Water Balance Modelling in Melbourne

Integrated Water Balance Modelling & Simulation

While designing solutions for water treatment for a project, we understand that the effective water management on a mine site requires an integrated approach that breaks down the silos between process engineers, tailings engineers, and hydrogeologists.

At GWC, our models are built on the fundamental law of conservation of mass.

$$Inflow = Outflow \pm \Delta Storage$$

The GoldSim Framework

We utilise the GoldSim simulation package to provide a dynamic, probabilistic framework for water and mass balance.

Life-of-Mine (LoM) Predictions

Understanding water supply demands and storage requirements across the entire project lifecycle.

Stochastic Modelling

Using Monte Carlo simulations (50 to 5000 realisations) to quantify risks related to climatic variability, such as the probability of environmental spill or water shortage.

Climate Integration

Modelling rainfall as a stochastic element (assuming a gamma distribution) to address extreme wet and dry weather scenarios.

Mine Closure & Pit Lake Modelling

Predicting the final equilibrium water level of a pit lake is essential for closure planning. Our models help determine if a pit lake will act as a terminal sink, where evaporation potential prevents mine water overflow and protects the surrounding environment.

What Are The Benefits of The GWC Approach?

Transparency

Graphical model structures that are easily explained to decision-makers and regulators.

Versatility

The integration of multiple data streams, including process water sources, sump operations, and tailings decant.

Real-Time Decisions

Our models can be delivered as self-contained GoldSim Player files for on-site operational use.
