Goa is a famous International tourist destination and attracts around 2 million tourists annually. Tourism is generally limited along the coastal belt of Goa, while mining is more focused in the midland of Goa. The groundwater in the State is mainly used for drinking and industrial purposes followed by agriculture to some extent. The open cast iron ore mining in Goa had induced significant changes in groundwater quality and quantity. The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of mining activities on the qualitative scenario of ground water in the study area.
This paper deals with utilization of flyash to vegetation programmed in abandoned open cast mines of Jharia coalfields, Dhanbad, Jharkhand. Its physical properties are beneficial in vegetation purposes in abandoned opencast mines of Jharia coalfields.
The impact of various industrial developments on water resources may be in the range of minimal to severe. An intensive investigation was conducted in highly industrialized area of Angul to determine the water quality status. The industries such as coal mines of MCL, Aluminium Plant of NALCO and its CPP, Talcher Super Thermal Power Station and Talcher Thermal Power Station of NTPC etc.
Coal is the prime source of energy in India. Opencast mining of coal damage a large land surface area, displace people from their natural home and cause agricultural losses. This raises a number of environ
In India huge amount of flyash is generated from coal-fired thermal power plants, causing several disposal-related problems. The disposal of coal ash is a matter of great concern nowadays as it requires huge area of land at the disposal site but also adversely affects surface, sub surface environment. The present paper discusses the several environmental aspects of coal ash disposal.
Metals, a major category of globally distributed pollutants, are natural elements that have been extracted from the earth and harnessed for human use. It is only when metals are present at excessive levels in bioavailable forms, they become potentially toxic to plants.
Coal is the only natural resource and fossil fuel available in abundance in India. The major environmental challenges encountering the coal industry are impacts of mine fires, dust suppression and control particularly haul road dust consolidation, treatment of mine waters
The study was conducted in three districts of Punjab to find out the indigenous techniques for management of insect-pests and their scientific background. It was revealed that several indigenous practices are useful for pest management and are relevant even in modern agriculture.
The geochemistry of ponds was studies around Jharia coal mining area. The high concentrations of cations and anions revealed the enrichment of pollution and thick population of E.coli bacteria. The pond waters are alkaline at all sampling sites and control the weathering pattern and availability of dissolved solids in Jharia pond water.
