MINEDW is a three-dimensional (3D), finite-element, groundwater flow program that was developed specifically for mining applications. MINEDW is used worldwide to design dewatering or depressurization systems, predict local and regional environmental impacts of mine dewatering, assist in the design of water-supply systems, simulate the infilling of a “pit lake” after mining ceases, and estimate pore-pressure distributions within highwalls for geotechnical design purposes. Its user friendly graphical interface with pre- and post-processing functionality provides a powerful numerical modeling environment.

Developed from FEMFLOW3D, MINEDW was validated by Sandia National Laboratories in 1998 and has been used at more than 75 mines world wide in diverse hydrogeologic and climatic conditions.

• Simule l'exploitation minière à ciel ouvert et souterraine pour la conception d'assèchement et l'entrée dans l'analyse de la stabilité des pentes;
  
• Représentations graphiques 3D de la géologie, du domaine, de la géométrie de la fosse, des débits des eaux souterraines et des pressions interstitielles;
• Simule l'excavation et le remplissage subséquent d'un lac de mine pour représenter différents schémas d'exploitation; et
• Simule l'interaction entre les eaux souterraines et les eaux de surface.
