Multi-Disciplinary Approach for Surface Mining Effects on Shallow Groundwater Potential Using Remote Sensing and Gis.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 12
Abstract
Ground water is becoming a major concern with respect to surface mining. Two major concerns are ground‐water quality and ground‐water quantity, but only the quantity aspects are addressed in this paper. Mining exerts pressure on environment at many stages such as exploration, extraction, processing, and post closure operations. Increase in production and opening of new mines do generate pressure on environment. The key environmental problems arising out of mining activities are land degradation, surface water and groundwater, degradation of forest and loss of biodiversity, soil contamination, deterioration of natural drainage system, air pollution, noise and vibrations. The principle aim of this research is to evaluate the value of integration of remote sensing and GIS techniques in monitoring the impact of mining activity on groundwater resources in around the Pallakkapalayam Limestone Mine lease areas of Komarapalayam, Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu.
