ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY SUMMARY Mining activities cover a diverse range of environments and the challenges are often unique and specific to each mine site. However, mining activities will invariably have an impact on water environments through direct or indirect contact of either the surface or groundwater.

ADVERTISEMENTS: The Impact of Surface and Coal Mining on Environment! Surface mining often leads to acid mine -drainage and silt run off which degrades quality of water. Acid mine drainage is an important source of increased acidity in natural waters. Its main constituents are sulphuric acid and iron compounds formed as a result of water, []

One cause of mining is population growth. With an increasing population, the overall world consumption levels also increase. This means that in order to be able to provide enough goods for the world population, resources have to be extracted at large scale. One great possibility to extract these resources is mining.

In particular, surface mining is used to retrieve sand, gravel, stones, coal, iron and other metals. There are five recognized types of surface mining, each with specific variations depending on the minerals being extracted. These include strip mining, open-pit mining, mountaintop removal, dredging and highwall mining.
