Title: A user's guide for the prediction of post-mining groundwater chemistry from overburden characteristics
First published: 1989
Description: ABSTRACT: This paper discusses techniques used to predict the chemical composition and salinity of ground water in mine spoil.  The overburden and ground water characteristics are assessed.  The program involved allows calculations of chemical compositions of solutions in equilibrium with solid and gaseous phases.  Also, the remaining soluble salt after one pore-volume of flushing can be confirmed.
