Mine Dewatering Strategy: Reaching the Deposit at the face of Surface water
picture @Edo LGA in a Dolomite Quarry Dewatering operation is one of the most sensitive and continuous operation during raining season. The approach to this operation depends on the mine design, mining method and other factors including the mine terrain. Most surface mine can not escape the challenge of surface water inflow but can be overcome through proper dewatering plan. Dewatering is define as the process of removing unwanted collection of water in the mine. It describe as the approach use in remove water from mine pit so as to gain access to the ore deposit. In view of surface Mining methods, which involves the extraction of deposit with less overburden thickness. The mining approach adopt in surface Mining methods are such that a cavity is advance into the Earth crust. Such cavity has lower attitude compare to the nearby environment which prompt the collection of water into it. Mine out area (stope, pit) recieve water from: 1. Surface run-off water 2. Direct precipit...
