Small-scale mining occurs on a sizeable scale in many developing countries throughout the world. Active measures are undertaken by governments to promote the development of this mining sector for the promotion of the economy. The development of this sector does not bode well for the environment, as this sector is largely internationally unregulated.The challenge is to manage small-scale mining in an environmentally acceptable manner, and by so doing, develop appropriate implementation and environmental management strategies. These strategies must be relevant, understandable, affordable, be aimed at maintaining a balance between encouraging economic developments and preserving high standards of environmental management. Various strategies for managing the water-related impacts caused by small-scale mining have been developed in South Africa. These government initiatives have focused on two levels namely, the small-scale miners themselves as well the regulators. Through on going consultation between the regulators and small-scale miners and a continued education programme with documentation produced in South Africa, these initiatives will assist in the reduction of diffuse pollution impacts of current and future small-scale mining practises in developing countries.
