Title:

Flood assessments for the Gawib River at Langer Heinrich Uranium Mine

Author(s):
Metago Environmental Engineers
Publication Year:
2008
Abstract:

Langer Heinrich Uranium mine (LHU) is located approximately 85km WNW of Walvis Bay, Namibia. The ore body is located in a paleochannel which for the most part tracks the course of the Gawib River. Mining of the ore body must, of necessity, take place in the river channel. Management of flood water is essential in order to minimise contamination of fresh water as well as to minimise the impact on mining production.
