Mine water is a menace to coal mining. Mine water quantity is generally detected by drilling in the coal mine roadway, and the disadvantage is high workload and low efficiency. Therefore, transient electromagnetic method (TEM) was proposed, and TEM data was processed to detect the water yield property of a targeted layer in coal mine. Through a mine-oriented 3D Transient Electromagnetic Method observing system, the signal of induced voltage is obtainable. Transient Electromagnetic Method 3D data volume can be calculated through the calculation of all-time resistivity and time-depth conversion. After an appropriate apparent resistivity value is set, the spatial distribution range of an aquifer can be determined. Then, with water-filling coefficient of the aquifer, its water quantity can be estimated. The water yield property detection results in the No.4 coal seam goaf of the No.80101 workface in Jude Mine of Shanxi, China, demonstrates that the apparent resistivity of this goaf is less than 3 Ω.m, and the projection area of low-resistivity anomaly zone is 22,383 m2. By using the formula Q=KMS, we can estimate that the water volume is 33,574 m3. Three boreholes have been constructed for the later dredging and drainage project, which results in a total water yield of 33,089 m3. The error percentage of the predicted water quantity is less than 1.5%. It can thus be concluded that it is feasible to predict aquifer water content with TEM data.

El agua al interior de las minas es una amenaza para la minería de carbón. La cantidad del agua en las minas se detecta al perforar en las vías del socavón, con la desventaja de la carga de trabajo y la baja eficacia que significan. Por esto, el presente trabajo propone el Método Electromagnético Transitorio (TEM, del inglés Transient Electromagnetic Method) y utiliza la información generada para detectar las propiedades de producción de agua en una capa específica de una mina de carbón. A través de un sistema de observación tridimensional TEM orientado a minas se puede obtener la señal del voltaje inducido. La capacidad de la información del sistema TEM tridimensional se puede calcular al obtener la resistividad y la conversión tiempo-profundidad. Tan pronto se establece el valor apropiado de la resistividad aparente se puede determinar el rango de distribución de un acuífero. Luego, con el coeficiente de saturación del acuífero se puede calcular la cantidad de agua. Los resultados de la detección de las propiedades de producción de agua en la mina abandonada número cuatro de frente de trabajo número 80101 de la mina Jude, en Shanxi, China, demostró que la resistividad aparente de esta excavación es de 3 Ω.m, y el área de proyección de la zona anómala de baja resistividad es 22.383 m2. Al usar la fórmula Q=KMS, se estimó que el volumen de agua es de 33,574 m3. Tres pozos se han construido para el próximo proyecto de dragado y drenaje, cuyos resultados de producción de agua es de 33,089 m3. El porcentaje de error de la predicción de la cantidad de agua es menor al 1.5 %. Se concluye, por ende, que es factible producir el contenido de agua de un acuífero con la información del TEM.
