Punch longwall mining increases the risk of mine inundation due to the low elevation and wide catchment area. Large levees are constructed to protect the open pit from flooding by adjacent rivers. Sumps constructed against the highwall between the headgate and tailgate portals control rainfall and rock hazards in the pit catchment.

Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining that allows industry to mine massive blocks of coal more efficiently and with fewer miners than previous mining methods. Once done with pick and shovel and mules, underground coal mining progressed to using machines that could extract more coal at a faster rate of production.

A General Review on Longwall Mining-Induced Fractures in Near-Face Regions: It is believed that underground longwall mining usually produces fractures in the surrounding rocks. On the one hand, mining-induced fractures not only degrade the strength of the rock mass but also serve as main channels for fluids (e.g., water and methane). Fractures facilitate the failure of the rock mass and fluid ...
