Abstract

Apart from all measures to control and improve the quality (several days of purification by water settlement) of water that is discharged from tailing dumps
in some periods, it is possible contaminated water to be discharge into the nearest watercourses. As a result of the discharge of contaminated water, deposition of harmful
substances in the riverbeds can occur, which process causes contamination of the surrounding soil. To achieve a high level of environmental protection from waste water
from tailing dumps, it is necessary to undergo special treatment for water purification. One of the methods for water treatment is an additional deposition of suspended
materials in the auxiliary deposition beds and water discharge through horizontal and vertical drainage. Construction of additional beds beneath tailing dumps with
geotubes filled with small drainage material is a cost effective method for water drainage and purification of tailing dumps. Another method is the biological treatment of
water, which method is commonly used for the extraction of heavy metals from water. This treatment is mainly performed by aerobic bacteria. Most favorable option for
the treatment of water from tailing dumps is by so called lagoons and treatment with reeds, or other plants that have potential for bio accumulation of heavy metals.
