Mathematical Design Study of Drainage and Dewatering Strategies: Integrated System for Water Management in Open-Pit Mining

Abstract

Coal mining activity impacted environmental issues especially wastewater. This paper will explain about mathematical modelling of water management system using combination of drainage and dewatering system to solve this problem. Drainage and dewatering system must be balance to manage water in mining area, drainage and dewatering system model written clearly in this paper including perimeter drainage, sump, pipping and pumping system.
