Sand Mining

Sand mining is the process of extracting sand from various environments, such as riverbeds, beaches, and deserts. Sand is a crucial resource for construction, especially in making concrete and glass. While it drives economic growth, excessive sand mining can lead to environmental issues like habitat destruction, erosion, and water pollution. Sustainable practices and regulations are important to balance the demand for sand with the need to protect ecosystems. Moreover, illegal sand mining is a growing concern in some regions, raising social and legal challenges.
