Item Analysing The Impact Of Sand Mining On The Flow Of Tawi River, Jammu And Kashmir(Central University of Punjab, 2018) Salgotra, Vishabh; GUITE, L.T. SASANGThe 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 TawiItem Destruction of Aravalli and Its Human Impacts(Central University of Punjab, 2018) Shiva; Guite, L.T. SasangMining is carried out all over the world for mineral excavations. It is very important for the economic and social development of the region. This study focuses on different literatures on impacts of mining in Pali area of Haryana. The study has been carried out for Pali region that shares a very little part of Aravali range. Maps have been prepared for years 2004, 2010 & 2017 locating the mining sites of the regions and the change in landuse patterns of the particular region at different temporal intervals. Field visit has been carried out to verify the result and the ground reality of the study area. The main focus of this work is to demarcate the area of mining and study the landuse change through GIS.Item Mapping of Granite and Marble Slurry sites of Rajasthan(Central University of Punjab, 2018) Singh, Ravindra; Singh K. KiranRajasthan is known as Museum of minerals in India. It owns 79 different types of Major and Minor minerals. It shares 9% of the mineral production in India. Mining and smelting of its base metal deposits are also one of the oldest in the world dating back to more than 2,500 years before present. Rajasthan is also Known for its decorative stones; Marble and Granite. Marble has been mined here for last 400 year. Taj Mahal & Victoria palace is built by Rajasthani Marble. But nowadays Rajasthan is paying the heavy price of stone mining & processing. The waste generated from Mining and processing from conventional techniques is very high & sometimes it is up to 70% of the total mined block. The waste remains in the form of odd blocks, unshaped rock fragments, Krazzy and stone slurry. All the other waste except the slurry can be used directly for various purpose. The slurry causes different pollution like air pollution, land pollution, water pollution and visibility pollution when it is dumped unscientifically. There are 7 Tehsils of Rajasthan which are affected by this problem. In this study, the locations of the Slurry dumping sites (both scientific & unscientific) has mapped & the total area which falls under the slurry site is calculated. Though this mapping is conducted with simple techniques but the study will help in prepare a data inventory of these pollutant slurry sites. It can be further used in Site suitability analysis of the slurry sites.
