TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe results of a simulation study designed to highlight the impacts of soil properties on water and solute transport from buried trickle emitters, and show that changing the fertigation strategy for highly permeable coarse-textured soils to apply nutrients at the beginning of an irrigation cycle can maintain larger amounts of nutrient near to and above the emitter.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of sustainable development principles for the disposal of mining and mineral processing wastes is presented, which can guide waste disposal decisions through the consideration of what risk and magnitude, in any given local context, a particular management solution poses to their application.

TL;DR: In the context of emerging debates about the status of access to water as a distinct human right and the mining industry's engagement with human rights discourses, the authors highlights points of disconnection between technical, scientific and engineering-based approaches to water management on the one hand and human rights perspectives on the other.

TL;DR: It is shown that 84% of platinum resources and 70% of cobalt resources are located in high-risk contexts, and major metals like iron and copper are set to disturb more land, reflecting heightened demand.

TL;DR: Results show that a simple systems model is an appropriate tool for assessing site performance, for providing guidance to improve performance through strategic planning, and for guiding adoption of site objectives.
