Impacts of riverine sand mining on freshwater ecosystems: A

Rivers are a major source of sand and gravel for numerous reasons: cities tend to be located near rivers so transport costs are low; river energy grinds rocks into gravels and sands, thus eliminating the cost of mining, grinding, and sorting rocks; and the material produced by rivers tends to consist of resilient minerals of angular shape that are preferred for construction (whereas wind-blown

Sand and Gravel

Sand and gravel deposits found on beaches or in rivers and streams, are mostly quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) grains. Weathering of rocks such as granite forms these quartz grains. In the process of weathering, the softer, weaker minerals in granite (such as feldspar) are weathered away. The more resistant quartz eventually is ground down in size, but does not break down chemically. In time

Sand and gravel products lay the groundwork for virtually all construction, landscaping, and transportation applications. Specialty sand and gravel products are also responsible for the production of silica (for glass and many other uses) and for products such as filter sands. These aggregates are used in the production of road base, concrete, your favorite golf coarse, and even your car windows.

Most of our materials, such as washed sand and gravel, must be processed before use. We use water to separate sand from rock and wash out fine particles such as clay. The sand and rocks are then placed in piles to drain the water, which is saved to re-use later. The washed material is then used to make products such as ready-mix concrete, asphalt concrete, landscape materials, and drainage rock.

1. IMPACTS OF SAND MINING

Excessive instream sand-and-gravel mining causes the degradation of rivers. Instream mining lowers the stream bottom, which may lead to bank erosion. Depletion of sand in the streambed and along coastal areas causes the deepening of rivers and estuaries, and the enlargement of river mouths and coastal inlets. It may also lead to saline-water intrusion from the nearby sea. The effect of mining
