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.

《礦井水與環(huán)境》創(chuàng)刊于1981年(作為《國際礦井水雜志》)，它提出了與評價(jià)、預(yù)測、預(yù)防或控制采礦作業(yè)中的水問題及其對環(huán)境的影響有關(guān)的技術(shù)問題和實(shí)際問題的獨(dú)到見解。該雜志和它的讀者都是跨學(xué)科的。發(fā)表的論文傳達(dá)了該領(lǐng)域的研究人員和實(shí)踐者的新技術(shù)信息。覆蓋范圍包括實(shí)驗(yàn)室和現(xiàn)場實(shí)驗(yàn)、建模工作、相關(guān)現(xiàn)場的研究、新技術(shù)的技術(shù)評估和工程應(yīng)用。
