Currently, the mine water inflow is often forecasted by using the large diameter well method, but under complicated hydrogeological conditions where Dupuit well flow formula is not suitable, the said method is not applicable. The paper takes an example of the water inflow forecast of Chaokewula Coal Mine and discusses the solution of adopting the numerical simulation software Visual Modflow: the simulation scope is defined by analyzing the hydrogeological conditions of Chaokewula Coal Mine to set a mathematical model that fits the actual situation. The model can be identified and verified based on the set model boundary conditions, model spatial discretization, initial conditions and simulation period. Forecast the water inflow of each working face in 30 years by using the underground water numerical simulation software Visual MODFLOW so as to provide a basis for the stability estimation of the mines power plant water supply.
