ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Coal mining is a process which negatively affects the environment and public health. For instance, shaft waters management is a common problem for Platform towns, which can cause severe ecologic consequences (soil pollution, underground and ground water reservoirs contamination, etc.), if not settled.
Platform for Sustainable Development considers and processes two perspective variants of shaft waters management:
– refining and using them as industrial water, or even potentially supplying it through water system; – using them for heat generation.
