8 Case study: Applied glacier hydrology at Høganesbreen Coal mining in Svea Can water intrusions in a mine beneath Høganesbreen be evacuated subglacially? SNSK requested recommendations from UiO Problem: water intrusions trouble mining activities beneath the glacier Idea: drainage tunnel to the bed of Høganesbreen Pumping the water from the mine is expensive Høganesbreen Gruvefonna Can water intrusions in the mine be evacuated subglacially? Høganesbreen Gruvefonna?? mine During summer Q max ~ m 3 d -1???? drainage tunnel mine 8
9 Strategy Can we expect a channelized drainage system in the region where the tunnel should connect to the glacier bed? (hydraulic potential mapping surface & bedrock topography) Bedrock topography by radar upper part of Høganesbreen in the area of the planned drainage tunnel If so, will the water drain gravitationally away from the mine? (R-channel model glacier geometry, ice temperature & water discharge) Interpolation of ice-thickness measurements and construction of a bedrock map Direction of water flow From experience: Water flow follows the topographic gradient pump (high pressure) and Water flows from high pressure to lower pressure 9
10 Hydraulic potential Hydraulic potential mapping h Definition: Φ = ρw g z + pw Assume: pw= f pi = f ρigh, Alternative: express Φ in terms of water column H = z+h, f є [0,1] pw=ρwgh) principles: water flows from higher to lower potential flow is perpendicular to isopotential lines f = 0.5 f = 1.0 Modeling discharge through a R-channel f = 0.0 Model input: water discharge in the mine (estimated from pump rates) short artic melt saison Nye, 1976; Spring & Hutter, 1982; Clarke, 1982; Ng, 1998; Clarke, Time-dependent geometry of an ice-walled conduit: ρ g h z da ρ g * + = C w Q (t ) (1 γ ) + ( heat transfer) 2 AB w h h ρi L x x dt n ( size melt-enlargement creep-closure ) time (d) n Two scenarios were calculated using different flow law parameters for the ice 10
11 Model results: pressure evolution in the artificial drainage tunnel Even in an extreme case, open-channel conditions will last for less than two months We recommend NOT to proceed with the construction of an artificial drainage tunnel Under pressurized conditions, water would drain into rather than away from the mine future mining area will be significantly enlarged Water transfer from the glacier to the mine Will the amount of water input increase with the enlargement of the mine? And, if so, can we estimate how much? bedrock underneath the glacier disturbed by collapsing mine 11
12 Approach Melt model validation Melt-water production, spatially distributed Monitoring of water discharge in the mine M = (MF + a ice/snow *DIR) * T+ (Hock, 1999) Transfer model glacier surface mine Records of pump rate Future evolution of melt-water intrusions (total volume, peak discharge) Model results Contributing glacier surface? 1) Perfect and direct vertical water transfer 2) Lateral water influx along the glacier bed (hydraulic potential surface) Svea Nord Svea Nord 12
13 Results Subglacial catchment Distribution of subglacial hydraulic potential based on maps of bedrock topography and glacier surface: H = z + ρ i / ρ w h i Modeled melt production (1.7*10 6 m 3 ) accounts only for 60% of measured discharge (2.8*10 6 m 3 ) Mapping the subglacial catchment area for the actual mine and several steps of future enlargement Calculated melt water volume (2.85*10 6 m 3 ) agrees with measured discharge (2.83*10 6 m 3 ) Transfer glacier mine Prediction surface melt water + rain linear reservoir mine discharge melt water production measured discharge simulated discharge (k=14d) With the enlargement of the mine, the volume of water intrusions will progressively increase up to 3.5 times of the actual value. Diurnal peak discharge will increase similarly (54*10 3 m 3 s *10 3 m 3 s -1 ). 13
14 Summary of results Calibrated melt model (80% accuracy) Delineation of the subglacial catchment area using subglacial hydraulic potential. Transfer glacier mine can be described using a linear reservoir approach (k = 14 d). The model predicts a progressive increase of the water intrusions up to a factor of 3.5 with enlargement of the mine. The scenarios are based on meteo data from 2003 and assume parameter values being constant. Thus, the actual form of the hydrograph will vary from year to year (according to weather pattern). Where does all this water come from?? Comparison meteo data Mass balance from stake readings: 2003: ~-1200 mm w.e. 2004: ~-1400 mm w.e. Probably slightly more melt in
