The purpose of the mine water treatment sites is to remove iron that has been mobilised from old mine workings into gr oundwater. These mine water treatment sites operate by enabling oxidation of the iron, which is then precipitated as iron hydroxide (ochre) and settled in settlement ponds.

The reed beds are planted with a variety of wetland plants that act primarily as filters to remove any remaining ochre
