Hydrochemical analysis and identification of open-pit mine water sources: a case study from the Dagushan iron mine in Northeast China

Abstract The identification of open-pit mine water sources is of great significance in preventing water disasters. Combined with hydrochemistry and multivariate statistical analysis, this paper systematically analyzed the hydraulic connections between aquifers and the complex seepage water sources i...
