In its 'Global Mining and Metals Water Dataset' report, published on July 22, the ICMM states that competition for finite water resources is not a future concern, but a present operational reality and a structural constraint on the expansion of the mining and metals sector, as well as the pace of the energy transition itself.]]></description>
