The development of mining operations at the South Mining District Open Pit of the Copper Mine Majdanpek is conditioned in the following short term by removal the accumulated water, sludge and sediment from the inactive water collector from the level +150 m to the bottom of the Open Pit at +122 m. This must be done in order to create the conditions for the smooth development of the ore mining operations. This paper presents the technology of pumping the clean water.
