Determination 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 کاملNeutralizing extremely acidic mining lakes by chemical and microbial treatment – Mesocosm Studies
This study is investigating the buffering of extremely acidic mining lakes in the Lusatian open cast lignite mining area and treatment options for these lakes through mesocosm experiments. First results concerning the different buffering systems in the lakes will be shown and discussed. In acidic lakes with similar pH and from the same mining area, the strength of the buffering system can be ve...
متن کاملHydrogeological Issues Concerning the Thar Lignite Prospect
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 m...
متن کاملSpotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Ticks, Germany
To explore increased risk for human Rickettsia spp. infection in Germany, we investigated recreational areas and renatured brown coal surface-mining sites (also used for recreation) for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks. R. raoultii (56.7%), R. slovaca (13.3%), and R. helvetica (>13.4%) were detected in the respective tick species.
متن کاملEvaluation of Alternative Livelihoods Status in Arid and Semiarid Regions of Iran to Improve Sustainability
Abstract. From the perspectives of many environmental and conservative policy makers, improving and diversifying the livelihoods have been found as a mechanism to promote the livelihoods and persuade people to avoid the overexploitation and degradation of natural resources. Due to the fragility of the environment and inconsistency of incomes, the alternative income sources may be promised to wa...
