Every Project Has One Page, Wherever It Belongs
CEEC’s projects turn priorities into practical outputs: reports, frameworks, case studies and tools the industry can use. Some sit inside a single initiative, others run across several.

Water Knowledge Baseline
Phase 3 to Dec 2026
Water
Global Water Initiative
Captures and organises existing knowledge on mine water management, so effort is not duplicated and the real research gaps are visible.
Phase 3 adds
Latin America coverage, snow and glacier hydrology, flood and debris-flow risk, water supply
Partner
UQ Sustainable Minerals Institute
Supported by
Agnico Eagle and Weir
