Abstract
Coal mining can seriously affect groundwater systems in aquifers that overlie the coal seam, especially in dry and water-stressed areas where protection of groundwater resources is very important. Through generalization of the hydrogeological conditions and analysis of the actual groundwater flow field in a confined weathered bedrock aquifer overlying the Shennan mining area in northern Shaanxi, a hydrogeological conceptual model and numerical groundwater flow model were established. FEFLOW finite element software was used to solve the model and dynamic groundwater data were used to validate it. The study area was hydrogeologically modeled by repeatedly adjusting the parameters. The model was then used to simulate the effect of mining on the overlying aquifer based on the mining plan for the next 5 years by adjusting the quantity of water discharged, the hydrogeological parameters of the upper water-bearing zone, the characteristics of the groundwater flow field, and the predicted water balance after 5 years. The results show that the maximum drawdown could be as high as 50 m (northeast of the Zhangjiamao Mine). A cone of depression centered on the Ningtiaota, Zhangjiamao, and Hongliulin mines will be formed that will influence more than 75% of the simulation area.
Zusammenfassung
Der Abbau von Kohle unter Grundwassersystemen in Aquiferen kann beträchtliche Auswirkungen haben, besonders in trockenen und wasserarmen Landschaften, in welchen der Schutz von Grundwasserressourcen sehr wichtig ist. Mittels einer Generalisierung der hydrogeologischen Randbedingungen und einer Analyse des derzeitigen Grundwasserfließfeldes in einem begrenzten Aquifer verwitterter Festgesteine über den Shennan Kohleflözen wurden ein hydrogeologisches konzeptuelles Modell und ein numerisches Grundwasserfließmodell erstellt. Digitalisierung und Berechnungen erfolgten in FEFLOW. Dynamische Grundwasserdaten wurden zur Validierung verwendet. Wiederholte Adjustierung der Parameter diente der Optimierung des Modelles. In der Folge wurde das Modell zur Simulation der Auswirkungen des Kohleabbaues nach dem Bergbauplan für die nächsten 5 Jahre eingesetzt, indem das geförderte Wasservolumen, die hydrogeologischen Parameter der wasserführenden Zone, die Charakteristika des Grundwasserfließfeldes und die Wasserbilanz nach 5 Jahren adjustiert wurden. Die Resultate zeigen, daß die maximale Absenkung 50 m erreichen könnte (nordöstlich der Zhangjiamao Mine). Ein Absenkungstrichter, welcher mehr als 75% des Untersuchungsgebietes betreffen wird, entsteht zentriert über den Minen Ningtiaota, Zhangjiamao und Hongliulin.

Introduction
While groundwater in a local or regional aquifer may threaten the safe mining of coal (Guo et al. 2015; Wu et al. 2004), the mining, and its associated dewatering can seriously impact groundwater resources (Sun et al. 2012). Comprehensive use of mine water is an urgent problem that must be addressed in the arid area of northwest China. The Shennan mining area is rich in coal resources, but more than 20 years of mining has caused a series of ecological and environmental problems (Wang et al. 2004), such as groundwater level depression (Wang and Jiang 2011), reduced river flow (Wu et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2011), decreased flow and disappearances of springs (Chang et al. 2011; Zhang and Liu 2002), soil erosion (Ye and Zhang 2000), vegetation blight, and land desertification (Wang et al. 2008; Zhang et al. 2011). Determining the impact of future large-scale exploitation on the dynamic distribution of water resources is an important problem.
Dong et al. (2012) used FEFLOW to optimize the mine drainage capacity of China’s Linnancang Coal Mine and concluded that increasing the present drainage capacity by 30% was economical and feasible. Surinaidu et al. (2014) used MODFLOW to study the net recharge of groundwater during development of the Coindavari River basin, Andhra Pradesh, India. Kim and Parizek (1997) established a groundwater flow numerical model to simulate and analyze the Noordbergum effect induced by groundwater exploitation and explained its mechanism. Because most numerical models cannot forecast uncertain information, Li et al. (2003) proposed the use of stochastic groundwater simulation to solve the problem of different scales in the mean distribution and small scale processes. Scheibe and Yabusaki (1998) simulated and analyzed the scale of the groundwater flow and the migration process with a reasonable and practical three-dimensional groundwater flow numerical model.
The main aquifer in the Shennan mining area, which consists of weathered bedrock, adversely affects coal production. A better understanding of the interaction between this groundwater and the mine was necessary. A FEFLOW finite element model was established to analyze and predict how mining influences groundwater flow, to improve mine safety and allow reasonable utilization of the mine water.
