Description:    For the abatement of acid mine drainage the Alberta Research Council proposed to use its new super absorbant polymer (SAP). The properties of the SAP were described along with the methods and results of hydraulic conductivity and moisture retention tests. Implications of the experimental results were discussed and a preliminary economic analysis of the SAP was given.
