Description: ABSTRACT: This study explains the influence of strip mines after mining and reclamation is finished on the flow patterns of groundwater in the area.  It was found that the groundwater levels are controlled by local discharge areas, type of landscape, changes in the rate of recharge through the spoil, and changes in the hydrolic conductivity of the spoil.
