Abstract

The Surat Groundwater system include shallow, intermediate, coal seam and deep groundwater system. The shallow groundwater resources in Surat basin has been developed over the years for irrigation, stock, domestic and other uses. Extraction water from this aquifer is critical to support the local irrigation. With the large-scale CSG production beginning in the Surat basin, the hydraulic connection between the shallow groundwater and coal seam water become a key problem. This paper first gives an introduction on geology and hydrogeology of the region and then gives a brief view of CSG production affects the groundwater level based on the Condamine interconnectivity test analysis, the monitor results of groundwater level and groundwater level drawdown numerical model predictions. Results show that groundwater levels provide little to no effect relative to CSG production. Further study and simulation work will continue to research CSG and groundwater connections.
