Sand mining adversely behaves with changing river system, especially in the bedload transport process. This study aims to find out the relationships between river water flows, sediment transport regime in bedload transport and also tries to determine how instream mining affect the sediment inflow and channel planform change. The field study has been conducted …

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
