| dc.description.abstract | The river Tawi in Jammu and Kashmir faces indiscriminate sand mining practice
where large amount of sand is being mined from the river bed between Nagrota
and Sidhra area. The increasing pace of urbanization and associated
developments in Jammu City and nearby areas are responsible for this practice.
The mining activity in Tawi river involves massive digging of river bed materials
upto 3-4 mts depth with the help of heavy duty excavators used by the mining
contractors, whereas, the Geology and Mining Department gave the permission to
extract the materials up to 3 mts depth. Moreover, the sand mining has impacted
the flow of river Tawi particularly between Nagrota and Sidhra. In this study, the
locations of sand mining sites in Tawi river between Nagrota and Sidhra are
mapped from 2007 to 2018 and an attempt made to analyse the possible impact of
sand mining on the flow of river. The mapping is done by using GIS technique and
a field visit is also carried out for acquiring the coordinates and photographs of
present sand mining sites in river Tawi | en_US |
