Simple Analytical Equations for Estimating Ground Water Inflow to a Mine Pit

摘要: Steady-state analytical solutions are presented for estimating the ground water inflow rate to a mine pit that may contain lake of finite depth. The consider (1) effect decreased saturated thickness near walls; (2) distributed recharge table; and (3) upward flow through bottom. While not appropriate all hydrogeologic situations, they relevant conditions encountered at many sites. An example calculation is an actual containing lake. provide estimated similar determined independently from detailed balance study.
