NMFS National Gravel Extraction Guidance

This Gravel Guidance document addresses three types of instream gravel mining, described as dry-pit and wet-pit mining in the active channel, and bar skimming (or "scalping") (Kondolf 1993, 1994a, 1997, 1998a). Dry-pit refers to excavation on dry ephemeral stream beds and exposed bars with conventional bulldozers, scrapers, and loaders.

Sand Minning | PPT

It is used to extract sand for construction and manufacturing, as well as minerals like titanium. However, sand mining risks damaging habitat, altering river flows, and increasing turbidity. It can degrade instream and riparian environments by removing vegetation, disturbing river beds and banks, and lowering water tables.

We have integrated the morphological response to sand mining to develop an evolutionary pathway of the Gaula River from barren conditions (1976) to underfit channel formation (2021). We finally propose a process-response framework that highlights how sand mining triggers geomorphic degradation through a positive feedback mechanism.

Sand Mining: The World Scenario

River sand mining is widespread in most of the developing and developed countries. Of the different types of fluvial systems, small rivers (catchment area <10,000 km 2) are the worst affected due to indiscriminate sand mining than large rivers as the area available for dissipation of negative externalities is low in small river basins.This chapter deals with a brief account of the ...

Sand Mining in India

According to the sand mining framework, India requires 70 million tonnes of sand per year, with demand increasing by 7% each year. Sand mining is the process of removing sand and gravel from the ground. In India, sand mining is largely related to construction activities. Sand is becoming a high-value commodity as a result of this massive demand.
