hydrogeological issues concerning the thar lignite prospect

چکیده
the paper is concerned with the hydrogeological appraisal of the proposed mining operations in thethar lignite field in sindh, pakistan. the thar coalfield covers an area of approximately 9000km2 andcontains three lignite seams lying at depth of 130m to 250 m. in the thar lignite field, the presence ofthree main aquifers induces pore pressure in the rock mass surrounding the lignite seams and makes highwall slopes potentially unsafe. it is, therefore, necessary to dewater the rock mass before commencingmining excavations. the paper describes the proposed mine dewatering scheme to facilitatedepressurising of the rock mass surrounding the mining excavations. inflow prediction of groundwater tothe surface mining excavation was carried out using a seep/w finite element software package. thesimulation results show that the ground water inflow from the top aquifer is 114m3/d, from theintermediate confined aquifer is 141m3/d and from the bottom confined aquifer is 1.28 x 105 m3 /d. theseresults were compared with the analytical solutions which indicated that the relative error of estimation ofinflow quantities varies from 3.4 % to 6.4%.

متن کاملScientific Issues concerning Androids Scientific Issues concerning Androids
In the development of humanoids, both the appearance and behavior of the robots are significant issues. However, designing the robot’s appearance, especially to give it a humanoid one, was always a role of industrial designers. To tackle the problem of appearance and behavior, two approaches are necessary: one from robotics and the other from cognitive science. The approach from robotics tries ...
متن کاملSecurity Issues concerning Mobile Commerce
Electronic commerce or e-commerce can be briefly defined as a financial transaction or commercial information between two parties based on data transmitted over communication networks (Soriano & Ponce, 2002). It relies upon users’ interventions to initiate a transaction and select the main steps of the process. Users’ actions stem from a succession of virtual decisions. Indeed, when shopping wi...
متن کاملDetermination of ground water quality associated with lignite mining in arid climate
Ground water and surface water create a range of problems in lignite mining utilizing surface mining methods. In order to create a safe and economic mining environment, it is essential to carry out mining after dewatering the rock mass surrounding the lignite mines by advance dewatering techniques. This paper briefly describes the ground water regimes including pressure gradients associated wit...
متن کاملSome fundamental issues concerning degrees of unsolvability
Recall that RT is the upper semilattice of recursively enumerable Turing degrees. We consider two fundamental, classical, unresolved issues concerning RT . The first issue is to find a specific, natural, recursively enumerable Turing degree a ∈ RT which is > 0 and < 0 ′. The second issue is to find a “smallness property” of an infinite, co-recursively enumerable set A ⊆ ω which ensures that the...
متن کاملConcerning issues of theories of conceptual modeling
In this paper I discuss issues concerning theories of conceptual modeling. First I introduce the required basics and discuss then briefly the acquisition of empirical knowledge by means of conceptual modeling. Following this I argue that, contrary to popular belief, representation is key to modeling rather than abstraction. I furthermore show that the common view of models as being per-se descr...
