Impact of Coal Mining on Water Resources
-
Description
-
Coal mining is vital for economic growth, particularly in developing countries like India, where its consumption has surged significantly over the decades. However, the environmental repercussions are substantial, affecting land, water, air, and biodiversity. Mining practices—especially open-cast methods—cause severe land degradation, water pollution, and air quality deterioration. Additionally, coal mining poses health risks to workers and disrupts local communities. To mitigate these impacts, effective environmental management policies and land reclamation strategies are essential. Future energy strategies should prioritize renewable sources to balance economic needs with ecological preservation.
