Abstract

 This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of water inundation risks in mineral deposits, integrating geological, hydrogeological, and engineering perspectives. The research focuses on characterizing aquifer properties, groundwater inflow rates, and seasonal fluctuations within key ore-bearing formations. Methods include field-based hydrogeological surveys, cross-sectional modeling, and analytical calculations supported by published technical data. Results highlight the distinct hydrogeological behavior of deposits such as Navoi and Almalyk, where fractured bedrock and fault networks significantly influence water inflow rates, with average mine inflow reaching 360 m³/day for large-scale operations. The discussion addresses the implications for mine dewatering design, long-term groundwater management, and mitigation of water-related operational hazards. This review underscores the importance of integrating hydrogeological modeling with engineering solutions to ensure safe and economically viable mineral extraction.