Study Area
Location of Study Area
The Shennan mining area is located in north-central Shenmu County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, approximately 36 km from Shenmu County. It is composed of the three adjacent coal mines: Ningtiaota, Zhangjiamao, and Hongliulin. The study area is located north of the loess plateau in northern Shaanxi, on the southeastern margin of the Maowusu Desert, between the northern latitudes of 38°53′16″–39°07′57″ and the eastern longitudes of 110°09′33″–110°23′52″ (Fig. 1). It is a semi-arid area with an average annual rainfall of 406.18 mm and an average annual evaporation of 1774.91 mm.
Geology of the Study Area
The strata of the study area, from top to bottom, consist of aeolian sand \(\left(Q_{4}^{\text{eol}}\right)\) and alluvial strata \(\left( {Q_{4}^{{{\text{al}}}}} \right)\) of the Quaternary Holocene, Upper Pleistocene Malan Formation loess (Q3m), Salawusu Formation silty-fine sand (Q3s), Middle Pleistocene Lishi Formation loess (Q2l), Neogene Baode Formation laterite (N2b), and the Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation (J2z) and Yan’an Formation (J2y); the coal is in the Yan’an Formation. \(Q_{4}^{{{\text{al}}}}\), Q3m, and Q3s are mainly composed of fine sand and silt, and are discontinuous, and thin in the mining area, where they are all integrated into aeolian sand \(\left(Q_{4}^{\text{eol}}\right)\). The Zhiluo Formation and upper Yan’an Formation in the lower part of the Baode Formation are weathered to different degrees, and fractured, forming the main aquifer of the coal seam roof. The study area is characterized by gentle strata, a simple geological structure, and no faults (Fig. 2).
Aquifer Characteristics
The average thickness of the weathered bedrock aquifer is approximately 35 m, and the thickness decreases from west to east. West of the Hongliulin Mine and in the Ningtiaota Mine, it can be up to approximately 50 m thick, while east of the Hongliulin Mine and in the Zhangjiamao Mine, it is approximately 20 m. The weathered bedrock is mainly composed of yellow–green mudstone, silty sand, and gray sandstone. Its upper part is strongly weathered, and its weathering intensity gradually decreases with depth. Its fractures are well developed, providing good permeability and storativity.
Pumping test results for the weathered bedrock aquifer (Supplemental Table 1) revealed great spatial variability in permeability and hydraulic conductivity. The groundwater level is high in the west and low in the east, and the groundwater is mostly drained in the form of descending springs and mine drainage. The spring flow is 0.08–0.506 L s, generally 0.2 L s. The contour of the groundwater levels in September 2014 and the thickness of the weathered bedrock are shown in Fig. 3.
Groundwater Simulation Model
Aquifer Conceptualization and Discretization
As discussed above, the Baode clay layer in the upper part of the weathered bedrock aquifer can be generalized as an impermeable layer with very low permeability. The lower part of the intact and unweathered silty-fine sandstone, which has a compact texture, can be generalized as relatively impermeable. Given the variable hydraulic conductivity, a hydrogeological conceptual model of a confined aquifer with heterogeneous anisotropic fractures bearing transient flow was established. Erosion of the Kaokaowusu Gully in the northern part of the study area and Majiata Gully in the southern part of the study area has reached the weathered bedrock aquifer. Therefore, these gullies were established as the northern and southern hydraulic-head boundaries of model. To better reflect the hydrogeological characteristics of the mining area, the western boundary of the model was extended outside of the mining area, while the eastern boundary of the model coincided with the mining area’s boundary. The final model covers 23.75 km from north to south and 24.75 km from east to west, with a total area of 436.31 km2. The model, based on the three-dimensional movement of groundwater in a heterogeneous and anisotropic aquifer, is given by the partial differential equation:
where Kx, Ky, and Kz are the hydraulic conductivity along the x, y, and z coordinate axes (L/T); H is the hydraulic head (L); t is the time (T); ε is the volume flux per unit volume representing a source/sink (1/T); Ss is the specific storage of the porous media (1/L); \(\overrightarrow {\text{n}}\) is the normal vector of the boundary; q′ is the inflow or outflow volume flux from a unit area in a unit time of the second boundary condition (L/T); H0 is the groundwater level elevation at time t = 0 (L); Ω is the scope of the model; and Γ is the fluid-flux boundary of the seepage area.
Subsequently, the finite element software FEFLOW was used to solve Eq. (1). The model was divided using a three-dimensional triangular mesh, and an automatic refining technology was applied to areas with large hydraulic gradients, such as the Kaokaowusu and Majiata gullies. This is because the upper and lower strata of the weathered bedrock aquifer were both generalized as impermeable, and served as the upper and lower model boundaries. The model consisted of one layer and two slices, and contained 13,576 elements and 15,940 nodes in the plane (Fig. 4). Since the strata in the FEFLOW program must be continuous, the stratum thickness was set to be very small (as little as 0.01 m) for discontinuities where the formation was not continuous.
