The IAEA is launching 4-year Coordinated Research Project (CRP) to improve capability and expertise among member states to use environmental isotope techniques to assess hydrological processes and their impact to guide and inform optimal water resources management around mining operations. Three types of mines will be covered in the CRP; new mines (in the planning stage), active (working) mines, and historical (not currently active) mines.

The objective of the CRP is to test and develop capabilities and nuclear methodologies based on the use of isotope hydrology tools for efficient water resources assessment and management in the mining areas in member states.
