Effects of Backfilling Excavated Underground Space on Reducing Acid Mine Drainage in an Abandoned Mine

Three-dimensional groundwater flow around an abandoned mine was simulated to evaluate the effects of backfilling the excavated underground space of the mine on reducing the acid mine drainage (AMD). The conceptual model of the groundwater flow consists of not only variable geological formations but...
