Water Environment Sample Clauses

Water Environment. The impact of mining project on groundwater hydrology and surface water regime are site specific and depends upon the characteristics of the mineral, hydrogeology and requirement of groundwater for other uses. ⮚ As there is no river or Nallah passing through the mine site, hence no impact is anticipated on the hydrological regime of the area due to mining activity. ⮚ No natural course of water stream is interrupted or diverted due to mining activity; hence no impact on natural drain is anticipated. ⮚ Surface run off distribution during rainy season may get affected due to excavated pits and overburden stack. ⮚ Runoff from the mining benches or from overburden during the rainy season may get contaminated. ⮚ Domestic sewage will be generated which can create contamination. ⮚ Overall drainage planning has been done in such a manner that the existing premising drainage conditions will be maintained to the extent possible so that run off distribution is not affected. ⮚ Practically there is no overburden or reject generating from the mining activity, Moreover the excavated mineral itself is non-toxic and hence no effect due to water flow during rains following the contours of the area is expected.

Water Environment. 3.7.1 Water Quality

Water Environment. 3 Nos. Surface water and 4 Nos. groundwater samples were collected from different sources within the study area and some important physical and chemical parameters were considered for depicting the baseline status of the study area. ⮚ pH varies from 7.31 at GW1 to 7.86 at GW4 in the Study period. ⮚ Total Hardness varies from 160 mg/l at GW2 to 258 mg/l at GW4 in the Study Period. ⮚ Total dissolved solids vary from 308 mg/l at GW2 to 464 mg/l at GW4 in the Study period. ⮚ pH varies from 7.32 at SW3 to 7.8 at SW1 in the Study period. ⮚ Chlorides varies from 38 mg/l at SW1 to 62 mg/l at SW3 in the Study Period. ⮚ Sulphates varies from 27 mg/l at SW1 to 58 mg/l at SW3 in the Study Period.
