groundwaters Explanation: Mining activity has had a major impact on groundwater quality in the region. This is particularly the case for the samples collected directly from discharges (pumped or gravity flows) from abandoned coal mines. Six samples of groundwater were sourced directly from abandoned coal mines, and show a wide range of chemical types. The mine-discharges are typical strongly mineralised, with high electrical conductivity (SEC) values and particularly high concentrations of HCO3, Ca, SO4, Fe and Mn. The waters are generally low in dissolved oxygen and show the evidence of pyrite oxidation within the mines. The pH values are generally well-buffered and alkalinity is high, indicating significant reaction with carbonate material in the aquifers. - https://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/groundwater/quality/baselineS... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-08-11 11:15:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "groundwater" - singular .. |

seepage waters Explanation: wygląda że są to wody ściekowe z różnych źródeł, które napłynły do kopalni, i już nie mogą nigdzie głębiej przeniknąć przez nieprzepuszczalną warstę spągu ... ----- Spąg (ang. thill) – dolna powierzchnia warstwy skalnej (spąg warstwy), pokładu (spąg pokładu) lub wyrobiska (spąg wyrobiska). Na podstawie stropu lub spągu określa się bieg i upad warstwy oraz granice złoża - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spąg ----- thill (geology) underclay - https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/thill -- underclay (geology) A layer of clay or other fine-grained detrital material underlying a coal bed or comprising the floor of a coal seam. Also known as coal clay; root clay; seat clay; seat earth; thill; underearth; warrant. - https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/underclay |

floor water Explanation: The causes and problems of coal mine drainage, particularly acid mine drainage, in the Eastern and Interior Coal Provinces of the United States are well documented. West of the Mississippi River, where coal mines account for about 45% of total US coal production and where acid mine drainage is rare, the chemical evolution of coal mine drainage is less well documented and understood. https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S00221694000027... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00221... |
