devastating environmental effects, of them water pollution is considered an important one. Water pollution in mining areas can occur in two basic ways – physically and chemically. Physical impact mainly results from silting in the surface water bodies. Deterioration in drinking water quality is a serious human health issue.

 — The impact of mining operations on the surrounding land is also closely linked to the ecological setting of the mining sites. For example, the deforestation of primary forests caused by mining for iron ore in the tropical rainforests of Gabon is likely to leave more devastating and longer term ecological damage compared to mining iron ore in ...

 — Mining can remove large volumes of groundwater and has the potential to impact nearby wells. Impacts could include the lowering of water levels, possibly even causing a nearby well to go dry. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reviews large water removal activities to ensure that groundwater use will not harm wells in the …

 — 1) Explore new technologies to reduce mining's impacts on water. Several mining companies are exploring new methods, such as direct lithium extraction (DLE), to reduce the water-related risks of mining. Unlike the evaporation process, DLE captures usable forms of the mineral directly from brine water, reducing water usage and …

 — The Cévennes region is located on the southeastern edge of the Massif Central mountains in France. The region was an important Pb-Zn mining area from the mid 19th to the late 20th century (Fig. 1).The long history of mining has left a legacy of abandoned mine sites which pose a potential threat to water quality in the old mining …

 — The quality of rock mass, water content, and hydrochemical characteristics in deep geological formations all have an impact on their electrical resistivity, resulting in significant differences in ...

 — In a national study of groundwater quality, the USGS found that arsenic was detected in nearly half of the wells sampled in parts of aquifers used for drinking-water supply at a concentration of 1 µg/L or greater.Detections were more common and concentrations generally were higher in the west than in the east. About 7 percent of the …
