Abstract:
In order to ensure the safety of mine production, it is of great practical significance to make a reasonable evaluation of the water-yield property (WYP) of a karst aquifer. In this paper, we selected fault-lines distribution, fault-scale index, aquifer thickness, water pressure, consumption of rinsing liquid, and hydraulic conductivity as the evaluation indexes to analyze the WYP of a karst aquifer. Meanwhile, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to calculate the subjective weight of indexes, and the coefficient of variation (CV) is used to calculate the objective weight of indexes. Combined with GIS, a multi-factor composite superposition is carried out to evaluate the WYP of a karst aquifer. The reliability of the research results is verified by the specific yield. Besides, for improving the reliability of evaluation results, the chemical composition of karst water was discussed. The results show that the selection of indexes is reasonable and the AHP-CV method is effective to evaluate the WYP of a karst aquifer. Therefore, on the premise of reasonable index selection, the evaluation models of AHP and CV can be used to evaluate the WYP of a karst aquifer and provide reference for coal mine water control measures.
