Aggradation is the depositional process where material is added in a vertical filling. (Aggradation is sometimes referred to as vertical accretion ). In the stratigraphic sequence, there is no …
Rivers
The addition of sediments to stream channels by mining is a cause of channel aggradation. Mine wastes can clog channel systems (Macklin and Lewin 1989) and cause them to aggrade. For example, in New Caledonia, some of the rivers are known to be highly impacted by the coarse sediment waves induced by the mining of nickel deposits that started in ...

Sediment Transport and Flood Risk: Impact of Newly …
The potential impact of increased sediment influx due to sediment mining requires specific attention given that mining has become increasingly commonplace and is sometimes even a prerequisite for embankment construction. A higher level of sediment influx increases downstream sedimentation and thus promotes overtopping and flood inundation.

In this paper we use numerical modeling to reconstruct the effects of a massive addition of sediment to Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, as a result of placer mining for gold.
How digital innovation can improve mining productivity
The global mining industry is under pressure. In the short term, falling commodity prices are squeezing cash flow. Looking ahead, many existing mines are maturing, resulting in the extraction of lower ore grades and longer haul distances from the mine face; ore-body-replacement rates are in decline; and new-mine-development times are increasing.
A STREAM CHANNEL STABILITY ASSESSMENT …
induced by channel instability and associated channel adjustment can occur. The author has observed at least eight separate evolutionary scenarios as shown in Figure 1. One challenge in stability assessment is to determine the evolutionary state and sequence of the stream. The cause of the instability is as important to understand as well as

Why mining can cause soil erosion?
Land subsidence induced by underground coal mining is one of the adverse impacts of mining, which not only destroys soil structure and changes its properties, but also causes other eco-environmental problems, such as limitation of vegetation growth, reduction of crop production, plant death, acceleration of soil water …
Soil Degradation: Types, Causes, Effects, and Solutions
Improper use of fertilizers can denature essential soil minerals and result in nutrient losses. This destroys the soil's biological activity and can lead to the buildup of toxic substances. Industrial and Mining Activities: These activities contribute to soil pollution. Mining destroys crop cover and releases toxic chemicals into the soil ...
Evolution of the alluvial fan channel longitudinal profile and
Given that climatic factors first control the sediment, water, or water-to-sediment flux ratio (q w / q s) in rivers, and subsequently affect river aggradation and degradation, comprehending the quantitative relationship between water-sand ratios and river processes is essential to grasp the impact of climatic factors on river dynamics.Directly observing long-term …

15.3: Why Deposition or Erosion?
A Broad View of Sediment Deposition. Take as broad a view of sediment deposition as possible (Figure (PageIndex{1})): sediment is derived from a source, mobilized, transported along a transport path, and deposited somewhere, which you could think of a sink.This is simple and elegant—but there is much more here than you might assume, at first thought.
What Does Underground Mining Impact on the Environment?
Mining activities can directly and indirectly impact various species. The loss of habitat, contamination of water sources, and air pollution can all contribute to the displacement …
Restoring Soil Quality to Mitigate Soil …
Feeding the world population, 7.3 billion in 2015 and projected to increase to 9.5 billion by 2050, necessitates an increase in agricultural production of ~70% between 2005 and 2050. Soil degradation, characterized by decline in …
Stream Channel Grade Changes and Their Effects on …
Aggradation is easier to evaluate than degrada tion because depositional features are usually ob vious and can develop longer and more fully before they pose a danger to crossings. Aggradation can occur on any type of stream and is common in bedrock or mountainous streams. The first sign of aggrada
Decision-making model for production and …
As can be seen from Fig. 8, when the three mining areas of the gold mine are all in the service life of production, the total annual gold throughput of the mine is 9523 kg. In the 9th year, since ...
Towards a better integration of local populations in the …
The relationship is significant enough to serve as a reference law. The widths predicted by this reference law for the 86 impacted sites are all lower than the observed values, which clearly confirms the relevance of using the deviation from the reference model as a proxy for mining-induced aggradation.
The Nature of Induced Erosion and Aggradation
Along with that anthropogenic activities such as landuse transformation, damming, embanking, in-channel mining and construction of overpasses on the river channels, can also amplify channel ...
Prolonged sediment aggradation in an internal Himalayan …
Aggradation typically occurs when sediment supply to rivers (Q s) surpasses their transport capacity (Q c).While extreme events like outburst floods (Dahlquist and West, 2022) and large earthquakes (Lavé et al., 2023; Schwanghart et al., 2016) can cause this Q s-Q c imbalance, it is often attributed to Earth's oscillating late Quaternary climate (Bridgland and Westaway, …
