Gravel extraction

Gravel extraction is the process of removing gravel from the ground, typically from riverbeds, quarries, or pits, for use in construction, road building, and other infrastructure projects. It involves scooping or digging up the gravel, which is a mixture of small stones, pebbles, and sand. Proper management ensures minimal environmental impact, such as water quality and habitat disturbance. After extraction, the gravel is washed, processed, and transported to various sites, supporting development needs while efforts are made to restore disturbed areas to maintain ecological balance.
