摘要: The volume of mine waste rock generated, including tailings from mineral processing activities, is one the main pollution concerns in mining industry general. In State Goa (India), management becoming increasingly difficult due to acute space shortage consequent expanding activities. These rocks contain acid producing sulphides and high concentrations heavy metals. region, agricultural fields, nallahs, river beds creeks are prone siltation/sediment deposition, which results soil erosion rainfall this region receives. view degradation surrounding environment, article seeks estimate amounts dumps using RUSLE model evaluates impacts on local environment. Based data interpretation analysis, trends loss were established under various geo-environmental conditions, such as d...
