Abstract

The present disclosure provides a comprehensive utilization method and test equipment for surface water, a goaf and geothermal energy in a coal mining subsidence area. The method comprises the following steps: determining a geothermal water collection area, arranging heat energy exchange equipment in a main roadway, and arranging a geothermal water extraction system, wherein the geothermal water extraction system comprises geothermal wells, extraction pipelines and tail water reinjection pipelines, the extraction pipelines are connected with the heat energy exchange equipment, and the tail water reinjection pipelines are connected with a water outlet of the heat energy exchange equipment; arranging a water channel on the surface, and arranging a drainage system on a subsidence trough to guide surface water to flow underground; and controlling directional and ordered flow of surface water through the coal mining subsidence area formed by ground mining to achieve sustainable mining of underground water.
