selenium, sulfate and nitrate can be released and mobilized with the drainage. Active water treatment for_x000D_
managing mine drainage poses a long-term challenge to mining companies. A preferable option is to prevent_x000D_
the release of constituents of concern at the source, i.e., source control. The successful implementation of_x000D_
source control strategies relies on the availability of essential knowledge on the dynamics of constituent release_x000D_
and the key fundamental factors that control the release dynamics. The objective of this research is to develop_x000D_
effective source control strategies to help reduce constituent loading in contact water and ideally to enable_x000D_
