MANAGEMENT OF POST MINING LAND AND WATER IN INDIAN MINES
Abstract
India is a growing economy with sizeable industrialisation and mining sector. About 500 million tons of minerals are produced in the country annually with 80 \% of coal. Almost entire quantity of industrial minerals are coming from open cast mining. Indian population is more than one billion which is 16 \% of world population residing only in fortieth part of the global area. There is no doubt the environment is of greatest relevance to India. Indian economy is based on Agriculture, which can not grow without ample fertile land and water. The requirement of land and water is increasing every year as the population of the country is increasing . Due to continuous industrialisation of the country and rapid growth of mineral industry, the availability of usable land and water in decreasing every year. CWC (Central Water Commission, India) have projected India’s population at different time horizons on the basis of different forecasts made by experts.
