This study is focused on of impact of coal mining on water resources. Subsurface water level subsidence and water contamination due to wash off, mine water discharge, acid mine drainage, and coal washing operations in the Raniganj coalfield area are caused by mining activities. Pumping operations release water from mines, and decline subsurface water levels. Water pollution occurs in mining areas by physically, which results from silting in water bodies and chemically by containing trace elements. The main objectives of this research paper are to detect the problems related to the impacts of mining on water resources. And, to find out the remedies of those problems with the help of primary and secondary data and their analysis using proper methodology and technique.

Subsurface water table, Mine water, Acid mine drainage, Trace elements and Overburden dumps.
