Mining activities are the integral part of societal development. However, the mitigation of mine impacted environmental and social issues warrant a corrective action supported by appropriate post
Introduction. Sand and gravel are used extensively in construction. In the preparation of concrete, for each tonne of cement, the building industry needs about six to seven times more tonnes of sand and gravel (USGS, 2013b). Thus, the worlds use of aggregates for concrete can be estimated at billion to billion tonnes a year for 2012 alone.

#0183;#32;Mining is an inherently destructive industry, and the mining effects of even a single operation can have a severe impact on the environment and the wildlife that lives nearby. Although there are some regulations in place that are intended to minimize the damage, they are not enough to allow mining and wildlife to exist in harmony, especially in cases where the regulations are difficult to enforce.
#0183;#32;Sand mining is the worlds largest mining endeavor, responsible for 85 percent of all mineral extraction. It is also the least regulated, and quite possibly the most corrupt and environmentally destructive. or even to promote good practice. Not all sand is the same.
#0183;#32;4. Extract essential sources of energy: Mining results in the extraction of raw materials like oil, coal, gas, iron ores, and minerals providing efficient use of energy. 5. Development of social amenities: Mining in an area facilitates the development of social services like schools, healthcare, water for the employees working in the area and their families.
ADVERTISEMENTS: Some of the major effects of mining on the environment are as follows: Minerals are the natural resources which play an important role in the economic development of the country. But the extraction and mining of these natural resources leads to some adverse effect on our environment as well. ADVERTISEMENTS: Some of them are []

The effect of mining is compounded by the effect of sea level rise. Any volume of sand exported from streambeds and coastal areas is a loss to the system. Excessive instream sand mining is a threat to bridges, river banks and nearby structures. Sand mining also affects the adjoining groundwater system and the uses that local people make of the
