Mine Hydrogeology and Numerical modelling of aquifers in Eastern India
The client is starting a new coal mine and wants to understand the impacts of mining operations to the groundwater system, hydro-geological and hydro-geochemical impact to the surface water and groundwater system, recommendations for long term mine dewatering strategy, groundwater management and water balance and conduct a high level conceptual study on water conservation at the surrounding area.
The key stages were-
- Project Planning, Desktop Study, CMPDIL Report Review, Geology, Geomorphology, Wet Lands, Watershed, Remote Sensing
- Field data collection: water level (pre and post monsoon), GW flow, seasonal fluctuations, GW/Surface Water sample collection
- VES Survey
- Water Quality Analysis – Standard parameters, metals; GW/Surface Water suitability analysis
- Aquifer Characterization – pumping test of 4 – 6 wells
- Water and Environmental management, water footprint study and Water Balance
- Numerical Modelling for groundwater management
