Abstract
The coal mining industry has to dispose of millions of litres of water every day. This water forms main source of various water supplies in the thickly populated coalfields. In this study, water samples from major coalfields were collected and analysed in an attempt to reflect the impact of mining on water quality in these areas. Various physico-chemical characteristics of mine waters as analysed include pH, alkalinity/acidity, specific conductivity, hardness, total solids, sulphate, chloride iron and trace materials.
