For example, in 2000, Chinese authorities banned sand mining in the Yangtze River after extraction had caused the collapse of bridges and riverbanks. 12 However, this led to the massive expansion of sand mining in Poyang lake, which is 300 miles up the Yangtze river from Shanghai. Poyang is China's largest freshwater lake …
February 11, 2021. The world's largest extractive industry gets little attention. Each year up to 50 billion tonnes of sand and gravel – known collectively as aggregate – are mined from rivers, lakes, oceans and hillsides. As it is the main ingredient in concrete and tarmac, our cities and roads are literally built on sand.
At the same time, the paper introduces many key technologies of green mine construction, such as the backfill mining method. In cooperation with China Road & Bridge Corporation, this …
Chapter 3. River Sand Mining and Mining Methods. Abstract Large-scale sand extraction from river environment for building constructions is a global phenomenon. Indiscriminate sand mining imposes a series of physical, ecological, and socio-environmental impacts on the river basins. Furthermore, the extraction of this granular material is ...
The sand mining in Narmada River continues even during the monsoon ban period, riding over the ban on mechanized mining by the National Green tribunal. Illegal mining is rampant and mafia is aggressive in their endeavor. Fig. 17.1 shows river sand mining in Narmada River. Download : Download full-size image; Figure 17.1.
Sand Mining Monitoring andAnalysis of the Yangtze River ... Multi-beam bathymetry is a modern underwater detection technology which has been widely used in the fields of underwater detection.We present the working principle and characteristics of this method and introduce its application to the monitoring of river sand and gravel resources.We …
More 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 …
Indiscriminate sand and gravel mining over the years has imposed permanent damages to the river ecosystems in the several parts of the India. Padmalal D. (2008–2014) is one of the leading researchers in India to successfully address the several consequences of instream and floodplain sand mining. S.
The analysis also revealed the monthly volume of sand mined from Odor River and loaded into trucks monthly. 11% of the respondents agreed that less than 50 trucks of sand mined monthly, 17% for 50–80 trucks monthly, 13% for 80–100 trucks monthly, 26% for 100–150 trucks monthly, and 31% for 200 trucks and above monthly.

The social and environmental impacts of sand mining have been increasingly documented and better understood. Here, we focus on negative impacts across six main categories (see Table 1), though we note that the complexity of issues at hand, including local livelihoods and need for construction materials, often result in conundrums and …
Innovation plays a critical role in the mining industry as a tool to improve the efficiency of its processes, to reduce costs, but also to meet the increasing social and environmental concerns among communities and authorities. Technological progress has also been crucial to allow the exploitation of new deposits in more complex scenarios: …
River sand mining is the extraction of sand (and gravel) from the drainage network of a river. By its nature, this practice effects the environment. The severity, …
