Firstly, Seepage from rock mass could occur due to discontinues or cracks along the rock mass as a result of either joints, bedding plane, cleavage, foliation etc. that allows the fluid of kinds to pass through it. To control it and keep the project on track. One needs to create a sump for all seeping water to be trapped in for other purpose like wetting of mines routes. Also introducing dewatering pump system to constantly reduce the accumulation of water Seepage in pit/mines. Lastly, before the start of the mines from the geological report, if identified slope failure parameters which could be seepage is noted on set and can led to excessive water during excavation. Such orientation of mines cut face could be changed.

Water seepage is one of the common challenges in mining operations. To keep the project on track it is necessary to make proper drains(i.e. horizontal drains) to channel all the water to the sump. Secondly, Active Dewatering must be done concurrently to handle the seepage flow.
