Negative Effects of Groundwater On Mines and Investigation of Drying Methods in Mines in Northern Afghanistan
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Hydrogeology and Geo Engineering, Earthquake
Abstract
It is known that during mining operations, the emergence of groundwater always causes numerous problems in the country's mines, especially in the mines in the north of the country. On the one hand, the emergence of groundwater during extraction causes the slowness and speed of the extraction processes, and on the other hand, huge amounts of money must be spent to remove the aforementioned waters. Therefore, in this work, I wanted to examine the issue and search for and discuss appropriate solutions. The dangers to mines caused by the emergence of groundwater include: subsidence, dissolution, and landslides. In this work, an effort has been made to use the experiences of advanced and civilized countries that have gained useful experiences in the past and to adapt them by considering the geographical conditions of our country. One of the appropriate solutions is the method of drying mines, which has been discussed in detail in this work. After studying and evaluating the structure of various mines, certain results have been obtained and, in the end, specific suggestions have been presented to the competent authorities to eliminate the aforementioned dangers.
