THE CONCEPT OF ENSURING WATER PROTECTION OF THE KIMBERLITE MINES OF YAKUTIA

Abstract

The article provides examples of the development of mines near water bodies, as well as summarizes the experience of water protection of mines in the kimberlite deposits of Yaku-tia, which allowed us to form a number of principles that can increase the safety and efficien-cy of the mining system in the conditions under consideration. It is shown that one of the directions of the strategy for the development of mining operations near water bodies should be the control of the mutual correspondence of the pa-rameters of geotechnology and the geomechanical state of the mountain range.
