Project Purpose

The Čukaru Peki Project involved a detailed hydrometeorological analysis for a planned mine development. The purpose of the report was to provide a comprehensive characterization of water resources suitable for feasibility-level engineering design of structures and systems related to water management.

Project Scope and Methodology

1. Data Collection and Analysis
- Regional Climate Data: Analyzed regional climate data, including precipitation, temperature, shortwave radiation, and wind, to understand long-term weather patterns and their impact on mine water resource management.
- Streamflow Data Analysis: Examined regional streamflow data to assess water availability and variability.
- Quality Assurance Review: Conducted a detailed quality assurance review of in situ monitoring data collected by others to ensure accuracy and reliability.

2. Hydrometeorological Characterization
- Water Resource Assessment: Characterized water resources in the project area, focusing on availability, quality, and seasonal variations.

3. Integration with Engineering Design
- Report Preparation: Summarized the analysis and findings in a detailed report.
- Seamless Integration: Ensured the report seamlessly integrated with structural and geotechnical design efforts, providing essential data for engineering decision-making.
- Support for Subsequent Works: Highlighted the importance of the hydrometeorological analysis in supporting subsequent engineering works related to water balance and tailings management.

Project Outcomes

• Comprehensive Water Resource Characterization: Delivered a thorough characterization of water resources, crucial for the feasibility-level engineering design of water management systems.

This project successfully provided the hydrometeorological foundation needed for the detailed engineering design of the Čukaru Peki mine development, supporting sustainable and efficient water management solutions.
