The environmental consequence of strip mining on water is toxic material left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

WHAT IS STRIP MINING:

  • Strip mining is the process of extracting ore by removing the soil and rock that overlays the mineral ore.

  • Strip mining is a commonly used extraction method for coal. It is however, used for ores that are close to the surface of the soil or rock to be removed.

By growing where it not native, it can spread extremely fast, blanketing a water surface in a very short period of time. It can limit boat traffic, swimming, and fishing, and it can deprive native plants and animals of sunlight and oxygen, thus reducing the local biodiversity.

This is how an ecosystem effects biodiversity impact. When a biological species grows in the new environment, It can affect the biodiversity or environment that can affect the biological species.
