Brief description of ToR
The Eastern, Central and Western Basins of the Witwatersrand goldfields straddling Johannesburg and surrounding towns has witnessed mass‐scale cessation of gold mining operations since the late‐1990s. Termination of pumping of water from the mines in these Basins has resulted in mine flooding, leading to acid mine drainage (AMD) formation in the mine voids.
