While driving economic growth, mineral resource exploitation significantly impacts regional hydrogeological environments. As mining depth and scale expand, groundwater levels, runoff patterns, and aquifer structures undergo complex changes, leading to imbalanced spatiotemporal distribution of water resources and ecosystem degradation. This study focuses on mineral resource development zones, systematically analyzing issues such as groundwater level decline, surface water pollution, aquifer damage, and geological disasters caused by mining activities. By integrating multi-source monitoring data with hydrogeological models, we evaluate their impact severity and evolution mechanisms. Comprehensive strategies are proposed including dynamic groundwater monitoring, zoned development control, ecological water replenishment, and pollution prevention, providing scientific foundations for protecting and sustainably developing hydrogeological environments in mining areas.