Model Parameters and Boundary Conditions
Based on an interpolation and reclassification of the hydraulic conductivity (K) and the specific yield (q) results (Supplemental Table 1) from the borehole pumping tests using ArcGIS software, and considering the characteristics of the groundwater flow field, the confined aquifer was divided into 25 zones (Fig. 5). The specific storage (Ss), referred to as “storage properties”, characterizes the capacity of a confined aquifer to release groundwater. The zonation of Ss was consistent with the hydraulic conductivity, and its value is empirical (Table 1). Since the confined aquifer consisted of fractured rock, the initial value of Ss should range between 10−4 and 10−6 m−1.
The aquifer limits can be described by natural or hydrological boundaries (Fig. 4). As discussed above, the gullies were generalized as hydraulic-head boundaries, with the river water level its hydraulic head value. Figure 3 shows the water level elevation contours of the weathered bedrock in September 2014. The groundwater flows from west to north, to east and south. The western and eastern boundaries of the confined aquifer of the weathered bedrock of the model were generalized to be the second type of flux boundary. The western boundary was the recharge boundary and the eastern the drainage boundary. The flux at the boundary was determined by the hydraulic gradient, the average permeability coefficient, and the thickness of the aquifer at the boundary.
When a coal seam under a weathered bedrock aquifer is mined, the aquifer will be dewatered, producing mine water inflow. In the model, wells were used throughout the model to simulate mine water inflow. A simulation was done at each node of the finite element grid and then interpolated within the finite element. The value of the nodes was close to the true value, but to get a better computed result, all pumping wells were set in the mesh nodes. The injection well was negative, and the pumping well and the mine water inflow were positive. Thirty wells were evenly distributed in the working face and goaf of the Ningtiaota Mine. The flux of each well was 524.96 m3/day, and the total discharge was 15,748.80 m3/day (measured value). Twenty-six wells were evenly distributed in the working face and goaf of the Hongliulin Mine. The flux of each well was 241.85 m3/day, and the total discharge was 6,288.00 m3/day (measured value). Seventeen wells were evenly distributed in the working face and goaf of the Zhangjiamao Mine. The flux of each well was 200.72 m3/day, and the total discharge was 3,412.32 m3/day (measured value). Figure 5 shows the layout of the pumping wells used to simulate the mine drainage.
Results and Discussion
Model Calibration and Validation
Observed groundwater level data from September 2014 to April 2015 (240 days in total) were used for model calibration. During this period, groundwater levels were measured every half a month. The initial flow field was determined from the observed groundwater level in September 2014 (Supplemental Table 1). By constant adjustment of the hydrogeological parameters, the dynamic changes in the groundwater level were kept as close as possible to the observation data so that the model could simulate the actual hydrogeological conditions and structural parameters.
At the end of the simulation (240 days), the simulated flow field of the confined aquifer was compared with the observed flow field (Fig. 6). The groundwater flow velocity and flow direction were measured in June 2015 by the AquaVISION Colloidal Borescope System (New Zealand AquaVISION Company; Table 2).
It can be seen from Fig. 6 that the simulated flow field agrees well with the observed flow field at the end of the simulation recognition period, and the whole flow direction is consistent with the measured flow direction of the observation borehole. Only the measured flow direction of the sk22 hole differed from the simulated flow direction, which may be due to observation error. Because the AquaVISION Colloidal Borescope System measures groundwater flow velocity and flow direction with high sensitivity based on the movement of small particles in the water, small vibrations can cause large errors. However, on the whole, the simulated and measured flows fit well. By comparing the computed flow velocity with the observed flow velocities in 20 observation wells at the end of the simulation, we learned that wells with an absolute error less than 1.0 × 10−5 m/s accounted for 65% of the total error and observation wells with an absolute error greater than 2.0 × 10−5 m/s accounted for only 10% of the total (Table 3). This indicates that the model is valid and can be used to forecast future seepage. The characteristics of the flow field reflects the groundwater flow patterns of the confined aquifer. The contours of the groundwater level are affected by the main valleys. The isoline is also denser in the place where the terrain is abrupt, which is consistent with the weathered bedrock at the bottom of the valley. The groundwater of the weathered bedrock aquifer mainly drains into the valley.
The dynamic changes in the groundwater level of some representative observation wells were selected to test the simulation results; the measured and simulated groundwater levels met the convergence conditions (Fig. 7). The relative error of the fitting point was relatively small, and the fit was excellent. The groundwater head error was generally between 0.01 and 2.10 m. Borehole J4 is very close to the mine face, and the variation of the groundwater heads in the simulation period fit the trend of the simulated water level very well. This indicates that the simulation can be used to distribute the mine water discharge into a multi-port pumping well.
