Aims and Objectives

To analyse the chemical and physical characteristics of

coal seam water, river water, and groundwater.

To determine the recharge, sources of groundwater

from stable isotope, δ18O and δ2H analysis.

To assess the water's viability for irrigation and

consumption.

To determine the health risk that comes with drinking water.

Experimental

Concentrations
of Ca2+, Mg2+
and heavy metals
are measured.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Concentrations of Liquid water isotope analyzer

Na+ and K+ are
measured.

Detects stable isotope ratios in liquid

Flame photometer water samples including
Deuterium/Hydrogen (2H/1H) and
Oxygen/16Oxygen (18O/16O).
All the anions
are analysed
except HCO3-.

Ion Exchange Chromatography

 9 Conclusion

 Results revealed that the water were dominantly of Ca-Mg-HCO3 type, influenced
by rock weathering, agricultural, and anthropogenic sources. Hydrogeochemical
data suggested silicate mineral weathering, during mining.

 Isotopic analysis indicated that groundwater and coal mine water originated from
local rainfall.

 Groundwater with tritium values <1 TU was considered old water.

 Carcinogenic risks were significantly higher for children compared to adults.
