Aquatic ecosystems as a post-mining land use

Water infrastructure such as clean water storages, sediment ponds and residual mine voids are often left in place after mining. Water infrastructure can potentially provide aquatic habitat, host functional and sustainable aquatic ecosystems and provide ecosystem services. The Office of the Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner is undertaking work to consider what the attributes of a viable ecosystem are and how aquatic habitat or ecosystem services may be demonstrated.
