Have you ever imagined having full control of your water balance in a simple and dynamic way, while saving money and optimizing your decision-making process?
Managing water flows across a mineβfrom collection to dischargeβcan be complex and challenging. To address this, Water Services and Technologies, in collaboration with Vale, developed Visual Water Balance (VWB), a truly dynamic software solution that enables users to autonomously create and manage their water balance.
With VWB, mine managers gain access to spatial visualizations of water circuits and key performance indicators, empowering them to optimize water use, reduce costs, and ensure compliance more effectively.
Discover Visual Water Balance
Detailed Water Circuit
Water Circuit Module
The Water Circuit Module allows users to create and visualize detailed water circuits across their operation. It links directly with the central database, providing full autonomy to make adjustments to the water circuit, such as replacing meters or adding new flow paths. With comprehensive visualization and strategic insights, this module helps mine managers optimize water usage and improve operational efficiency.
- Comprehensive Visualization: Develop detailed flowcharts to clearly visualize water circuits, including all sources, usage points, and discharge areas.
- Identify Inefficiencies: Quickly pinpoint system losses, leaks, or inefficiencies to enhance water management and reduce waste.
- Strategic Planning: Identify optimal locations for water management improvements, such as new meter installations or resource reallocation.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Understand your site-wide water balance to make time-sensitive and informed decisions
- Operational Efficiency: Maintain an accurate and up-to-date water circuit by establishing validity periods for each structure, ensuring ongoing accuracy.
Map Module
The Map Module offers integrated spatial visualization of your entire water circuit, providing a clear, big-picture view of water movement, volumes, and flow rates. This visual tool enhances understanding and communication, making it easier for users and stakeholders to make informed decisions and improve reporting for meetings or regulatory filings.
- Comprehensive Site Overview: Visualize water collection, consumption, and discharge points across your operation, providing an intuitive, big-picture understanding of the entire water system.
- Optimized Water Management: Easily identify key locations for water control and management, simplifying decision-making and improving resource allocation across the site.
- Strategic Meter Placement: Use spatial insights to identify the most effective locations for new meter installations, enhancing monitoring and presenting clear data in reports and meetings.
- Enhanced Resource Utilization: Discover new water capture and release points, ensuring efficient resource use while improving the presentation of operational insights to stakeholders.
- Clear Communication: Gain a visual tool that enhances communication with stakeholders and regulatory bodies, providing clear, actionable insights for reporting and strategic discussions.
Dashboard Module
The Dashboard Module provides a clear, visual display of key water balance indicators through easy-to-understand graphs and numbers. With automatic data generation, this module allows mine managers to quickly assess the current state of water usage and take preventive actions. The visual nature of the dashboard supports informed decision-making, simplifies reporting, and enhances communication in meetings and regulatory submissions.
- Comprehensive Water Indicators: Visualize key metrics for water consumption, usage, and release, making it easier to track performance and communicate insights with stakeholders.
- Consolidated Data View: Access consolidated indicators for specific periods and units, providing a high-level overview that simplifies reporting for meetings or regulatory filings.
- Simultaneous Monitoring: Track multiple indicators at once, enabling users to identify trends and make data-driven decisions more effectively.
- Proactive Management: Empower your team to act preventively rather than reactively by providing real-time access to key water usage data, helping you avoid potential issues before they escalate.
- Improved Stakeholder Communication: Present data in a clear, visual format, ensuring easy-to-understand insights for stakeholders during meetings, presentations, or compliance reviews.

Free Webinar: Understanding Your Mine Site Water Balance
Mine water management is crucial for the future of mining and the environment. Most mines both consume and produce water. Water is a critical component of mining operations, utilised in mining, downstream processing and product conveyance. At the same time, the mine and its associated water can profoundly impact the surrounding environment, including non-mining water. Managing the water that goes into the mining facility throughout its journey and eventual discharge is essential for optimizing mining operational costs as well as for protecting the surrounding communities and ecosystems. The development of an operational Water Balance allows the identification of water reuse opportunities, potential leakages, and to report sustainability KPIs.
In this webinar you will be introduced to a revolutionary tool (Visual Water Balance), that helps mines to gain a deep understand of your site water balance and take control of their water balance and meet daily operational water supply demands, mitigate water deficits, as well as plan for long-term water resilience.
