Abstract

The Sudamdih mine area situated in the Jharia coal fields of Bihar, India, has several old workings that have been abandoned due to waterlogging. During the development of several horizons in recent years heavy seepage of water was noted. An attempt has been made to find out the hydraulic link of the seepage water with one or more of the nearby water bodies, i.e. the Damodar River, a surface pond, groundwater etc. Preliminary study based on environmental isotopes, of tritium and oxygen-18, shows that most of the seepage water is probably derived from local groundwater.
