Three products, at basin scale, through 2050.
Best-case, worst-case, and mid-range water-availability paths for each basin, with associated risk metrics tied to thresholds that matter to mine water balance.
Supports infrastructure investment, water-rights and water-trading planning.
Year 2
Monsoon-driven projections of extreme daily precipitation and flash-flood risk, aimed at pit flooding, tailings stability, and acid mine drainage exposure.
Supports operational risk management, tailings design, worker and community safety.
Year 2 into year 3
A written risk assessment with water-management guidance, integrating the winter and summer results and refined through advisory-circle feedback.
Supports permitting, regulatory engagement, long-term adaptation planning.
Year 3
Mining is water-intensive, while the West faces recurring water scarcity interspersed with floods and extreme precipitation.
