The “Mine Water and the Environment Best Paper Award” is an award granted to the best paper written in the IMWA journal “Mine Water and the Envionment”. Each member of the International Editorial Board ranks the three best papers published within one volume (4 issues) and the Editor-in-Chief evaluates the results and makes the final decision. Both, technical papers as well as technical communications are qualified for the Best Paper Award. Usually, the winner is selected in the first half of each year and is announced during the following IMWA Congress or Symposium.
