Abstract: Through the adequate understanding of the sixteen-character principle on coal mine water disaster control claimed in Regulation on Coal Mine Water Disaster Control, considering the great importance of exploration technique applied in the water diaster control work, the comprehensive technique on coal mine water disaster control was developed into six countermeasures including exploration, prevention, grouting, discharging, drainaging and damming. Then, we illustrated each finite meaning of the countermeasures. In addition, gob area water exploration and discharge included in the discharge measure was classified into the exploration measure for formation of a comprehensive technique on the disaster control.
