CHAPTER-X PUMPING AND DRAINAGE

10.1 Introduction:
Following parameters should be covered briefly under this heading-
• Location of the project,
• General topography of the project,
• Planning of pumping and drainage system to be followed during
excavation.
• Rainfall characteristics
• Hydrogeological studies, if any, etc.
10.2 Source of Water:
 19

In general, the sources of water accumulation inside the quarry area

are as under:
i) Rain water falling directly within the excavated area
ii) Inflow of rain water from back filled area
iii) Inflow of rain water from area beyond excavation
iv) Seepage of water from Strata/ Ground water.
Above points may be elaborated briefly.

10.3 General considerations

10.3.1 General criteria for determining the number of pumps, layout
and design of the pumping installation should be considered as
under:
• Geographical location of the project.
• General climatic conditions, surface features of the terrain
beyond the boundary of the mine.
• Life of the mine
• Calendar plan of excavation of quarry.
• Geological characteristics of OB and coal seams
• Meteorological data of nearest rain-gauge stations
• Catchments areas i.e. mined out areas, areas beyond
excavation, spoil dump area - stage-wise i.e. at the end of 5 th
yr, 10th yr, 15th yr, 20th yr and so on.
• Depth of the quarry – stage-wise i.e. at the end of 5 th yr, 10th
yr, 15th yr, 20th yr and so on.
• Run-off characteristics of the area
• Inflow/seepage from underground water into the mine
• Sump location and its capacity
• Maximum number of days to pump out the accumulated
water in the quarry due to maximum rainfall in a day and the
number of pumping operation hours per day.
• Stand-by capacity required
• Size of pipes, piping layout, etc.
• pH value of water
• Desired location at surface where quarry water can be
discharged considering the surface drainage system
10.3.2 Basic data
The basic data considered for calculating make of water and
pumping capacity should be given under following head:
i) Life of the quarry
ii) Maximum rainfall in a day: From probability curve, if drawn or
data collected from nearby mine
 20

iii) Depth of operation – stage wise

iv) Catchment areas – stage wise
v) Run-off coefficients considered
vi) Seepage/inflow of water into the mine
vii) Time required to dewater the accumulated water, etc.
10.4 Assessment of Maximum Rainfall in a day
a) The value of maximum daily precipitation has to be determined from
a probability curve to be drawn by extrapolating the recorded data
received from nearest meteorological station for a period of 10
years or more. Extrapolated rainfall data and observed maximum
daily rainfall data may be shown in table form separately. In that
case, Probability curve has to be incorporated in the report as Fig-
xx.
b) In absence of any meteorological data, maximum daily rainfall has
to be considered in line with the data collected from nearby mine or
has to be assumed from rainfall data recorded in Geological Report.
10.5 Assessment of volume of water to be pumped
10.5.1 Volume of rainwater entering in to the mine and accumulating in
the quarry (make of water) has to be assessed on the basis of
the following formula:
Q = A x H x n m3/day
Where, A - Catchment area in m2
H - Maximum daily precipitation in m
n - Run-off co-efficient
Suggested co-efficient (n) of Run-off (R.O.C)
 Steep, rocky ground, abrupt slope - 0.9
 Rough, hilly country, moderate slope - 0.6
 Uneven terrain with very wide valley - 0.5
 Rolling form land, long narrow valley - 0.3
 Level terrain with thick soil cover - 0.1 to 0.2
Based on the above-suggested co-efficients, R.O.C for following
areas must be fixed:
- for mined out area - n1
- for area beyond excavation - n2
- for internal dumped area - n3

NB: The external dump area will not be considered in the area beyond
excavation because gradient of dump should be opposite of the quarry. Mined
out area will include areas of working benches also.
 21

10.5.2 Detail calculations (year-wise) of volume of water accumulated

in the day of maximum rainfall considering seepage from ground
water should be given in tabular form.

10.5.3 Calculation of selection of head generated for main pumps may

be given or basis of assumption of head should be mentioned.

10.6 Pumping Capacity

Pumping system has been designed for the volume of water
accumulated in the mine at the final stage of production considering
maximum daily rainfall as _______ mm.

Peak pumping capacity worked out as ____________ Cu.m.

Above volume of water will be dewatered in 5/6 days at the rate of

20/18 hours pumping per day.

Pumping capacity per day thus worked out as: xxxxx Cum

10.7 Selection of Pumps and Delivery Ranges

a) Pumps selected i.e. Main pumps, Auxiliary pumps, slurry
pumps, Face pumps, self-priming pump, diesel pumps, etc
should be mentioned under this heading.
b) Suction/Delivery ranges selected for above pumps should be
mentioned.

10.8 Capital Investment

The capital investment requirement has to be given in Appendix.
