The Partnership for Acid Drainage Remediation (PADRE) is a European based scientific-technical association dedicated to acid mine water related topics.

History

PADRE was founded in 2003 in Johannesburg, South Africa, due to the steadily increasing problems related to water in Europe. It is a sister organisation of the International Mine Water Association - IMWA and was publicly launched during IMWA’s Mine Water 2004 conference, in Newcastle Upon Tyne (UK) in September 2004.[1]
