Environmental Effects of Sand and Gravel Mining
The increase in the demand for sand and gravel for construction and other purposes such as flood control has placed immense pressure on the environment where sand and gravel resources occur. Sand and gravel mining has been one of the serious environmental problems around the globe in recent years. This often results in land degradation, loss of agricultural lands and biodiversity as well increased poverty among people. In order to address these problems, pragmatic and explicit laws and regulations have to be developed by countries in a ASSESSMENT OF SOCIOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF SAND AND GRAVEL
