The study area has a large number of coal and coal chemical enterprises, mainly concentrated above the midstream area, with a total of 18 coal mines and a total wellfield area of 343.43 km 2. Due to coal mining activities, water pollution in CRB has become increasingly serious in recent years.
the study suggests that mining areas need to be recl aimed r ight after mining. According to Jagwan i et al ., (2016) land degrad ation due to coal mining operation is perhap s the most serious ...
Under the exploitation of high-intensity coal resources, approximately 31 million tons of mine water are produced annually in the Shendong mining area, of which only about 25% is utilized [20,21].
Water resources protection and management are. urgently needed for dealing with the contradiction between wat er supply and demand in coal mines in northern. China 19–22. Protection of water ...

In high groundwater level mining areas, subsidence resulting from mining can lead to waterlogging in farmland, causing damage to crops and affecting their growth and development, thereby affecting regional food security. Therefore, it is necessary to restore agricultural production in the coal mining subsidence water areas in the densely …
Revealing the water use pattern of plants influenced by coal-mining-caused land subsidence is crucial to understand plant–water interactions and guide ecological restoration. However, available information on herbaceous plants, the dominant species in most arid and semi-arid regions with abundant coal resources, remains inadequate. We …

Assuming that the original rock stress is γH, then the peak value of the abutment pressure in the upper and lower coal bodies along the goaf's inclination direction can be expressed as k 1 γH and k 2 γH.The load in the rising area of the abutment pressure (l 2, l 3) can be equivalent to the triangular linear load F 2 (x), F 4 (x) from the coal wall …
The mine water has low pH (acidic) and high amount of turbidity, iron, sulfate, and total hardness. This water is capable of dissolving metals, such as copper, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, lead, and mercury in the active mining areas. Similarly, it also leaches these metalliferous constituents from the mineralized rocks.
