Catchment Management Runoff Modelling
Catchment management in open cut mining aims to divert rainfall and stream flow away from mining areas.

As mining works progress, surface flow characteristics are altered.
Hydrological engineers must be aware of what changes are occurring so as to avoid unexpected inflows.

Periodic definition of surface runoff characteristics allows engineers to identify inflow problems before they occur.
This image highlights areas where simple earthworks may be used to divert large watersheds away from mining operations.
