《矿井水与环境》创刊于1981年(作为《国际矿井水杂志》)，它提出了与评价、预测、预防或控制采矿作业中的水问题及其对环境的影响有关的技术问题和实际问题的独到见解。该杂志和它的读者都是跨学科的。发表的论文传达了该领域的研究人员和实践者的新技术信息。覆盖范围包括实验室和现场实验、建模工作、相关现场的研究、新技术的技术评估和工程应用。
Founded in 1981 (as the International Journal of Mine Water), Mine Water and the Environment presents original contributions addressing technical questions and practical issues related to the evaluation, prediction, prevention, or control of water problems at mining operations or their impact on the environment. Both the journal and its audience are interdisciplinary. Published papers convey new technical information by and for researchers and practitioners in this field. Coverage includes laboratory and field experiments, modeling efforts, studies of relevant field sites, technical evaluations of new technology, and engineering applications.
