Groundwater conditions in the city of Kyjov after terminating pumping from local mines

Year, pages: 2017, 237 - 243

In the vicinity of the town of Kyjov the coal mines were established in 1824. During the mining the groundwater table was drawdown by more than 20 m due to extensive pumping. The mining activities were abandoned in 1961. At the same time historical mill race was cancelled and filled up. During the next few years the groundwater level raised to its original elevation corresponding approximately with the natural water table before 1824. This study deals with the identification of the main factors contributing to the waterlogging of urban areas in the Kyjov town. Possible conceptual measures to limit waterlogging of individual buildings have been proposed, potential risks associated with particular measures are attached as well.
