Anglo American has appointed to Verterra to advance landform rehabilitation outcomes across its Australian coal mining sites.

With Australia's population projected to increase by between 62% and 113% by 2061, and climate extremes being experienced countrywide, it has never been more important than now to re-evaluate approaches to cost effective and sustainable urban water supply management.

 Millions of dollars are invested annually in activities to improve the condition of aquatic ecosystems throughout Australia. However, often there is a lack of evidence to prioritise and guide the design of these interventions and/or demonstrate the impact or effectiveness of these investments. 

Dr. Evan Thomas, who wrote the article on improving the sustainability and cost effectiveness of urban water supplies brings over 30 years' experience in land and natural resource management to Verterra.

Sustainable closure of coal mines in Australia remains one of the industry's biggest environmental challenges.
