This postdoctoral research aims to develop a data-driven decision-support framework for rehabilitating and converting post-mining sites into water reservoirs. The study integrates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and System Dynamics Modelling to evaluate environmental impacts, resource efficiency and long-term sustainability of rehabilitation strategies. By combining environmental, hydrological and socio-economic data, the framework will support evidence-based planning and scenario analysis for sustainable mine closure and land reuse. Expected outcomes include a practical modelling tool, policy recommendations and strategies to support regulators and industry. The project contributes to water security, ecological restoration and sustainable post-mining land transformation for long-term environmental and societal benefits.
