Theories about how extraction of carbonate rock can impact the environment can be extrapolated from some of these reports. Natural Formation of Karst
MoreParticulate pollution from quarrying and other activities have been known to have adverse effects on human health, soil and air quality and on vegetation. [ 1, 3, 4] Plants play many roles including serving as a source of medicine and food, and are essential in the stabilization natural systems. [ 5]
More02-05-2018 Quarries are known to cause sinkholes, damage groundwater tables, and increase the risks of experiencing soil erosion, even when managed properly. 2. Quarries create difficult traffic patterns. Limestone quarries may create jobs, but they also create costs. Traffic can be a major problem for small communities near a quarry.
MoreThe major environmental and socio-economic problems related to quarrying revealed during this study include, landscape alteration, hill cutting affecting local biodiversity, generation of unproductive wastelands, dust pollution, noise pollution, illegal stone extraction, accidents and in some areas lowering of groundwater table.

More17-09-2019 Resource availability and extraction seem to present a paradox to most countries in the global south. It appears to be a curse rather than a blessing. Using the resource curse theory as a philosophical lens, this study qualitatively analysed the effects of the stone quarrying industry in the Wenchi municipality of Ghana. Using the case study approach, information was gathered from 90 ...

MoreAt all three sites, the quarry dewatering has altered the local ground-water hydrology. In essence, the quarries act as huge wells, lowering the water table in the aquifer. The impact of the dewatering at the Kraemer Quarry is shown in Figure 2. This lowering could affect Figure 2. The impacts on ground-water levels of drawdown at Kraemer Quarry.
MoreQuarrying is the process of removing rock, sand, gravel or other minerals from the ground in order to use them to produce materials for construction or other uses. So, a quarry is any such working on the surface of the earth where minerals are extracted. Quarries are also known by other names around the world: 'surface mine', ‘pit’, 'open ...
