Abstract The poor condition of river diversion channels can prevent mining companies from relinquishing their mine to the government after mining has ceased. Many regions lack a locally derived template for integrating appropriate geomorphic and hydraulic conditions from unmodified river channels into river diversion designs to help guide post-mining closure activities. Establishing baseline geomorphic reference criteria for unmodified catchments can guide restoration efforts to allow recovery and stability of the fluvial system. Design-wise, channels should be built so that flow conditions are able to move sediment, but not high enough to accelerate erosion in the channel. We used natural headwater channels to inform a regional guide for geomorphic criteria for artificial channels constructed in the Pilbara, Western Australia. We provide guideline hydraulic criteria for specific channel types, including velocity, stream power, and bed shear stress values for five key channel types: alluvial single thread (≥ cobble) and single thread (sand), bedrock/confined channel sections, island-barform channels, and heavily vegetated channels.

Abstract We tested the suitability of the multiple interactive continua approach (MINC) to simulate reactive mass transport in a disturbed post-mining coal zone. To the authors’ knowledge, this approach has not been employed in such mining settings despite its relative success in other environmental fields. To this end, TOUGHREACT software was used to set up a MINC model of the unsaturated overburden of the Ibbenbüren Westfield. With it, we examined and evaluated water–rock interactions in both the fractured and porous continua as the main driver of elevated hydrogen, iron, sulfate, and chloride concentrations in the coal mine groundwater. Long and seasonal geochemical signatures were obtained by formulating and applying a five-stage modelling process that depicts the mining history of the area. The simulation results agree well with the concentrations and discharge trends measured in the mine drainage. Oxygen and meteoric water flow through the fractured continuum, leading to a high and steady release of hydrogen, iron, and sulfate ions derived from pyrite oxidation in the matrix continua closest to the fractures. Likewise, high chloride concentrations resulted from the mixing and gradual release of relatively immobile solutes in the matrix as they interacted with percolating water in the fracture. In both cases, the use of a multiple continua approach was essential to resolve sharp gradients for advection and faster kinetic reactions, while reducing the model’s dependence on block size for diffusive transport at the fracture–matrix interface. The model further allows for the calculation and analysis of solute exchange and transport in the unsaturated overburden resulting from rebound and imbibition processes, something pioneering when compared to other models in the field.
