In 2015, three million gallons of water escaped the abandoned Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, turning the Animas River orange and drawing national headlines as the contamination passed through Durango. Over time, the polluted water traveled nearly 400 miles to Lake Powell, with the EPA ultimately designating the mine a Superfund site. An environmental disaster? Yes. An isolated risk? ...
Abstract: Numerical models are now used routinely to predict ground-water inflows to both surface and underground mines and to help design dewatering systems. Two of the more complex problems encountered in mine dewatering are 1) predicting the configuration of the phreatic surface and height of the seepage face in pit highwalls for slope stability analysis and ...
This paper addresses the modelling of the processes associated with acid mine drainage affecting the Trimpancho River basin, chosen for this purpose because of its location and paradigmatic hydrological, geological, mining and environmental contexts. ...
The main purpose of this study was to develop an optimum flow prediction model, based on data mining process. The data mining process was applied to predict river flow of Seyhan Stream in the southern part of Turkey. Hydrological time series modeling was applied using monthly historical flow records to predict Seyhan Stream flows. ...
