چکیده

rajasthan is one of the main mineral potential state of india. during the last 30 years it has witnessed enormous expansion of mining industries, but mining of most of the minor minerals coupled with changing climate has posed serious problems to the environmental fabric in the state, apart from base metal beneficiation plants. groundwater is also being polluted day-by-day by effluents generated from mineral wastes and beneficiation processes in the vicinity of mining sites such as khetri. pollutant concentrations were measured in groundwater at the vicinity of khetri copper mining project, rajasthan to investigate the influence of copper mining on environment. pollutant concentrations in groundwater were investigated. copper metal concentration in water samples were found above the maximum desirable limit in two sources: g4 and g5, due to washing away of mineral with water. mining industry has deteriorated quality of groundwater resources in the state of rajasthan, and these industries are becoming centers of pollution sources which need timely actions at government level so that natural resources such as groundwater can be protected.

Impact of uranium mines closure and abandonment on groundwater quality.

The aim of the study is to assess the evolving mine water quality of closed uranium mines (abandoned between 1958 and 1992) in the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on the changes in mine water quality over time and spatial variability. In 2010, systematic monitoring of mine water quality was performed at all available locations of previous uranium exploitation. Gravity flow discharges (mine a...

Evaluation of the impact of landfill leachate on groundwater quality in Kolkata, India

The present study is aimed at characterizing the landfill leachate as well as its impact on the surrounding groundwater in Kolkata, India. Landfill leachate has been seasonally characterized from 2012-2014, indicating the landfill site in methanogenic phase with high contamination of organics, nutrients, salts, and heavy metals. Sixty groundwater samples have been analyzed for twenty two physic...
