Water plays a critical role across open-pit mining, particularly for dust suppression. To manage the associated risks, Banpu has implemented a water management framework and site-specific strategies to control both water quality and quantity, supporting efficient and responsible water use across our mining operations.

At Indominco Mine, continuous improvement initiatives are focused on optimizing operational processes and conserving water by reducing freshwater consumption and managing acid mine drainage risks. Key measures include modifying water trucks with specialized equipment and integrating water reuse into mine planning to maximize the utilization of pit water. In 2025, these efforts enabled the reuse of 4,313 m³ of water across the operation.
