Centre for Water in the Minerals Industry

CWiMI aims to be recognised as a leading research centre for supporting sustainable management of water in the minerals and energy industries

Founded in 2004, SMI’s Centre for Water in the Minerals Industry (CWiMI) conducts research to achieve sustainable water management in mining and gas projects and regions. We contribute to solving a range of problems covering engineering, environmental and social challenges of water management. We engage with a wide range of research organisations and water stakeholders in Australia and internationally. We are funded principally by regional and national governments, and selected mining and gas companies who are committed to sustainability performance.
