Illegal and indiscriminate sand mining will became threat to the worldwide environments. It leads to changes in river channel form, physical habitats and food webs. It also increases the velocity of flow in river which destroy flow-regime eventually erodes the river banks.
People are dredging an alarming amount of sand from the seafloor, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warned today. An average of 6 billion tons of sand are taken from marine...

This paper assesses the environmental impact of sand extraction and the problems associated with its illegal exploitation. The analysis indicates that extracting sand at a greater rate than that at which it is naturally replenished has …
By combining these measures, it is possible to minimize the environmental impacts of sand mining and ensure the long-term sustainability of water ecosystems. View full-text Article
This paper brings together the effects of river sand mining on the physical, biological, chemical, and anthropogenic environment through a systematic literature review. …
Evidently, the negative impact of sand extraction on the environment extends to human health and ecosystems, bringing great social and economic harm. Potential Solutions As a natural resource, sand must be …
The purpose of this paper is twofold: to present an overview of the sand market, highlighting the main trends and actors for production, export and import, and to review the main environmental impacts associated with sand exploitation process.

Evidently, the negative impact of sand extraction on the environment extends to human health and ecosystems, bringing great social and economic harm. Potential Solutions As a natural resource, sand must be extracted and used sustainably.
The ecological impacts of sand mining extend beyond the aquatic environment, affecting diverse ecosystems such as wetlands, coastal dunes, and riparian habitats. Habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of ecological
This paper brings together the effects of river sand mining on the physical, biological, chemical, and anthropogenic environment through a systematic literature review. The effects found are widespread and often cumulative.
