  • AWA will be developing PMP, meteorological analyses, and climatological data for the proposed KSM Project in British Columbia.  We will be working with Seabridge Gold and Golder Associates on this important and complex project.  You can learn more about this project and location at Seabridge Gold.
  • AWA starts its first major study in Europe as part of a team working on the Evaluation of the Lyulyakovitsa Tailings Dam in Bulgaria, developing the PMP and meteorology of extreme rainfall.  The mining facility is run by Assarel-Medet AD, which is the largest Bulgarian mining company for open pit mine concentrating on copper and other ores.  The mining operation is located 6 miles northwest of the town of Panagyurishte and 55 miles eat of Sofia. 
  • AWA was a co-author on a paper detailing the rarity of the rainfall associated with the August 2016 storm which resulted in devastating flooding in the Baton Rouge region.  The paper will be published in the April edition of the Journal of Hydrometeorology, but you can read a copy hear.
  • AWA's article on PMP Estimation for the Mine Tailing Dams in Data Limited Regions was published in the latest issue of the Journal of Dam Safety, be sure to read it here.
  • The island of Puerto Rico has been devastated by recent natural events, including Hurricane Maria in 2017 and earthquakes in 2019.  To help better understand and prepare for these risks in the future, AWA was selected by the USBR to update PMP for the entire island.  AWA will be working with AECOM on this important project to ensure all dams are adequately designed to withstand the largest flood that could happen anywhere on the island.
