Summary
This document is a draft written reply from the South African Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs to a National Assembly question posed by Dr H C van Schalkwyk regarding the use of lime for neutralisation and metal removal from mine water.
Key insights
- The Department of Water and Environmental Affairs is preparing an engineering solution for implementation that incorporates pumping and neutralisation based on recommendations from a team of experts, though full details of these solutions are not yet available for circulation.
- The Department states that specific details regarding the neutralisation process (which may include liming), institutional arrangements, project execution plans, and implementation costs will be contained within the forthcoming engineering solution.
- The Department declined to provide an assessment of how the potential large-scale use of lime for mine water treatment might affect lime availability for the agricultural sector.
