In river environment, sand and gravel deposits are extracted mainly from two major sources: (1) active channels and (2) floodplain areas and overbank areas (like terraces).
DetailsUncontrolled sand mining alters river channels, erodes riverbanks, destroys habitats, and disrupts the natural balance of aquatic ecosystems. 2. Increased Flooding Risks. Excessive sand mining reduces the river's capacity to carry water, leading to increased flood risks during heavy rainfall events. 3. Water Quality Issues
DetailsWhile critically examining the sand mining process and procedure vis-a-vis management, coordination and control, study of river hydrogeology, and sediment …
DetailsExtraction of sand and gravel from the active channel of a river is called instream sand mining. Instream (in-channel) sand usually requires less …
DetailsMining of sand manifold higher than natural replenishments leads to severe damages to river systems. The mining process not only intercepts movement of sediments along the river channels, but disturbs the sediment balance established in the system over the geological time periods. Indiscriminate sand mining imposes several adverse impacts …
DetailsSand mining can take many forms, ranging from subsistence collection by hand to mega-quarries, and occur in natural sand dunes, broken down from rock quarries, dredged from the bottoms of lakes, rivers, and shorelines, or even mined from volcanic sites (Koehnken and Rintoul, 2018; Bisht, 2021; Miller, 2022, see Fig. 1 for a basic …
Details2.2.3 Sand Mining Process and Consequences. Alluvial sand mining processes are generally two types i.e. instream sand mining and floodplain sand mining (Kondolf 1994; Padmalal and Maya 2014).Instream sand mining means extraction of sand and gravel from active channel bed sites or sandbars, point bars Footnote 5 under fluvial …
DetailsSand in River Ecosystem: A 2018 WWF paper on "Impacts of Sand Mining on Ecosystem Structure, Process and Biodiversity in Rivers"2 says: "Sand which is part of the overall sediment load that rivers carry from the head-waters in the mountains to the estuaries, deltas and near
DetailsSand-and-gravel mining in stream channels and mining of sand in the active sand dunes or beach can damage structures built in the coastal areas and river bank by counter effect. Several studies have documented the bed degradation caused by the two general forms of instream mining, viz. pit excavation and bar skimming.
DetailsRivers are one of the main sources to supply sand and gravel for construction projects. Depending on river morphology and hydraulic characteristics, its sediment transport capacity, and mining operation method, the extraction of river bed materials may affect its ecosystem through bank and bed erosion. To advance the …
Detailsdebris. River bed sand is generally used for building construction. The medium grade is used for making concrete and fine sand is used for plastering. Sediment mining, sand mining, and dredging: Mining involves the systematic extraction of sand or other sediment for their use. Sediments mining or loosely sand mining (hitherto SM), …
DetailsToo much mining of sand and gravel from streams destroys rivers. The effects of extensive sand mining on the river channel River bank erosion, bank slumping, and river channel lowering (Rastogi and Kumar, 2017; Sharma et al., 2022). Sand and gravel deposits in river environments are mostly taken from two places: (a) Active …

DetailsRiver-sand mining has risen dramatically in the last few decades to fulfil the need for concrete in the building sector. The sand in a river's bed preserves its environmental equilibrium (Farahani and Bayazidi, 2017).Excessive river-sand mining for use as fine aggregate in concrete is responsible for riverbed degradation, which causes …
DetailsThe background on the theory of sediment transport in rivers, an important topic in determination of sand replenishment rate, is also included together with a discussion of …
DetailsThe resulting complex outcomes for river sediment transport are beginning to receive attention as an influential process 15,39, as river mining for sand and aggregates occurs in many river systems ...
DetailsBut sand mining in rivers and on beaches continues to expand in many developing countries. It is often a lawless business, beset by corruption and violence. In India, the world's second-largest sand mining country, widespread illegal extraction "occurs through the country… run by highly organized and often violent sand mafias," reported ...
DetailsAfter 2000, illegal sand mining was banned in the Yangtze River mainstream, and in response to some disorderly mining, indiscriminate mining, and other phenomena, various departments worked ...
DetailsMore than half of the annual global concrete materials were produced in China due to the rapid developing construction industry, which partly led to the shortage of river sand. However, mining rate exceeds the natural replenishment rate of river sand recently, resulting in depletion of natural river sand accumulation. The increasing …
DetailsRiver Sand Mining in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is an island with a land area of 65,525 km 2, endowed with 103 distinct rivers and streams and 94 coastal basins.Most of these rivers originate in the central highlands and travel to all corners of the country.
DetailsIn rivers, construction grade sand occurs in different sources—active channels, floodplains, and river terraces. Different mining methods (mechanical or …
DetailsUrbanization and economic development fuel demand for sand, used for concrete. This study finds that sediment loads are insufficient to replace the sand mined from the Mekong River delta, with ...
DetailsBut to house those people, industrial sand mining or aggregate extraction – where sand and gravel are removed from river beds, lakes, the oceans and beaches for use in construction – is happening at …
DetailsConsequence of instream sand mining can be categorized into three aspects i.e. channel hydrology, channel morphology, river ecology including surface water deterioration and ground water fluctuation along the channel bed (Ghosh et al. 2016).Several researchers predict that consequence of instream mining not only occur …
DetailsSand Auditing is the process that evaluates the health status of rivers subjected to sand mining. This study reviews the river sand audit methodology applied in Kerala, India, from 2011 to 2019 in terms of geographical coverage, results, and applications.
DetailsRivers are one of the main sources to supply sand and gravel for construction projects. Depending on river morphology and hydraulic characteristics, its sediment transport capacity, and mining ...
DetailsDeveloping countries are presently undergoing diverse footprints from commercial river sand mining since the process of sand extraction causes immense destruction on the river system. It is vital that a better approach that would place huge emphasis on environmental performance is expedient so there can minimization of …
DetailsAnother bridge collapse in India in 2016 that killed 26 may have been caused by sand mining, though the local government denies it. Mining sand from the floodplains near rivers is less damaging but it can alter the water's course, creating dead-end diversions and pits that have proven fatal to salmon in Washington state. In …
