The hydrologic behaviour of waste rock piles in the Canadian Arctic : snowmelt infiltration and the onset of long term freezing in test piles

This thesis examines the hydrology of three experimental waste rock piles located in the Canadian Arctic at Diavik Diamond Mine (DDMI). Seven years of hydrology data is presented, including measurements of moisture contents, outflow volumes and soil tensions, along with an estimate of annual rainfal...
