The Fourth International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage celebrated and documented the culmination of the MEND (Mine Environment Neutral Drainage) program, one of Canada's most effective partnerships in applied research and development. This CD contains the presentations from this successful conference held in Vancouver in 1997. The Plenary session plus 120 papers on various research initiatives dealing with acidic drainage issues including Prediction, Prevention, Treatment and Control, Monitoring and Restoration, and Policy and Legislation are included on the CD.
