Mining Influence in the Area of the Pszczynka River and the Method of Riverbed Restoration

This paper investigates the influence of extraction on the surface in the area of the Pszczynka river. The mining-enhanced terrain subsidence hitherto observed has also resulted in the subsidence of the riverbed and its embankment. Some geotechnical solutions are proposed, including the reconstruction and repair of damage to the existing infrastructure. Such measures should facilitate a proper flow of water in the riverbed which is similar to a natural flow.
