Based on the hydro-geological survey, sampling analysis and combined with ground water flow systems theory, the work studied coal gangue leachate of a typical sandy base coal waste field in Erdos on ground water environmental impact. The results showed that pile of coal waste change the original characteristics of ground water flow systems, coal waste field from ground water discharge areas change into the runoff area, the bottom of Gangue heap immersion in ground water long term, the toxic and hazardous substances released and spread to the downstream by ground water runoff. Chromium, arsenic, fluoride, sulfateradical, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese and other pollution factors in the downstream ground water of gangue field and surface outlet is much higher than background value, where concentration of arsenic and NO3–N is 1.013mg / l and 31.2 mg / l, respectively higher than the background value which is 148 and 3 times.

Hydrogeologists and ground water geochemists have observed a decline in the measured (platinum electrode) potential, EH, of ground water as it migrates from upland recharge areas to lowland discharge areas under confined conditions. Such variations in EH and variations in concentrations of elements with variable oxidation states (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, iron, manganese, sulfur, and carbon) can be accounted for by a sequence of oxidation–reduction reactions occurring in the flow systems, the sequence being based on thermodynamic principles as outlined by Stumm and the microbial catalysis of such reactions. This sequence of reactions results in the identification of three redox zones in ground water flow systems: (1) oxygen–nitrate, (2) iron–manganese, and (3) sulfide. The mobility and concentration of most transition metal and nonmetal ions vary according to zone—a matter of considerable significance in exploration geochemistry and in ground water pollution studies.
