In water-constrained locations around the world, the mining industry must justify its use of water in direct competition with other users. We understand that water is not only integral to our operations, it is a vital resource for nearby local communities and natural ecosystems. As a result, we invest significant resources to understand and appropriately manage the water resources in the areas where we mine, ensuring that stakeholder interests and concerns with respect to water management are identified and addressed to the best of our ability.
