Drowning in the incompetence of water affairs - William Saunderson-Meyer (as published in www.thoughtleader.co.za)

Acid Mine Drainage

Pristine River - Magaliesberg

What is Acid Mine Drainage?

Acid water is formed underground when old shafts and tunnels fill up. The water oxidises with the sulphide mineral iron pyrite, better known as fool's gold. The water then fills the mine and starts decanting into the environment, in a process known as acid mine drainage. In 2002 acid mine drainage had started decanting from the Western Basin, located below the Krugersdorp-Randfontein area.
