Long-term extensive mining of Zn-Pb ores in the Olkusz area resulted in significant changes of water table levels and chemical composition of water in all aquifers in this area. Within the Permian aquifer, hydrochemical type of water evolved in two general stages. Short-term effect was freshening in the zones of contact with overlying the Triassic limestones and dolomites. Long-term effect was a change in flow pattern and, as a consequence, an inflow of naturally altered and antropogenically contaminated water from the Triassic aquifer into the Permian complex. This was especially intensive in densely fissured and fault zones. As a result of all these processes, hydrochemical type of water shifted from multi-ion types with various combinations of ions towards higher shares of sulphates, calcium and magnesium.

Systematically studying the hydrochemical evolution of bedrock groundwater in mining areas during mining process is crucial for effective groundwater resource management and coal mine production. The spatiotemporal characteristics and hydrochemical evolution patterns of the Permian fractured sandstone aquifer (PA) and the Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation limestone aquifer (CTA), both of which are directly associated with coal mining in the northern Linhuan mining area, China, were investigated using multivariate statistical analyses, hydrochemical graphical methods, ion ratio analysis, and a conceptual model. 72 groundwater samples, collected before and after mining, were classified into four groups by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).

Large-scale open-pit combined underground mining activities (OUM) not only reshape the original topography, geomorphology, and hydrogeochemical environment of the mining area, but also alter the regional water cycle conditions. However, due to the complexity arising from the coexistence of two coal mining technologies (open-pit and underground mining), the hydrological environmental effects remain unclear. Here, we selected the Pingshuo Mining Area in China, one of the most modernized open-pit combined underground mining regions, as the focus of our research.

The groundwater hydrodynamic and hydrochemical process of the multi-aquifer system will experience complicated and serious influence under deep coal mining disturbance. There is relatively little research that has integrated hydrodynamic and hydrochemical properties of groundwater to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and evolution patterns of hydrogeochemistry and hydrodynamic information in deep multi-aquifer systems. The study of the groundwater hydrodynamic and hydrochemical spatiotemporal coupling response of multi-aquifer systems under the deep and special thick coal seam mining-motivated effect in ecologically fragile western mining areas is of great significance for the safe mining of coal resources and ecological environment protection.
