ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF LARGE SCALE MINING IN ZAMBIA There are many environmental impacts resulting from mining activities. In this study, a choice has been made to focus on impacts with mostly local and sometimes regional effects. This means that environmental issues with impacts on a global scale, such as emission of greenhouse

River Environment Impact of Sand mining 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 river‟s ecosystem. It also increases the velocity of flow in river

26/06/2017 Sand is an indispensable natural resource for any society. Despite society’s increasing dependence on sand, there are major challenges that this industry needs to deal with: limited sand resources, illegal mining, and environmental impact of sand mining. The purpose of this paper is twofold: to present an overview of the sand market, highlighting the main
07/10/2010 The environmental impact assessment applied in this study shows that negative effects are severe in areas of pit excavation and/or mechanized sand mining. But, preparation of a full fledged environmental management plan for instream and floodplain mining is difficult at this moment as the magnitude of the effects is not yet fully realized. Further, future research is
