It is of great importance to determine the risk grades of the leakage and non-leakage cases of concentrated saltwater from an underground reservoir for the safe operation of reservoirs and environmental protection. In this paper, the model of risk evaluation for environmental pollution of an underground reservoir stored with concentrated saltwater is established. Moreover, the effects of different influencing factors on the risk grades are investigated, along with an uncertainty analysis. In addition, the risk grade of Lingxin Mining Area is calculated, which can contribute to the prevention and control of pollution in the future for that area. The results show that the water quality complexity of mine water is the most significant indicator for risk grade determination. The certainty of weak-risk grade for environmental pollution caused by an underground reservoir when there is no leakage is more than 60% in the Lingxin Mining Area, and the risk grade becomes a strong-risk grade rapidly after concentrated saltwater leakage is considered. This research can provide a theoretical basis for risk control and management of underground reservoirs storing concentrated saltwater.
