Sand mining is a practice that is becoming an environmental issue as the demand for sand increases in industry and construction (Wikipedia-2011). Extraction of sand and gravel resources has a number of adverse environmental impacts (Sonak et al. 2006; Kondolf 1994, 1997), which were first reported in the developed world.Quarrying and open-cast mining entail significant visual impacts and degradation problems as a result of soil depletion and deep alteration in the original topography of the area. Quarrying is an important industry, and as the demands for limestone increase, quarrying has become concentrated in several deep

Ever-expanding human needs and economic progress creates a massive load on the natural asset base. Dependency on the land and geomorphological setup, the degree of the environmental effects also changes the river sand and gravel mining.
