1 MULTI-LEVEL DATA AS A KEY COMPONENT FOR A HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF AN UNDERGROUND MINE
Development of reasonable hydrogeologic conceptual models is an integral step in any hydrogeological study. For underground mines in the Canadian Shield, where the presence of distributed workings, faults and surficial tailings impoundments exist, an understanding of both horizontal and vertical gra...
