Abstract Mine water damage is one of the main disasters threatening mine safety during production. The key to mine water hazard prevention and control is determining the main aquifer characteristics that threaten the mine and the hydraulic connections between aquifers and water diversion channels and proposing appropriate preventive measures. This paper focuses on the 16104 working face of the lower coal group in the Luxi coal mine of Shandong Province. The main water-filled aquifer that threatens the no. 16 coal mine is the Carboniferous no. 14 limestone thin-karst aquifer. Before adopting hydrophobic pressure-lowering measures, it is necessary to determine the water yield characteristics of the no. 14 limestone aquifer, the strength of recharging, and the hydraulic connection with the Ordovician limestone aquifer and to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of dredging. First, various geophysical exploration methods were utilized to comprehensively identify the anomalous water yield areas of the aquifer, which were verified by drilling methods. By combining these results with drilling and geophysical results, appropriate drainage and observation holes were selected. Second, a special water discharge stage and sequence were designed to carry out water discharge testing. By analyzing the change of water discharge and water pressure in dewatering test and the change of conventional ion concentration in water samples, the hydrogeological parameters were obtained, the hydrogeological situation was ascertained and the hydraulic connection with the Ordovician limestone aquifer was determined. The drainage time required for the aquifer to attain a safe water pressure and the amount of hydrophobicity were calculated. Through combination with the obtained hydrogeological parameters, the feasibility of depressurization was analyzed. The results show that the water yield property of the no. 14 limestone aquifer is not high, but the connectivity is good. There is a hydraulic connection between the no. 14 and the Ordovician limestone aquifers, but the connection is weak. The no. 14 limestone aquifer of the entire working surface was drained at a rate of 240 m3/h, indicating that the aquifer has good depressurization properties.
