Abstract
Stability and dewatering are important and priority in mining works, and hydraulic and hydrogeological studies are inevitable in mining
sites. Especially in open pit mining, the presence of surface and groundwater in landslide and slope drift triggers stability problems. In this
study, it was aimed to estimate the groundwater situation and level in the region for an open coal mine slope analysis in Amasya-Merzifon
location. For this purpose, general hydraulic-hydrogeological data such as climate, vegetation, streams, water points, permeability of the soils
have been compiled, precipitation basin, borders of the sub-basin where the mining area, drainage networks have been determined, and feedingdischarging has been estimated. Groundwater map was created, and water flow directions were drawn using 70 water wells that were drilled
in the region and their flow rates ranged from 2 L/s. to 64 L/s. The condition of the groundwater table was determined from the prepared map,
cross-section, and conceptual models, and it was seen that it is below the current operating levels and the results were used in slope stability
analysis.
