“…On its way downstream, through the different water subsystems (subsurface and surface water) of a catchment, it may also impair and pollute downstream water environments in the catchment and adjacent coastal and marine waters (Herlihy et al, 1990;Younger et al, 1997;Iribar et al, 2000). The possibly polluted water drainage from mine wastes, and other active or abandoned mine ground and mining facilities, is in the following referred to by the common term mine water (Environmental Regulation of Mine Waters in the European Union (ERMITE) Consortium, 2004).…”

“…Herlihy et al 1990;Younger , 2001Iribar et al 2000;Milu et al 2002;Amezaga et al 2004), Some studies have proposed that not only mine wastes but also abandoned mine voids may in many cases yield major downstream water pollution Wood et ai 1999;Younger 2003).…”

“…The weathering of such materials may cause contamination of ground-and surface-waters by acidity, dissolved metals and salinity. Microbial processes play an important role in the weathering of sulfidic rocks and minerals, causing acid mine drainage (AMD) (Colmer and Hinkle, 1947;Silverman and Ehrlich, 1964;Singer and Stumm, 1970;Karavaiko et al, 1972;Nordstrom, 1982;Harris and Ritchie, 1983;Moses et al, 1987;Watzlaf, 1988;Ehrlich, 1990;Kleinman et al, 1991;Bosecker, 1994;Evangelou, 1995;Schippers et al, 1995;Yu, 1996;Gray, 1997;Johnson and Bridge, 1997;Kwong et al, 1997;Schüring et al, 1997;Geldenhuis and Bell, 1998;Mills et al, 1998;Booth and Bertsch, 1999;Edwards et al, 2000;Iribar et al, 2000).…”
