Short summary

The solution mining of salt mineral resources may contaminate groundwater and lead to water inrush out of the ground due to brine leakage. The geological condition determines the total risk; physical–chemical reaction principle analysis and hydrogeochemical simulation can determine the source of the brine leakage and identify the mixed proportion of inrush water in a multilayered rock salt mining area. The research is advantageous for groundwater protection and public health.
