Summary
The document describes simulated groundwater table drawdown in the Karoo aquifer, noting that the zone of impact for the deeper fractured aquifer extends approximately 2 km north of the mine, though significant impacts are limited to areas immediately above the underground workings.
Key insights
- The simulated steady-state zone of impact of underground workings on the deeper fractured aquifer extends primarily around or above 2 km downstream or North of the mine, using a 5m cut-off to account for simulation uncertainty.
- The deeper fractured aquifer is viewed as less sensitive to water table drawdown; significant impacts involving drawdowns exceeding 20m are expected to be restricted to the area directly above the underground mine workings.
