Coal Mine Water Level Detection and Reusability

Cilla Mary Mathew

Abstract: Nowadays, groundwater is filling up the coal mines, making the coal in - useable. This system will help in detecting the groundwater level and alert the miners when the safe level is breached. The sensors placed will start the motor using IOT and pump the water to a treatment plant placed near the mine. Piezometer is a measurement device that can be used to detect the ground water level. This water will be treated and made useful. The pump will stop when the groundwater level has reached the safe groundwater yield level. The alert system is using IOT. The water extracted from the mines can be treated using different technologies. These technologies may include microfiltration, hyperfiltration, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. After treating, this can be used for various purposes, daily needs of the miners etc.
