An efficient dewatering scheme helps the management authority of mines in decision-making on the minimum quantity of withdrawal of groundwater from open-cast mines to avoid excessive groundwater withdrawal from the mines. Karst aquifers are characterized by a dual flow system consisting of Darcy flow and non-Darcy flow in the Matrix and conduits respectively. Due to lack of site-specific data, it is difficult to model the flow behavior in the dual flow system. This study evaluated equivalent porous medium (EPM) approach and the hybrid approach/combined discrete-continuum approach (CDC) for modeling groundwater flow in a karst aquifer and found that hybrid approach is suitable for modeling the flow in the karst aquifer system. Hybrid approach is applied to derive the optimum dewatering scheme for safe mining of limestone in the Adanakurichi limestone mines of Tamil Nadu, India and was found that an additional 20% increase in pumping is required in the year 2020 compared to 2016 to bring the water level to the limestone bottom. Wavelet coherence diagram was used to identify the interrelation between rainfall and groundwater levels, and also between the groundwater levels at different locations. The results from the study will be helpful for the better management of groundwater control operations in karst aquifers, under various safe level of operations. MODFLOW 2005 was used to model the aquifer based on EPM approach and for modeling based on hybrid approach conduit fow process (CFP) Mode 1in MODFLOW was used.
