Abstract: The development height of the water-conducting fracture zone (WCFZ) is crucial for the safe production of coal mines. The back-propagation neural network (BP-NN) can be utilized to forecast the WCFZ height, aiding coal mines in water hazard prevention and control efforts. However, the stochastic generation of initial weights and thresholds in BP-NN usually leads to local optima, which might reduce the prediction accuracy. This study thus invokes the excellent global optimization capability of the Improved Radial Movement Optimization (IRMO) algorithm to optimize BP-NN. The influences of mining thickness, coal seam depth, working width, and hard rock lithology proportion coefficient on the height of WCFZ are investigated through 75 groups of in situ data of WCFZ heights measured in the Jurassic coalfield of the Ordos Basin. Consequently, an IRMO-BP-NN model for predicting WCFZ height in the Jurassic coalfield of the Ordos Basin was constructed. The proposed IRMO-BP-NN model was validated through monitoring data from the 4 −2 216 working faces of Jianbei Coal Mine, followed by a comparative analysis with empirical formulas and conventional BP-NN models. The relative error of the IRMO-BP-NN prediction model is 4.93%, outperforming both the BP-NN prediction model, the SVR prediction model, and empirical formulas. The results demonstrate that the IRMO-BP-NN model enhances the accuracy of predicting WCFZ height, providing an application foundation for predicting such heights in the Jurassic coalfield of the Ordos Basin and protecting the ecological environment of Ordos Basin mining areas.
