Water
The Australian minerals industry has a long-standing commitment to responsible water stewardship. Water is recognised as a shared resource with multiple social, cultural, environmental and economic value to all Australians.
Water availability and security of supply is a critical issue for the minerals industry as an essential input to mining and minerals processing and maintaining safety.
No other industry’s water use is more heavily assessed and regulated. The industry acquires water through water resources planning and entitlement regimes, state government environmental and planning approvals, Independent Expert Scientific Committee review and specific approval under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The industry is a global leader in water use transparency. Through the MCA, the industry developed a sector leading MCA Water Accounting Framework User Guide 2.0 2022 (WAF), which is used globally and reflected in international reporting standards.
The industry is working together to improve water stewardship, from corporate leadership and governance, including TSM , new technologies and practices at operations.
Industry partnerships with landholders, catchment management groups, Traditional Owners and other businesses is an increasing focus, leading to improved community outcomes and a more resilient environment.
