Abstract

Water inrush is a hazard that affects safety and production in many coal mines in China. Chinese mining engineers and scientists have made significant progresses in predicting, preventing, detecting, and mitigating this unique water hazard. The approximately 20 papers in this special issue present the latest research results and practices in six aspects: water inrush risk assessment, numerical simulation for water inrush prediction, high-resolution site characterization technique, rapid determination of water inrush point and water sources, early warning monitoring techniques, and engineering measures that have been used to prevent and mitigate water inrush events.
