Comparative Study Between Archaic and Advance Technique to Evaluate the Impact of Mining Activities on Neighboring Environment

Abstract

Abstract: Geo-material plays significant role in the expansion of social progress, industrial growth and treasure of all nations. Rocks are one of the most accessible natural resource and one of the most important building material for urban development. It has been used from the initial spells of our progress for a multiple uses that have increased in quantity and complexity with time. Stone is a major basic raw material applied in crushed form for construction. Minerals are non-renewable in nature and also limited as well and Rocks are the assemblage of minerals. A mineral formerly extracted from the earth were leftover forever so the suitable arrangement of use for minerals including exploration and exploitation should be implemented. Compared to traditional methods, new advanced methodologies are widely used for surveying, mapping and monitoring of these natural resources. Remote Sensing and GIS/ GPS technology including drone technology has been capable as native/ global survey using aerial photo and satellite imagery for temporal study. The multi-temporal nature of satellite imagery helps to monitor present and past situation of the earth features. Thus, provides a useful information to identify land use/ land cover changes and calculate the amount of change. Satellite images are a valuable source of data for surveying, mapping, and monitoring of terrestrial resources as compared to older approaches such as topography and aerial photography. The multi-date character of space technology integrated with drone technology allows to manage/ monitor the mining activities.
