摘要

Mining regions globally face escalating water-related hazards such as scarcity, contamination, and flooding, intensified by climate change and unsustainable practices. Conventional risk models often overlook the interconnected ecological, technological, and governance dimensions critical for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (clean water), SDG 9 (industry innovation), and SDG 13 (climate action). This study introduces a multi-dimensional risk framework to holistically assess water hazards in China’s mining regions, integrating seven dimensions: environmental, social, governance, economic, geological/technical, community-based, and technological. Data from various sources and participatory surveys were analyzed using expert-weighted scoring and stakeholder validation. Water scarcity (93% severity) and contamination (88% severity) were identified as critical threats, with groundwater extraction exceeding recharge rates by 120% and acid mine drainage linked to a 30% increase in waterborne diseases. Case studies demonstrated the efficacy of inclusive interventions: IoT-driven water recycling (water quality and quantity monitoring) reduced contamination incidents by 35%, while decentralized filtration systems improved safe water access for 8000 households in southwestern China. The study highlights systemic gaps in rural technological adoption (20% IoT usage) and regulatory enforcement, advocating for SDG-aligned policies such as nature-based flood mitigation (SDG 15) and public–private partnerships for water infrastructure (SDG 9). The multi-dimensional risk framework links resilience, stewardship, and governance to model sustainable mineral extraction. This research underscores that sustainable mining necessitates prioritizing water security through adaptive technologies and participatory governance, ensuring that mining ecosystems contribute to global SDG targets in an era of climate uncertainty.
