WIMS Mobile – Groundwater and Water Monitoring for Mining Operations

WIMS Mobile is the field data capture application for the Water Information Management System (WIMS), a specialised platform used by hydrogeologists, environmental managers and field technicians to manage groundwater and water monitoring data across mining operations.

Mining operations rely heavily on accurate groundwater information to support operational decisions, environmental compliance and water management strategies. WIMS Mobile allows field teams to capture monitoring data directly on site and synchronise it with the central WIMS platform, creating a reliable and auditable record of water-related information across the operation.

The application helps organisations reduce manual data handling, improve data integrity and provide clear visibility into groundwater behaviour, abstraction rates and water quality across the site.

Capture Groundwater Data in the Field

Using WIMS Mobile, field personnel can record monitoring information directly at boreholes, flow meters and environmental sampling locations.

Data captured in the field may include borehole water levels, pump utilisation readings, groundwater abstraction volumes, flow meter readings (both cumulative and instantaneous), water quality sampling information, environmental monitoring observations and field inspection notes.

Captured readings are synchronised with the WIMS platform where they become immediately available for analysis, reporting and operational monitoring.

Built for Mining Water Management

WIMS Mobile supports the monitoring activities required in mining environments where water management is critical to operations.

Typical applications include open pit dewatering monitoring, groundwater abstraction tracking, water supply monitoring for processing plants, environmental water quality monitoring, water balance reporting, compliance monitoring against water licences and long-term groundwater monitoring programs.

By consolidating groundwater data into a single structured system, WIMS helps operational teams better understand site water behaviour and respond quickly to emerging risks.

Improve Data Quality and Integrity

The mobile application includes built-in validation rules designed to maintain accurate monitoring records.

These controls help prevent invalid cumulative readings, reduce transcription and capture errors, maintain consistent field monitoring records and ensure reliable historical groundwater datasets.

Improved data integrity helps organisations produce defensible reports and maintain confidence in operational water management decisions.

Offline Field Capture

Monitoring locations are often situated in remote areas with limited network connectivity. WIMS Mobile allows users to capture monitoring data offline while working in the field.

Captured data can be synchronised automatically with the central WIMS system once connectivity becomes available.

Integrated with the WIMS Platform

WIMS Mobile integrates directly with the WIMS groundwater management platform where captured data can be combined with telemetry and sensor data, automated flow meter readings, laboratory water quality results and historical groundwater monitoring records.

This creates a single, structured source of truth for groundwater and environmental monitoring information across mining operations.

Who Uses WIMS

WIMS is used by professionals responsible for groundwater and water monitoring including hydrogeologists, environmental managers, field technicians, water management teams, mining operations teams and environmental consulting teams.
