Abstract
The article deals with hydrogeological conditions of the groundwater resources in the western part of the Kuznetsk depression, a coal and ore mining region. On the basis of a scheme of hydrogeological boundary conditions, a numerical geologic filtration model is developed for calculation of groundwater resources in the study area. The hydrologic budget of the numerical model is evaluated for assessment of infiltration recharge of groundwater resources.
Highlights
Ground water in the Kuznetsk Coal Basin is of vital importance, as it is widely used for water supply of industrial and population centers, determining the economics of the location in Kemerovo region, being of paramount importance for development of coal, ore and other mineral deposits [1]
The research is designed to study hydrogeological conditions of operation of the potable groundwater supply, to develop a numerical model based on the report on groundwater locations, to clarify balance characteristics of the water-intake area and boundary conditions
In terms of geological and hydrogeological classification this area is assigned to the western margin of the Kuznetsk Basin [3,4], and the aquifer extends to the Middle Permian sediments of Ilyinsk subseries
Summary
Ground water in the Kuznetsk Coal Basin is of vital importance, as it is widely used for water supply of industrial and population centers, determining the economics of the location in Kemerovo region, being of paramount importance for development of coal, ore and other mineral deposits [1]. Water conservation of industrial districts of the Kuznetsk Basin is one of the most topical issues. The need for drinking groundwater resources is complicated by the broad-scale development of mining industry followed by drainage of the upper hydrodynamic zone in mining operations. The research is designed to study hydrogeological conditions of operation of the potable groundwater supply, to develop a numerical model based on the report on groundwater locations, to clarify balance characteristics of the water-intake area and boundary conditions. The water balance estimate is made for wells with the total water rate of 1500 m2/day as at the end of calculation period (25 years)
