Apr 25, 2017#0183;#32;Mining adversely affects the environment by inducing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and contamination of surface water, groundwater, and soil. Mining can also trigger the formation of sinkholes. The leakage of chemicals from mining sites can also have detrimental effects on the health of the population living at or around the mining site.
It causes subsidence as mines collapse and the land above it starts to sink. This causes serious damage to buildings. It lowers the water table, changing the flow of groundwater and streams. In Germany for example, over 500 million cubic metres of water are pumped out of the ground every year.
In addition, mining may modify stream morphology by disrupting a channel, diverting stream flows, and changing the slope or bank stability of a stream channel. These disturbances can significantly change the characteristics of stream sediments, reducing water quality (Johnson, 1997a:149).
Mining activity exerts a long lasting impact on landscape, ecosystem and socioculturaleconomic considerations. It is noteworthy to mention that the actual land mass. available to mankind is just 30% of total global surface. area.
Mining of marine sands has resulted in the disappearance of entire islands near Jakarta, Indonesia, and beaches in Morocco and the Caribbean. Beachsand, dune, and barrierisland mining may also result in increased storm surges from tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and tsunamis.
Mining activities significantly impact the environment; they generate huge quantities of spoil, promote deforestation and the loss of agricultural production, as well as releasing contaminants
Sand, galena, gold etc. are mined by this process. Impacts of Mining: Mining is done to extract minerals from deep deposits in soil. Environmental damages caused by mining activities are as follows: 1. Devegetation and defacing of lands: Mining requires removal of vegetation along with underlying soil mantle and overlying rock masses.

Contamination of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) originating from mines and spoils, leaching of heavy metals, organic enrichment and silting by sand particles are major causes of degradation of water quality. Key words: mining, water quality, Acid mine drainage, environmental damage. 1. INTRODUCTION.
Feb 05, 2019#0183;#32;Sand mining concessions in national parks and internationally recognized wetlands were killing mangroves and sea grasses that were home to Irrawaddy dolphins, green turtles, and hairynosed otters, one of the worlds rarest mammals. Sand and gravel are mined on
Sand is vital for sustenance of rivers. The sand mining has several impacts on the river environment. Sand mining disturbs and completely remove the habitat from the mined zones. It leads to changes in its channel form, physical habitats and food webs the rivers ecosystem.
#32;Now,#32;mine closure and a number of activities to mitigate the impacts of mining are an integral part of all metal mine planning and mineral development from the discovery phase through to closure:
These physical impacts cause degradation of riparian and aquatic biota and may lead to the undermining of bridges and other structures. Continued extraction may also cause the entire streambed to degrade to the depth of excavation. Sand mining generates extra vehicle traffic, which negatively impairs the environment.
increases flow energy. Figure shows the development of nick point during more pit excavation, which become a. location of bed erosion that gradually moves upstream, shown by A. B shows that. continuation in stream mining of sand, lowers the stream bottom leading to bank erosion, bed.
May 11, 2015#0183;#32;Silica sand mining has minimal environmental impact, involves virtually no public health risk, and is an important part of domestic energy production that has substantial economic benefits. Heartland Policy Study No. 137, Environmental Impacts of Industrial Silica Sand (Frac Sand) Mining, documents the following facts:
The excessive mining makes the lower surface of the soil week and as a result the chances of soil erosion increases in the top layer. The problem with excessive mining is that it acts as a catalyst in the soil erosion process. The excessive use of mining shifts soil erosion from its natural course of action.
Other environmental impacts of sand mining that were identi ed in the study area include landform instability which is due to the removal of riparian vegetation.
IMPACT OF SAND AND GRAVEL DREDGING ON THE ENVIRONMENT ABSTRACT For thousands of years, sand and gravel have been used in the construction of roads and buildings. Today, demand for sand and gravel continues to increase. Mining operators, in conjunction with cognizant resource agencies, must work to ensure that sand mining is conducted in a responsible manner.
