27.10.2025 Case Report- AISRAS®: Delivering Real-Time Insights Into Acid Mine Drainage-Affected Dynamics In The Upper Spree River (LMBV, Germany)

Why aggregate indicators for water quality are not enough in the management of mining rehabilitation

In one of Europe’s most acid mine drainage–impacted regions — Lusatia, Germany — Watergenics collaborated with LMBV to address the limitations of aggregate indicators like electroconductivity in managing mine rehabilitation.

Our AISRAS® technology revealed dynamic real-time fluctuations of Sulfate, Total Iron, and Manganese, which electroconductivity alone could not capture. This insight enabled optimized metal precipitation processes and significantly reduced environmental risks associated with mining rehabilitation.

We thank Katja Kunze, Water Management Specialist, and Dr. Oliver Totsche, Head of Water Management and Innovation at LMBV, for their invaluable collaboration and support in pioneering data-driven approaches to sustainable mining rehabilitation.
