WP3 - Development of methodology and tools for assessment of hydrodynamical and hydrochemical conditions changes in open pit mines and their surroundings

This WP aims to provide detailed understanding water condition changes and their influence on water quality in the pit. The WP will be achieved through the following tasks:

  • Evaluation of hydrogeological data relating to groundwater conditions and water quality issues arising during reservoir flooding,
  • Assessment of pollution vulnerability of groundwater,
  • Numerical modelling of water conditions during and after pit lake flooding,
  • Numerical modelling of water conditions in partially backfilled waste rock material from underground exploitation of coal open pit,
  • Conceptual development and testing on numerical model methods of optimal protection and groundwater monitoring.
