Using water-level fluctuations in response to Earth-tide and barometric-pressure changes to measure the in-situ hydrogeological properties of an overburden aquifer in a coalfield

For the quantitative evaluation of the impact of mining on a groundwater system, it is necessary to constrain the hydrogeological and mechanical properties. However, the in situ estimation of the mechanical properties of rock such as compressibility and porosity, is often difficult. Additionally, determining the hydraulic properties such as hydraulic conductivity, of rock by conventional methods is often expensive. The response of the...
