Abstract

This article discusses the determination of water saturation levels in mine workings and the assessment of their influence on the stability of underground mining structures. The study analyzes the impact of groundwater on the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, including changes in strength characteristics, pore pressure, and deformation behavior of the rock mass. The application of visual observations, laboratory investigations, and hydrogeological methods for identifying water-saturated zones around mine workings is considered. Recommendations are proposed to reduce the negative effects of water inflow and ensure long-term stability of underground workings through effective engineering measures, including drainage systems, grouting operations, and modern support technologies. The obtained results are important for predicting hydrogeological risks and improving the safety of underground mining operations.
