Description:   The large quantities of water needed to mine and prepare coal have raised concerns over the environmental and economic implications of coal industry expansion in western Canada. This article reviews two studies designed to assist the development of environmental protection criteria and/or technologies to ensure that this growth will not affect ground-water systems.