The sensitivity of the effect of the parameters on the model outcome was tested by varying the parameters. The aim of this sensitivity analysis was to quantify the uncertainty in the calibrated model caused by the estimation of the aquifer parameters. The uncertainty was quantified by calculating the changes in the heads caused by changes in the parameter values. The results provide a better understanding of the model’s performance and indicate what data have to be collected in the field to further improve performance.
Table 4 shows the sensitivity of various parameters on simulated 2015 groundwater levels. The model was very sensitive to changes in the recharge, horizontal permeability, and vertical permeability, but less sensitive to changes in specific storage. For example, a 50% increase in recharge (approximately 132 × 106 m3) caused an average increase in the calculated head of 66 m, and a 50% decrease in the recharge (approximately 132 × 106 m3) caused an average decrease in the calculated head of 82 m. There were similar influences from changes in the horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivity values, but relatively smaller changes associated with changes in specific storage. In summary, the established hydrogeological model adequately reflects the study area’s actual hydrogeological characteristics. The hydrogeological parameters of each zonation are shown in Table 5.
Groundwater Budget and Model Predictions
To ensure safe exploitation, it is necessary to reduce groundwater in the upper part of the coal seam. That will greatly affect the groundwater flow field of the overlying aquifer and the distribution of the area’s groundwater resources. The relationship between the groundwater level and water resource quantity and water drainage in the mining area can be quantitatively described and predicted using the numerical groundwater flow model established above. By adjusting some solution conditions, and accounting for the effect of mining on the permeability coefficient of the overlying aquifer/aquiclude, the dynamic characteristics of the groundwater flow field and groundwater balance in the overlying aquifer can be predicted and used to guide production planning and water resources utilization in the area. For the short-term exploitation plan and production and domestic water demand of Shennan Mining Area in the next 5 years, the simulation forecast period will be 30 April 2015 to 30 April 2020.
The effect of coal mining on the weathered bedrock is mainly an increase in vertical hydraulic conductivity. The water conductive fracture zone that represents the mine is developed only in the working face area. Therefore, the vertical hydraulic conductivity was adjusted to ten times the horizontal hydraulic conductivity (Bian 2014). Pumping wells to simulate mine inflow were expanded to the entire mining area based on the density of the pumping wells of the model. Other parameters remained unchanged.
Figure 8 is the predicted contour map of the groundwater level and drawdown in the weathered bedrock on 30 April 2020 (compared to 30 April 2015). It can be observed that the maximum drawdown may be as high as 50 m (northeast of the Zhangjiamao Mine), which reaches the bottom of the aquifer. A cone of depression centered on the three mines has formed. The influence of the cone of depression accounts for more than 75% of the simulation area, but there is only a small impact west of the Hongliulin Mine far away from the study area.
At present, the design production capacity levels of the Ningtiaota, Zhangjiamao, and Hongliulin coal mines are 12, 8, and 12 Mt/a, and the water consumption levels are 5536, 4373, and 8607 m3/day, respectively. The groundwater temperature of the groundwater in the aquifer is generally 3–18 °C, the pH ranges from 7.39 to 8.23, and the total hardness ranged from 25.0 to 230.2 mg/L (calculated as calcium carbonate). The mineralization of the weathered bedrock is generally 212–228 mg/L (fresh water), and the water chemistry type is generally HCO3–Ca·Na and HCO3–Ca·Mg. The TDS of the groundwater is less than 450 mg/L. The water meets the standards for drinking water (Ministry of Health 2006) and can be used as domestic water after disinfection. As seen in Table 6, the current average annual inflows of the coal mines are 6.64 × 106 m3/a for Ningtiaota, 0.88 × 106 m3/a for Zhangjiamao and 3.04 × 106 m3/a for Hongliulin, and can supply approximately 1.82 × 104 m3/day (3.29 times the Ningtiaota Mine’s water requirement), 0.24 × 104 m3/day (54.88% of the Zhangjiamao Mine’s water demand) and 0.83 × 104 m3/day (96.43% of the Hongliulin Mine’s water demand). Thus, mine drainage water can be used for coal production and domestic water after simple treatment, which will reduce the waste of water resources and contribute to the sustainable development of mining areas.
Conclusion
A hydrogeological model based on FEFLOW finite element software was established to predict the groundwater flow field and water balance of a weathered bedrock aquifer in a mining area. The results indicate that the maximum drawdown in the next 5 years can be as high as 50 m (northeast of the Zhangjiamao Coal Mine), which reaches the bottom of the aquifer. It can therefore be inferred that the springs formed by the discharge of groundwater from the weathered bedrock aquifer may stop. The surface water may even supply groundwater in the rainy season, which will increase mine water inflow and threaten mine production security.
Mine drainage can be used for coal production and domestic water after simple treatment, which would greatly ease the area’s water demand. This rational use of mine water can make a great contribution to the sustainable development of mining areas.
