Abstract: The hydrogeological type of Menkeqing Mine is of complex type, when the production started, working face was designed and arranged respectively in seams 3^-1 and 2^-2. The average distance between two seams is 34 m. During extraction of both seams, the major water-filling aquifer was Qilizhen sandstone aquifer at the bottom of Zhiluo Formation. The pressure of the aquifer was high, up to 4 MPa, the maximum water inflow of a single drainage hole reached 180 m³/h, the water abundance was relatively high, and the distance of the aquifer was mostly less 5 m from seam 2^-2, inducing serious water drops from the roof in during driving in coal roadway of seam 2^-2 and difficulties for cable bolt, the safe production in seam 2^-2 could not be ensured. The authors proposed a mining method with reverse sequence, that is, seam 3^-1 was mined firstly, and when the water yield and pressure dropped enough to ensure smooth driving and extraction in seam 2^-2, the upper seam 2^-2 was mined. The mining practice demonstrated that the scheme was feasible.
