Water

Coal & Allied's operations use water for coal processing, dust suppression and truck washing. On site, water is segregated into different qualities to enable greater water recycling and minimise the contamination of water. In-pit mine water is recycled and used as much as possible across sites.

We value water as a precious resource and are committed to responsibly managing our water input and outputs. 

At each of its operations Coal & Allied has put in place water management programmes designed to reduce water consumption and improve the quality of water that is returned to the environment.
