Description
Yuteng Li and co-authors built a surface monitoring system in 2026 to watch for sudden water rushes in very thick coal seams in northern Shaanxi. Such rushes are hard to predict because the cracks that carry water form in a bent, delayed pattern under the dry sand at the surface.
Their system maps electrical resistance below ground over time, using wet soil and deeply buried sensors to reach weak deep signals. It showed the rush center sat about 110 meters behind the mining face, not at it. The water channel had a funnel shape, wide at top and narrow below, formed when a key rock layer snapped. Mine water data backed the images.
