Recoverable 3 billion Tonnes Thickness of lignite 5-6m Lignite contains % moisture 2 Paper Presents Results of pumping out tests Ground water model to simulate de-pressuring of aquifers Results show that 22 pumping out wells are required Period of 1 years Overall pumping rate of 53 L/sec 3 Problems of lignite mining 1. Lignite deposits are under-laid and overlaid by aquifers presenting problems: Inflow of water causing safety, operational and environmental problems. 2. Confined aquifers below the deposit cause: In-pit flooding, Erosion of toe of high-wall, High-wall instability. 4 Background The paper presents; Hydrogeological appraisal of proposed mining operations in Thar Lignite prospect, Sindh, Pakistan Thar coalfield -9 km2, Estimated reserves- 192 Bt lignite; Depth of seams- 13 to 25m, Seam thickness- between 7.5m to 36m, Maximum thickness of individual seam 23m, Eight blocks have been explored which have; 9 Bt proven reserves. Coal seams surrounded by three aquifers. 5 Main Approach In brief, the paper addresses two questions: 1. Dewatering Schemes for top, intermediate and bottom aquifers, 2. Estimation of inflow quantities from each aquifer using; (a)equivalent well approach (b)seep/w Finite Element Software Package 6 1

The pumping test simulation results were close to the analytical results and field data. Conclusions (Continued) A model simulation of a hypothetical pumping out well carried out a sensitivity analysis of various factors affecting ground water inflow. It was indicated that the model is sensitive to permeability of the aquifer as an input data
8 IMWA 21 Sydney, Nova Scotia Mine Water & Innovative Thinking Conclusions (Cont.) The model was then used to predict ground water inflow during the open cut mine advancement at various time periods and inflow into fully penetrating pit into the three aquifers using the steady state flow condition. The results of inflow provide significant information for the design of an effective dewatering system for all stages of mining 43 Thank You Very Much for Your Attention Raghu N.
