It\u2019s moved in a pipeline so its carried in water.  And  it takes a while for that water to drain out of the tailings sands.  And so that water seeps out    at the low points in the landscape where the wetlands would be.    We had built an area that didn\u2019t have much topographic relief and another area that had quite a lot of hills and valleys.  And the one that had lots of hills in it had flushed and the water had drained out of those sands quicker.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs Clara Qualizza explains, this flushing is important to reducing salinity in the reconstructed watershed.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude Canada.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com\n <\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3>Dr Linda Pilarski, <\/h3>\n<h4>University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02008-10-02<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the materials <b>Syncrude Canada<\/b> is using to reconstruct the boreal landscape after mining bitumen is<b> tailings<\/b> leftover from production.
