The positive effects generated by large-scale underground mining in China's western semi-arid region have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Accurately understanding and scientifically utilizing these positive effects in mines plays a significant role in saving ecological restoration costs for mines. To reveal the perturbation characteristics of subsidence basins on precipitable water vapor (PWV), this study investigated the Daliuta mine in the Shendong mining area. Based on the simulation results of the atmospheric radiative transfer model and the ground-based GPS real-time observation data, this study constructed a water vapor inversion model using Sentinel-2 satellite images, obtaining the near-surface PWV content from 2017 to 2021 in the Daliuta mine. Furthermore, this study analyzed the near-surface PWV distributions in the single-mining-face subsidence basin and the mining-face-group subsidence area. By deploying HOBO temperature and humidity sensors on site, this study comparatively analyzed the near-surface relative humidity inside and outside the subsidence basin. The results indicate that subsidence basins showed positive convergence effects on PWV. Specifically, the near-surface PWV in the single-mining-face subsidence basin decreased gradually from the inside to the outside of the basin. The near-surface PWV in the mining-face-group subsidence area was significantly improved after mining. The relative humidity was significantly higher inside the subsidence basin compared to the outside. The differences in relative humidity in the vertical direction from the surface were 14.52, 13.53, 12.43, 10.60, and 10.33 percentege point, respectively, indicating gradually weakening water vapor convergence effects in the subsidence basin with an increase in elevation. The water vapor convergence effects were significant at nighttime but nonsignificant at daytime. Finally, based on vegetation surveys and previous studies, this study proposed a conceptual model for water vapor convergence effects in subsidence basins to explain the mechanism governing water vapor convergence. Additionally, subsidence basins somewhat contribute to the benign cycle of ecosystems in semi-arid mining areas.
