چکیده

جهت طراحی سیستم زهکشی مناسب در یک معدن روباز، به شناخت دقیق شرایط هیدروژئولوژیکی و عوامل موثر بر وضعیت آب‌های زیرزمینی منطقه معدنی نیاز است. از عوامل مهم برای بررسی شرایط هیدروژئولوژیکی یک منطقه معدنی، شناخت وضعیت حوضه آبریز، تغییرات زمانی و مکانی سطح پیزومتریک و دامنه اختلالات ناشی از فعالیت‌های معدنکاری، شرایط جوی و وضعیت تکتونیکی منطقه است. شرایط هیدرولوژیکی و هیدروژئولوژیکی معدن روباز سنگ آهن سنگان نیز متاثر از عوامل جوی مانند بارش و عوامل تکتونیکی شامل تعداد گسل‌ها و روند ‌آن‌ها، فواصل و ارتباط آن‌ها با یکدیگر است. بر این اساس در این تحقیق، تاثیر عوامل مختلف شامل میزان بارندگی، آبراهه‌ها، وضعیت تکتونیک و گسل‌های منطقه و گسترش پیت معدن در طول دوره بهره‌برداری بر نوسانات سطح آب زیرزمینی حوضه آبریز منطقه معدنی سنگ آهن سنگان ارزیابی شد. با بررسی نوسانات سطح پیزومتریک ناشی از این عوامل در دوره زمانی اسفند 1389 تا اسفند 1392 و تحلیل نمودارها و نقشه‌ها مشخص شد که از بین عوامل یاد شده، گسترش پیت آنومالی Cn بیشترین تاثیر را بر افت سطح پیزومتریک آنومالی‌های غربی منطقه سنگان دارد. با ترسیم نمودار همبستگی بین فاصله از پیت و تغییرات تراز آب زیرزمینی مناطق مجاور آنومالی Cn و به دست آمدن ضریب همبستگی حدود 94%، مشخص گردید که شعاع تاثیر گسترش این پیت بر تغییر تراز آب زیرزمینی مناطق مجاور حدود 700 متر است. همچنین، مشخص شد که عواملی همچون میزان بارندگی، وضعیت آبراهه‌ها و وضعیت تکتونیک به طور مستقیم بر نوسانات سطح آب زیرزمینی آنومالی‌های غربی تاثیر چندانی نمی‌گذارند.

چکیده [English]

In order to design an appropriate dewatering system in an open pit mine, it is necessary to know the hydrogeological conditions and factors affecting the condition of groundwater in the mining area. One of the important factors for investigating the hydrogeological conditions of a mining site is to know the status of the catchment area, temporal and spatial changes of the piezometric levels and the range of disturbances caused by mining activities, climate conditions and the tectonic state of the mining area. The hydrological and hydrogeological conditions of Sangan iron mine are also affected by climate factors such as precipitation and tectonic factors including the number of faults and their trends, their distances and their relationship with each other. Therefore, in this study, the influence of various factors including precipitation, distance from waterways, tectonic status and faults, and the pit development during the exploitation period on the fluctuation of groundwater were investigated. By examining the fluctuations of the piezometric levels caused by these factors in the period from March 2011 to March 2014 and statistical analysis of the results, it was found that among the affecting factors, the Cn-pit expansion has the greatest effect on the groundwater level fluctuation of the western anomalies of Sangan mine. By drawing the ccorrelation diagram between the distance from Cn-Pit and the groundwater level drop of observation piezometers of the nearby areas of the Cn-pit, and obtaining a coefficient of determination equal to 0.94 (R2=0.94), it was found that the radius of the influence of the Cn-pit expansion on the changes in the groundwater level of the adjacent areas is about 700 meters. In addition, it was found that the amount of precipitation and the distance from the waterways do not have a significant effect on the groundwater level fluctuations in the study area.
