GroundWater And Environment

KAGARA provides a full range of environmental services for the mining industy to support mine development and overcome contamination issues. Our expertise covers acid rock drainage assessment, seepage control, and groundwater modeling, ensuring environmental compliance and long-term mine sustainability.

1.Acid Rock Evaluation and Modeling

KAGARA performs acid rock drainage (ARD) evaluation and predictive modeling to assess the potential for acid generation and metal leaching from mine materials. Using static and kinetic tests (such as NAPP, NAG, and humidity cell tests), we classify waste rock and tailings according to their acid-generating potential. Our modeling approach integrates geochemical and hydrogeological data to predict drainage quality, optimize waste handling, and design effective mitigation strategies such as encapsulation and neutralization systems.

Key Deliverables:

  • ARD potential mapping and classification

  • Long-term prediction of leachate quality

  • Design of prevention and treatment systems

2.Seepage Control and Contamination Assessment

KAGARA provides seepage control and contamination assessment to evaluate and manage the migration of pollutants through soil and groundwater systems. We use hydrogeological surveys, permeability testing, and contaminant tracing to identify seepage pathways and quantify the risk of contaminant transport. Our experts design liner systems, drainage layers, and cutoff walls to prevent seepage from tailings storage facilities, waste dumps, and process ponds.

Key Deliverables:

  • Site characterization for seepage flow and contamination

  • Design of impermeable barriers and containment systems

  • Risk assessment and mitigation plans for environmental protection

3.Groundwater Flow and Containment Transport Modeling

KAGARA conducts groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling using advanced numerical simulation tools to understand subsurface hydrodynamics. These models are used to predict groundwater levels, flow directions, and contaminant migration patterns under various operational and climatic conditions. By integrating field monitoring data and geological models, KAGARA helps clients design dewatering systems, evaluate remediation effectiveness, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Key Deliverables:

  • 2D and 3D numerical modeling of groundwater flow

  • Contaminant plume simulation and risk prediction

  • Design support for dewatering and remediation systems

4.Water Balance Modeling

Kagara Mining’s Water Balance Modeling optimizes mine water management, simulating flow and storage to enhance efficiency and ensure environmental compliance.

5.Planing for Tailings and Water Management

Kagara Mining provides sustainable tailings and water management, ensuring safety, efficiency, environmental compliance, and reducing operational risks effectively.
