Abstract: To solve the water hazard problem of Jurassic coal seam roof sandstone in Yinxing No.1 Coal Mine of Ningxia Province, the direct relationship between the sedimentary environment of Jurassic coal seam roof sandstone and water abundance was analyzed and the water abundance of sandstone aquifer was evaluated on the basis of combing the geological and hydro-geological conditions of the mine. The mechanism and characteristics of water disaster in Jurassic coal seam roof sandstone were analyzed based on the study of the mechanical properties, mineral composition, water stability characteristics and water-conducting fracture development law of coal seam roof strata. In this paper, we propose the idea of comprehensively applying various measures of “exploration, drainage, discharge, interception and monitoring”, and focusing on the basic exploration work, using hydrophobic and depressurizing technology to control water damage. The water damage control effect of 110301 working face show that it was feasible to control the sandstone water damage on the roof of Jurassic coal seam through hydrophobic depressurization.
