Abstract
The purpose of mine dewatering system is to control runoff water that enters mine openings so that the mining process is not disturbed. The rainfall discharge (Q) is 0.0951 m³/second and the runoff discharge (Q) is 0.69 m³/second, making the total mining discharge entering the location 0.781 m³/second. The open channel design has dimensions of Channel wall slope (α) = 60°, Water depth (h) = 0.73 m, Channel depth (d) = 0.83 m, Channel base width (B) = 0.73 m, Surface width (b) = 1.57 m, Wet cross-sectional area of channel (A) = 0.92 m², and Channel wall length (a) = 0.97 m. The sedimentation pond has the following dimensions and compartments: Total length (l) = 104 m; width (b) = 8 m; depth (H) = 4 m; partition width = 4 m; partition depth = 4 m; partition length = 7 m. It consists of 3 compartments: conditioning compartment, separation between solids and mine water, and flow with an area of 277 m² per compartment. The sedimentation pond volume is 3094 m³ with a total area of 830 m². The results of the study obtained information that to control runoff water entering mine openings, a pond capacity as a settling site was needed of more than 3094 m³ with a maximum dredging time of settling pond particles that can be done once every 10 months.
