Mineração, Recursos Hídricos, Impactos Ambientais, InovaçãoResumen
La relación entre los recursos hídricos y la minería se comprende frecuentemente de forma multidisciplinaria, abarcando temas relacionados con la gestión, el reúso, el tratamiento y los impactos ambientales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la literatura existente por medio de una revisión bibliométrica, buscando reunir información fragmentada y generar nuevas perspectivas (insights) sobre las publicaciones relacionadas con el tema. La metodología se basó en las etapas de selección del portafolio bibliográfico del método Knowledge Development Process Constructivist (ProKnow-C), adoptando un enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo. Se concluye que la investigación proporcionó información relevante que puede sustentar estudios futuros de carácter más aplicado, especialmente aquellos orientados a la evaluación de la eficacia a largo plazo de medidas consideradas sostenibles.
