Question

why should the residents of mining areas be rehabilited​

Answer 1

Answer:

Modern mine rehabilitation aims to minimize and mitigate the environmental effects of modern mining, which may in the case of open pit mining involve movement of significant volumes of rock. ... Tailings dams are left to evaporate, then covered with waste rock, clay if need be, and soil, which is planted to stabilize it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plz mark me the brainliest ..!!!

After mining finishes, the mine area must undergo rehabilitation.

Waste dumps are contoured to flatten them out, to further stabilize them against erosion.

If the ore contains sulfides it is usually covered with a layer of clay to prevent access of rain and oxygen from the air, which can oxidize the sulfides to produce sulfuric acid.

Landfills are covered with topsoil, and vegetationis planted to help consolidate the material.

Dumps are usually fenced off to prevent livestockdenuding them of vegetation.

The open pit is then surrounded with a fence, to prevent access, and it generally eventually fills up with groundwater.

Tailings dams are left to evaporate, then covered with waste rock, clay if need be, and soil, which is planted to stabilize it.

All the best..!!!
