About this event

Dear Mine Water Professionals, Croeso

We are delighted and honoured to host the International Mine Water Association (IMWA) Conference from 17 – 21 July 2023 at ICC Wales in Newport.

Our minerals sector once supplied coal, slate and metals globally. Whilst there remains limited exploitation of reserves, we retain numerous collieries, open cast mines and quarries plus over 1300 abandoned metal mines that impact over 700 km of river reaches.

As public bodies here, must now work together to improve our environment to deliver multiple benefits to protect the long term, we wish to share our ambitions with you.

For a small country, we like to aim high and punch above our weight. In our Non-Coal Mines Programme, we have been trialling new techniques and wish to share them with you.

We really hope that you will join us and that we will be able to provide a warm Welsh welcome to as many of you as possible over the course of the week.

Hwyl fawr, Best wishes and Glückauf

Peter Stanley
