The invention discloses a monitoring and forecasting method for water
bursting hazards on the roof and floor of a
coal working face. The method comprises the steps that electrodes are arranged in drilled holes as power supply and measurement electrodes, and two infinite electrodes are arranged in roadways as auxiliary power supply and measurement electrodes, so that a power supply and measurement
system is formed; the power supply electrodes feed direct currents into strata to establish an artificial
electric field, and the other electrodes in the drilled holes in the same stratum measure potential simultaneously; the power supply electrodes are changed,
potential measurement is repeated until all the electrodes complete power supply, and one-time monitoring measurement is completed; when
coal mining is not started on the
coal working face, the obtained potential serves as a background value; in the working face mining process, stress of the strata changes, cracks are generated to form water migration pathways, distribution of
equipotential surfaces of a point power supply field will be changed, and information of water
bursting around the drilled holes is obtained by monitoring the change. The invention further discloses a monitoring and forecasting device. By the adoption of the monitoring and forecasting method and device, change of geoelectric features around the drilled holes can be monitored in real time.
