In the "VODAMIN II" project, Saxon and Czech partners have worked together on cross-border water protection in the assisted area of the Saxon-Czech border region. The focus was on the development of groundwater and surface water in the North Bohemian Basin and the Ore Mountains. In these regions, the chemical composition of the various water bodies is influenced by mine water that comes into contact with coal seams and ores, as well as by seepage water from already remediated tailings. Groundwater monitoring was used to assess the hazard potential and describe the current status. Depending on the temperature of the mine water, geothermal utilization may be an option. A corresponding potential was found for selected points and the technical process was optimized.
Using the example of an ore mine dump near Freiberg, the reduction of seepage water was investigated from a circular economy perspective and the remediation success of further dumps was evaluated. With regard to the opencast lignite mines in the North Bohemian Basin and the opencast mines in the Lusatian mining area in Germany, an exchange of experience on the interaction of water and mining remediation was promoted.
As part of the conference and the final workshop, we invite you to discuss the results and jointly develop perspectives for water protection in the Saxon-Czech border region.
