1.2 Past Work on River Sand Mining Consequence of instream sand mining can be categorized into three aspects i.e. channel hydrology, channel morphology, river ecology including surface water deterioration and ground water fluctuation along the channel bed (Ghosh et al. 2016). Several researchers predict that consequence of instream mining not only

2.2.3 Sand Mining Process and Consequences. Alluvial sand mining processes are generally two types i.e. instream sand mining and floodplain sand mining (Kondolf 1994; Padmalal and Maya 2014).Instream sand mining means extraction of sand and gravel from active channel bed sites or sandbars, point bars Footnote 5 under fluvial subsystems. Floodplain sand mining …

Although reach specific investigations document local impacts of sand mining, they do not provide information about more distal impacts, such as delta or coastal shoreline starvation, or upstream or downstream morphological changes to river channels. Of the studies reporting the type of mining, most focused on instream mining.

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.

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.
