Conceptual and Numerical Hydrogeological Models: Prediction of Risk Zones and Estimation of Flows in an Underground Mine

This presentation addresses the construction of a conceptual hydrogeological model, and its subsequent update to a numerical model, to understand the mechanisms of storage and transmission of groundwater in a mine where structural control is the factor that conditions the flow of water to the works. Both models aim to identify areas that favor the entry of water into the works and make predictive estimates of the maximum flows that allow evaluating the pumping capacity currently installed and preventing a flood event in the mine.
