A regional mining company observed an unexplained, continual decrease in the water level of their mine water lake. As the existing dam appeared to be intact, the lead engineer assumed that subterranean karst features within the bedrock were responsible for the seepage and asked Mundell to perform a detailed geophysical survey. After collecting eight 2-D resistivity profiles across the site, all of which showed some level of karst development within the bedrock, we were able to detail the primary flow pathways, and make recommendations to the mine regarding the remediation of the seepage……Read More »
