We analyzed the suitability and rationality of applying this method to seepage curtain by comparing the calculation results with in-situ permeability test results together with seepage control value, seepage amount, water pressure, and precipitation behind the curtain, and on this basis further evaluated the status of seepage curtain. Results demonstrate that permeability coefficient calculated by water quality indicators could well reflect the seepage status of grouting curtain. This paper is of referential value for evaluating the anti-seepage performance of grouting curtain in similar projects. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20171055
