MAMDIWAS's outcomes are expected to significantly benefit local communities, national government agencies and authorities, NGOs, and international networks. The project targets sustainable water management solutions with a primary focus on South Africa, though its methodologies and technologies have potential applications in other mining-intensive regions globally. The mining sector will particularly benefit from the economic opportunities created for mine water treatment, supporting a transition to post-mining societies. Emphasizing application-oriented solutions, the project ensures practical benefits that promote future research and development. The results will create transfer potential for both German and South African companies, enhancing collaboration and innovation in sustainable water resource management and contributing to key SDG goals.

• Technology Innovation: Creating innovative technologies for water treatment and resource recovery from mining influenced water.
• Integrated Water Resource Management: Implementing a comprehensive approach for sustainable water use and protection in mining areas.
• Co-Production and Governance: Encouraging collaboration among local partners, authorities, and communities for joint solution development and implementation.
• Policy and Regulation: Developing guidelines and regulatory frameworks to support sustainable water management and legal implementation of new technologies.
• Economic Opportunities: Creating economic opportunities through mine water treatment and reuse and promoting investments in sustainable technologies.
• Post-Mining Transition: Supporting the shift from a mining-based economy to sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives, aligned with key SDGs.
