Explanation:

Several serious environmental impacts related to quarrying activities on and near the river, such as vibrations, land degradation, land subsidence and landslides, water pollution, occupational noise pollution, and air pollution, will lead to health-related problems and loss of biodiversity.

Mining and quarrying can be very destructive to the environment. They have a direct impact on the countryside by leaving pits and heaps of waste material. The extraction processes can also contaminate air and water with sulfur dioxide and other pollutants, putting wildlife and local populations at risk.

Environmental impacts due to mining manifest as water pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, increase in health related problems, occupational noise pollution, vibrations, land subsidences and landslides.

Quarrying can cause water pollution, for example through the emission of suspended solids. Consequently, all water emissions from quarries are strictly controlled to reduce the risk.Advantages

Quarrying creates jobs in areas where there are limited opportunities.

There is a huge demand for the products of quarrying, such as building stone and cement. ...

Quarrying provides income to local councils through taxation.

Good communications are needed for transporting the products of quarrying.

The major environmental and socio-economic problems related to quarrying revealed during this study include, landscape alteration, hill cutting affecting local biodiversity, generation of unproductive wastelands, dust pollution, noise pollution, illegal stone extraction, accidents and in some areas lowering of ...

Advantages Disadvantages

Quarries provide much needed employment opportunities in areas where jobs are often hard to come by. Noise pollution from the blasting needed to extract rock.

Pits and quarries are, by nature, self-consuming. Once a quarry's stone, sand and gravel have been fully extracted it's no longer necessary to keep it open. Sites can stay open for 35 years or more but many are depleted within 5 years.
