This paper takes Jiaozuo Mining Area as the research object, based on the analysis of the hydrogeological conditions of the mining area, expounds the characteristics of coal strata, aquifers and groundwater recharge, runoff and discharge in the mining area; analyses the water inrush sources and water diversion channels in the mining area, analyses the routine water chemical data of each aquifer in the mining area, draws the piper three-line diagram and confirms it. To determine the hydrochemical type of groundwater in aquifer, six common water chemical ions are used as discriminant factors, a discriminant model of water inrush source is established by combining principal component analysis and cluster analysis, and the principal component of conventional water chemical ions is extracted as cluster variable to discriminate Water Inrush Source in Jiaozuo Mining Area. In order to prove the rationality and validity of the model, another group of inrush sources in Jiaozuo Mining Area is discussed. The water sample data are discriminated and the results obtained by cluster analysis are compared to verify the accuracy of the model. The results show that the model is feasible. To sum up, the identification model of inrush water source by principal component-cluster analysis can accurately and effectively identify the source of inrush water in Jiaozuo Mining Area.
