�鶹��ý��s Paul Kos and Chris Jaros talk with Global Mining Review about stream restoration in mine reclamation

Historic mine water management regulations were based on preventing erosion during mine closure, meaning natural restoration methods were limited. Today, the regulations do allow for limited erosion, which is good for restoring a water system using?nature-based solutions?(NbS). Chris and Paul talk about the cost, benefits, and challenges of nature-based approaches to mine water management. They also outline the components of a restored stream and share successful case studies in Colorado��s watershed.?
