Accurate and reliable evaluations of potential groundwater areas are of significance in the hydrogeological assessments of coalfields because water inrush disasters may be caused by unclear groundwater potential. A three-dimensional geological model of porosity based on deterministic modeling and a facies-controlled method are used to determine the groundwater potential of the coal measure aquifer. The modeling processes are as follows: based on the interlayer and discontinuity (faults) data extracted from boreholes and geological maps, an integrated sequence framework model is developed. Using the results of sedimentary microfacies identification and the method of deterministic modeling, a sedimentary microfacies model is successfully established. Finally, based on facies-controlled and sequential Gaussian methods, an effective porosity model is established that can predict the groundwater potential. The predicted results show that sandstones sedimented in channel, point bar, and batture environments possess high effective porosity and strong groundwater potential; however, the sandstones sedimented in interdistributary bays, flood plains, and sand sheets possess low effective porosity. Model validation was performed based on the hydrological pumping test data collected from observation boreholes, drainage water inflow data from dewatered boreholes in the tunnel around workface, and the mine water inflow in tunnels and the workfaces. The validation analysis results show that the effective porosity and sedimentary facies were correlated with the actual flux. The predicted results are consistent with the actual flux data, validating the predicted model.
