposals to ICMS so that they can be passed onto the Organising Committee for consideration.

PBMO™ Decision Support Tool for Optimising Mine Dewatering
Presented by Dr Varut Guvanasen and Dr Larry M. Deschaine
HydroGeoLogic (HGL), Inc. will be presenting a pre-conference workshop at the International Mine Water Association (IMWA)'s 2012 Symposium in Bunbury - Western Australia (29th September 2012) on application of PBMO™ (Physics Based Management Optimisation) Tool for supporting mine dewatering operations. HGL is an engineering and technical services firm, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, USA. Since its inception, HGL has developed several advanced optimisation and modelling codes to support a wide range of water resources and environmental consulting projects. Their software products have been utilised by numerous users globally to analyse a wide variety of water resource and contamination problems. The PBMO™ integrates linear and non-linear management optimisation modules with MODFLOW-SURFACT/MODHMS, a complete simulator for flow and transport in the groundwater and surface water systems. The coupling of optimisation with modelling enables the user to optimally manage water resources and mining operations subject to practical constraints.
This workshop is suitable for mining geologists, engineers and scientists who are concerned about effective management of water resources and mitigation of surface and subsurface contaminant problems.
